The delight of new discoveries.
Haru Nemuri is a Japanese singer-songwriter, poetry rapper.
“Inori Dake Ga Aru” (There is Nothing but Prayer), her current song, evokes the trapped confining feeling of this plague year.
Hatis Noit
I’m off to wander Japan, so today’s artist is avant-garde Hatis Noit.
She hails from Hokkaido but now lives in London.
Her name from Japanese folklore means the stem of a lotus flower, connecting the living world of the flower and the spirit world of the root.
On her new EP, Illogical Dance, she collaborated with electronic duo Matmos.

David Bowie
David Bowie, a personal inspiration, hero and friend.
I was fortunate to travel Japan with him in 1992 while he was in the conglomeration Tin Machine. His insight made the country even more special.
This photo is from my private collection. I snapped it during an intimate conversation in a hotel room in Tokyo.
David will live on forever. He is “Lazarus”.
