I live in Tokyo and recommend a magazine called "Paseo." It has a broad range of articles, interviews and listings of tablao activities, concerts, workshops, and teachers of cante, baile and toce in many parts of Japan. If you ever plan to visit Tokyo, please contact me!
Please send some Japaneses email addresses regarding flamenco in Japan, even in Japanese. It will be quite eye-opening as there are so many fans over there.
Didnt you tell us that you live in Japan? You must be able to understand japanese.. Otherwise I cant imagine how you could be a help when someone wanna visit some flamenco-sights in japan. I know these japanese flamenco-journals with all the adresses. All these journals are written in japanese. How do you read it?
Oustide Spain , Japan has the biggest flamenco scene in the world.
Damn Doitsujin, i didnt know u speak japanese, i mean i saw the name but i tought it was just a name u picked to be smart, tell me about yourself man , where are you again ? whats your name and how come u speak japanese ?
I have never said that I come from Japan and I have never said that I could be of any help. It there are interesting sights, some of them might have been translated into English, or we can just look at the images of pictures. Please don't assume anything, if you do, there is a more than likely chance that you are wrong.
??hmmm.. Ok forget about it. Maybe I was too hard. Sorry for that.
I allways played and still play for japanese dancer. Its easyer to communicate and its fun to use. Where I am? tsts.. Im in a small damn country called germany which is so stupid that it doesnt stop selfdestructing. Its not a pleasure to be here.
the more surprising it is, that its the japan flamenco scene is not really "known"...
Oh but it is, it's very hot there; we just don't speak the lingo. They'll be all over the Jerez Festival and many are passionate dance students - though not many guitarists to my knowledge.
Local paper had a cartoon where they queued around the block at a restaurant advertising "huevos flamencos"

Ah ok, now I know what you mean. Sorry, when I hear flamenco scene, I always think of the guitar scene first I saw a documentary in which they showed enthusiastic japanese dance students. That might be true.
Sorry Doitsujin, you see, you helped open my eyes. I didn't realise that I'd signed in as Guest. I did write the last four messages, but I didn't start the thread.

Yeah I am too. I have been considering working abroad in Japan. I imagine most of it is in Tokyo? What's it like Romerito?
In the interview with chicuelo at Flamenco world, he talks about how the level is pretty low over there, and that there is a huge demand for guitarist. If you know the basics, there is a dancer ready to hire you. That interview is kind of old though.

Thats what i was thinking too, but i guess you maybe have got to learn japanese And a lot of japanese people seems to very dedicated so there are maybe a lot of good guitarists nowadays and the situation changed.
