Speaker 4 (02:35):
I met you on a jazz cruise when I.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
Was dating someone I won't talk about, but the owner
of jazkrse Lines, and one of the benefits of that
definitely what I what I I don't miss him so much.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
But I definitely miss the caliber of people that I
got to the happy union here and this is a problem.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Thank you for having me here.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
Absolutely, you are definitely a great example of the kind
of guest the I like to have, because not only
are you extremely talented and and in you know, I
was thinking about this driving in.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
It's one thing to be a musician.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
And and to and to be really really good at
art and craft and and to to express yourself through song.
You know, singing you have the benefit of the words,
so you're so you're actually expressing through words, and it
touches your heart. I love the fact that you can
(03:30):
make people cry with your music that has there are
no words. I mean you you get to just fly.
What what is it like to play? And I watch
you when you're playing, you are in your music. You
are You're immersed. It's like you're taking a bath in
(03:51):
your music. What does that feel like?
Speaker 7 (03:55):
When I hit the keys, I don't think anything about it,
just I become nothing and just concentration. And then I
feel that I'm the between, kind of like something above
and from the earth. I'm the between. So it is
(04:17):
very mystic progress and just without me thinking just I
express like everything is transported to my notes and enhanced
the body of the piano through the body of the piano,
and it's reflection like mirror, and it has my passion
(04:38):
and sometimes like happiness or everything. I mean, I don't
compose with the concept or I don't think about anything
when I compose, but somehow the result I.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Feel that my emotions experience everything is there.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
And even good thing or bad thing, happiness to sorrow
and many many elements of the emotion as a human being.
So I feel that, Wow, yeah, just so I become
nothing and dedicating everything from me.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Beautiful. Now, how old were you when you started playing
the keyboards? About five years old?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
And and was it your idea or your mom's my mom?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Of course, you know my mom.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Is a traditional Japanese dance teacher, so she wanted to
meet too.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
She's letal too, actually she had a strong woman.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
But she wanted me to take the dance lessons, but
I didn't show any interest. So she took committed piano lesson,
which is very common piano or like ballet and that
kind of thing. So she took me there and then
I loved it. And she never told me that the practice.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
She didn't have to tell you.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
The practice didn't have to I was a good child.
It sounds like you were a very good child. You
lived up to your name, right right right?
Speaker 7 (06:12):
Yeah, yeah, I think Mom, this Chinese character, okay, it's
very special bang and I loved it.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
That's under finding. That's wonderful. So a pece shout out
to mom. Thank you very much, Mom for encouraging her
to stay with her art. So you played from the
age of five, When did you start composing?
Speaker 7 (06:31):
Composing was like during elementary school era, so like taking diary,
writing diary. Instead of that, I started making a writing song,
very small, tiny thing. And when I saw beautiful nature
or some special event I had then as a memory,
(06:52):
I wrote, yeah, tiny songs beautiful.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Now, besides your mom, anyone else encourage you, like this
is what you need to do. You know, I tell
my listeners all the time. Every single person on the planet,
all seven point three billion of us, have a unique talent, gift,
and ability, And you know, it would be wonderful if
everybody was encouraged that way, but we're not. So it's
(07:17):
time for us to courage ourselves. But I always want
I'm curious, who encouraged people along the way to get to.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Where you are whoa.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
I met so many people, of course, but at the
beginning of my child era, I was interested in everything
and curious to everything, and that I never thought about
becoming professional musician.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
So I took piano lessons.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
But besides that, I was very active, like playing outside
and fighting against the bad boys.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
I'm fight for I still do that that so I
think I'm doing that, but we're going out, yes, So,
so lots of things I did chairman for the student community,
and also that I did it.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
I did a soccer game in football I took among
all boys, I was in the in the team, and
also many things. And at the same time I did
some composed composing for the musical at the elementary school
for my class to so.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
You follow my life model, which you don't die wondering, right,
you only live once, you know, and why can't we
do it all?
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (08:44):
So so nobody really forced to me, but some good
influence from my friend sometimes or my group and or
sometimes careiography teacher in the mountain. When I was living
in Hiroshima, okay I O date to draw the Japanese
with the brography. Yes, yes I did in the cruise
(09:07):
ship too. Oh but but why I was writing? I
just sit there for two three hours until my mom
came to me and you should go back and the
dinner time so that much. I just like the silence
from that era too beautiful.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
And if you're just tuned in and you're wondering who
my fabulous guest is today, it is the world renowned
keyboard number one in my mind, and I'm sure on
the billboard, uh a jazz composer and pianist and keyboardist.
You play an interesting guitarish keyboard that I saw at
(09:45):
the Long Beach Jazz Festival. Kiko Matsui, and she's here
to share just a little bit of the inside story
of her, you know, her music. And were you ever
did you ever think of not doing what you're doing?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
You ever discouraged or.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Because you know, traditionally they say artists to make a
living as an artist or a musician is not an
easy thing. So was there ever a time that you
thought maybe this wasn't for you? Or you always knew?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Actually actually until I really well, when I.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Well w had to start.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
My dad My dad was saying that I don't want
to keiko to do music to make living because he
knew it's hard. So but he was happy. He's already
in heaven, but he was happy. He is happy if
I'm happy. So they were really supportive. And maybe when
(10:48):
I started my career as Keiko Matsu and still I was,
I was thinking maybe someday I'm gonna stop because like
my mom, my mom was concentrating on as only mother
and the wife.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
And that era I was married. And when I had.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Baby, first baby, I was thinking maybe I want to
stay with baby all the time like my mom did.
So that right before the last show before the baby birth,
I didn't tell anyone, but I was performing and that
sold out show and I was thinking, oh, maybe this
(11:30):
is a US concert or something. And then after the show,
the ladies like you, I mean, a very energetic lady.
Three of them showed up to me and they said
just said.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Don't stop.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
And then another lady, older lady, she was in tears
and she hold my hand and thank you so much
for beautiful things.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
So and I was kind of shocked, Well they read
my mind and answer.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
Since then I felt, oh my gosh, I am so
fortunate to deave this music from the stage and surrounded
by these great fans, and I was thinking to quit,
and I really felt bad. And since then I feel well,
I'm healthy and I can trouble with music, and I
(12:26):
have a responsibility because I received the songs.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Yes, so I had to delivie.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
Since then I really started beeeing like, okay, I should
keep doing it.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Yes, yes, absolutely, Yeah, I'm getting a little teary because
exactly what she said, what you said about your dad
was exactly my dad. Ah really said the exact same thing.
You know, I was either go PhD or music because
I got made my way through grad school singing as
(12:57):
a lounge lizard. And a lot of peopeople don't know that.
But my dad flew from Canada and said, Darling, you've
always wanted a PhD. And it's you know you you're good,
but you're not that good, so you should probably you
can always come back to it.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
And he's in heaven now too. Another thing in oh,
any I know he's very happy.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
For me now, Yes, mine too, mine two yayay, yay.
They probably set this up. That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
I think they're here.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely so so what would you say some
major life events that shaped you and your music? So
milestones important you know, might might might have been well,
obviously the woman who came and grabbed her hand and
that's that's one. Any other milestones that you can share
(13:56):
with us to encourage us. Wow, do you ever get
nervous before you go on?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
No?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Like we did.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
We do prayer before the show, so we called a
hand and we're home like I Actually that was taught
by the uh Hugh Maseaca from South Africa when I
invited him to join our tour and he told us
it's called potogy in his words and maybe South African thing. Yes,
(14:30):
potogy and we home and pray, just put out mine
together and take breath and that was perfect. Since then
I'm doing that. But when I hit no, it's always
my I don't you know?
Speaker 9 (14:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (14:47):
Yeah, because you well you said, you know, we both
know that we're channels, right, that's that's that's our job, right,
or the flash light or the bridge or whatever that is.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Right.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
I think we're usician or doctor that we we we
have some role and I feel this is a mission. Yeah,
and we just deliver the light.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Yes, ye beautiful and you just got back from Tokyo
and I just got my own soigned copy you were
live in Tokyo. What were your favorite parts of that tour?
Speaker 7 (15:24):
Well, that was like my highlight of my highlight chapter
of my life.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Wow and milestone. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
And more than twenty five years I have been touring
all over the world with my music and this one
is has captured my most current, my energy, my look
and everything. And I invited to special guests Checklove and
coquetram with my family on the road my band. So
(15:56):
it was like end of Soul Quest World tour. So
this is one of my highlights. And at the same time,
when I finished this show, I felt okay, completed and
the next quest, Yes, next chapter I have to move on.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
Yeah, and what what is that gonna look like? Have
you have any ideas so far?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (16:20):
So that's why I'm putting together this acoustic band and
now I'm start really moving forward with them and touring,
start touring next year.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Yes, and you're kicking it off I think right this Friday. Yes,
So this Friday, Kiko and two.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Artists Carritos del Perto on bass acoustic bass and a
Jimmy Brownie The percussionist and a drummer. They are from Cuba,
uh huh, and amazing talent and they were sweet, beautiful.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
And we have a little clip that we're gonna play
so that we can highlight what's going to happen on Friday. Yeah,
(17:33):
all right, that was a lovely preview of what's going
to happen this Friday night. And I'm going to be
there and I want you to be there too. Yes,
this wonderful, wonderful concert. It's rare that Keiko actually does
a concert at home, so that's one of the one
of the draws. It's Friday night at the Aratani correct
(17:56):
Theater in Downtown n A, Downtown LA, eight pm, eight pm.
And I've been told that if you are a doctor
Marissa listener and in the local area, you're gonna have
to join me.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
I will be there and you can actually.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Get five dollars off if you use Doctor Marissa as
a promo code. So I expect all of my listeners
who are local to meet me Friday night on a date,
because I won't have one. You will be my date
and just join me for just an amazing evening of
acoustic jazz music and some improv some you know, we're
(18:36):
gonna watch how that music spirit comes through you.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Yes, and I of course there is my melodies, but
in different form and different energy, and every every time,
every moment we perform together, it's like miracle. Yes, we
experience so much emotions.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
Yes, I'm looking for to that. So the website to
go to if you want to purchase tickets, I think
the easiest one is ja CCC dot org. And if
you didn't get that, you can always google Keiko Matsui,
JACCC or the Aratani and you'll get there and then
(19:21):
just put in doctor Marisa in the promo code and
you'll get five dollars.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I think it's very reasonable. Orchestra tickets I think are.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Forty five dollars, I believe, so only forty dollars for
a concert with Keiko Matsui.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
You know, at the Long Beach Jazz Festival, it.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Was a whole lot more than that, but they're one
of my clients, so it's still like really really really affordable.
But it was just absolutely wonderful seeing you this summer,
and that's my birthday weekend. They they put on the
Jazz festival in Lombich just for my birthday every single year.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
That's going.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
And definitely a highlight going backstage and revisiting with you.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
So when you when you at what point?
Speaker 6 (20:09):
And this is one of the reasons I don't usually
have musicians on because it's talk radio, but I wanted
you on because you are a musician who uses her
music to bring awareness to different areas of pain around
the planet to help heal it with your consciousness with
(20:30):
the music and financial contributions or highlighting that. So when
did that become? You know, I have to do that
because not all musicians do that. I think that many musicians,
you know, they want to they want to make a
lot of money, and you know, now it's becoming more
(20:50):
popular to actually have a cause. But I love the
fact that you were doing this a long time. Tell
me how did that?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
What happened? If very naturally that happened?
Speaker 7 (21:02):
And because of what I was performing from the stage,
and uh, several organ organizations approach to my record label.
That was management that was first, and I think the
first one was like breast cancer awareness and uh, when
I because I felt that I'm healthy and the mother
(21:25):
of two girls and traveling with music and so I
just want to give something back through the music.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
And I was thinking that, you know, and hold on
one second. I have two girls too, Oh my gosh,
weird like weird. I know. I know because somebody said
when they saw a picture of you and I that
they thought we looked like sisters.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
And now it's like like weird.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
So we are so made and maybe we were twins
maybe in the another and the planet older.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Your girls they are over twenty, okay, yeah, little minor
sixteen and eighteen. Little one is twenty now, okay, so
not too much further.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Okay, okay, I interrupted you, but I just had to
say that.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
It's like getting weirder. Yeah, oh my god, I know,
my fingers are tingling. Yeah, okay. So they approached you
the record label.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
Yes, so, and the first one was about breast cancer.
And when I learned about the more statists and when
I feel that really I can deliver music and we
reach to something, so I accepted that.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Opportunity.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Yes, and I made a little mini album and I
spoke about how much it's front of doctor, I'm sorry,
how much.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Did the ARI detection detection our take up is important? Yes,
so that kind of thing.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
And also I lost my elementary school friend and she
was thirty and because of the breast cancer. So I
felt lots of reasons, so I started doing that. Then
since then, whenever I had something special codes and I
feel really okay, this is important, then I dedicated to
(23:25):
my music. Sometimes they dedicated my song for the charity
or de Deutur for awareness, and many many things happened.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Yes, And when I was doing my research, found another
synchronous connection. So you did one for the astronauts that
were lost in the Challenger. And the guy that you
did the concert with who put words to your Drop
of Water is actually someone I've never met him, but
(23:58):
he's very big in my spiritual community and a god by.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Carlin and Karl Anderson.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
Yes, yes, he is great spirit and human being and
he's there up there with that with that, yes, and
uh actually that was great meeting him. That was my
first album, the title truck A Drop of Water, and
(24:26):
I really, I reallycist Jeff Day and he's up there
already too. But the way he put together was the
words lyrics includes very spiritual, like looking the Earth from
the universe. And when Carl Anderson sang sang that song,
(24:47):
he dedicated to doctor Ron McNair. Yes, he was one
of the astronauts, right, yeah, yeah, that was very deep.
Spechual became great songs and very it's here and he
helped this recording too.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
And oh, I didn't know that. I mean, there's another
to be supporting my carrier for a whole your whole career.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Yes, wow, that's beautiful. Yes, you can't see him, he's
not on camera. You didn't want to be on camera.
But but in Chinese for the work that you do
supporting Keiko Derek and in Japanese that's the only Japanese,
it's great. Yeah, that's a beautiful thing. So and you
(25:31):
also did some work, uh with the tsunami.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Tsunami, yes, right, the one in Yes, Tohoku we had
a tragedy by tsunami, and also radiation program in Shima.
And right after that, I felt that I want to
dedicate some something. Then I received the song called Uh.
I received the melodies and I named it called Carrie,
(25:59):
and sometimes is to the soul who departed this earth
and to the soul who stayed on this earth and
supporting each other. Beautiful and so I made that and
that was March eleventh, and actually one more kind of
impression in a big memory in my life was nine
(26:21):
after nine eleven.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Yes, and.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Actually the artist, the Cause and the Stage radio station
did a big, big prayer event at the Staples in
La and that day I flew from Japan for just
only one show. And then Steve Wander was there, patiosting.
Everybody was there, and we told we hold hands and
(26:48):
we don't want to see each other like this code,
but at least we can dedicate music. So we did
that and very powerful, and I dedicated my song deep
Blue as a and then I flew back to Japan
next day for my girl little one had an examination
(27:09):
for the elementary school and the like interview important interview
with the parents, so I flew back there. But that
was very special. And then when oh sorry, long story.
When so when we had much eleventh, the artists contacted me,
(27:31):
so you gave us the prayer and the music for
the ninety eleven and this is the time we want
to do for you your country. So they again they
invited me for that special event they did in La
for Japan, and it was really exchange over the energy
and love, and of course so it was sad, sad, happening, Yes,
(27:59):
but still those events made us to think about how
to live and what's important and all these things, yes,
as to remind and what's important.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
Yes, absolutely, I you know, tragedy is painful. But the
beauty in tragedy is it brings it breaks our heart
open to love more and to create more and to
be more. And and it's not that we want tragedy,
but what happened in Paris happened.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
What's happening all around the world. If we can.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
See those events as as important break open events, that
we become more and we become more loving and more
compassionate and more at peace and a.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
We should to think about.

Speaker 4 (32:05):
We are back. You are tuned in to take my advice.
I'm not using it.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
Get Balanced with Doctor Marisa every Tuesday at naturally high noon,
that is today live with Universal Broadcasting Network out of
the Sunset Cower Studios and then on my syndicated CNBC
News Radio channel casey AA Thursdays at seven pm and
Saturdays at eleven Pacific Standard time on AM ten fifty
(32:30):
and now FM one oh six point five. And we
have Keiko Matsui, the world renowned keyboardist. And I want
to go a little bit different now since we've talked
about peace, love, joy and artistry and talk about heritage
and talk about differences. Wasn't planning on talking about this,
but since we're both Asian. In case you thought I
(32:54):
was Swedish, I know I have a little bit of blonde,
but I'm actually Chinese with a dash of Mongolian.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Keiko, you were born in.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
Japan and I did read as I was researching. You know,
you were the number one Japanese performer. You broke records,
you know, the first Japanese this and the first Japanese
that yes on billboard and other things, and to win
certain awards.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Did you ever did you ever.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
Wish that you weren't like you were? Just said that
you were a great artist and not had the word
Japanese in front of it.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
I don't know, you know what I'm talking about, right,
So so I mean because I'm that way right like
Mare Grovo.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
Right, Yeah, you want to be why why say that,
you know, the first black artist or the first rarely
do they say white, but you know that whole thing
around diversity, and and you know, we've been talking about
plan patriotism instead of country patriotism, because when we keep saying,
you know, US is the best, my country is better
(34:07):
than yours, we get into trouble, right, right, So so
just your take on that, well, well it wasn't one
of the questions I prepared you with.
Speaker 7 (34:20):
But but where did you start? Well, because from my experience,
I want more. I get to know about myself being
in different countries and like sometimes I was in Siberia, Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Poland,
(34:43):
Azervaisian all these different countries or South Africa, and then
more and more I know about myself and I discovered
more love towards Japan at the same time I discovered
myself how I am Japanese spiritually, very related to animism,
(35:03):
which is Japanese kind of believe in everything has a soul,
spirits like this desk or a keyboard. We cannot feed
on the keyboard, that kind of thing, okay, but that
kind of respect and a special special things inside of me.
But at the same time I feel that I don't
(35:30):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
How to say it in Japanese.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
I I feel yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:39):
I mean, when I'm a stroing in Russia with the
Ukrainian manager who whose parents is Russian and Ukrainian, and
also my band is from Holland and America or Brazil,
then for me, there's no borders and really just really
(36:00):
living human being.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
On this earth.
Speaker 7 (36:04):
So that's why I think some certain way of business
was some certain people need to categorize, right genre or
the nationalism or realism they want to do, they want
to name it, but for me, it doesn't matter, right.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Yeah, And if we.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
If we take out that yes kind of thing, then
I think we can bring more peace.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Yes, I think so.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
So so there's the solution, you know with with my
question after that was how do we get the world peace?
So yes, so you just answered that if we can focus,
if I can paraphrase here, so thank you. Well you
speak better Japanese than me. Yes, And and there's one
(36:57):
of the things you know, we live in the country
has such low tolerance for anything that isn't like us,
and we don't get to world peace when we don't
like anything that's different. The way we get to world
peace is to look for that which binds us, which
(37:17):
is what you were just talking about, not that which
separates us.
Speaker 11 (37:22):
Right.
Speaker 6 (37:22):
Music is a great example of something that binds us,
transcends all borders, transcends all differences. Which is why I'm
going to start having more musicians, because I think you
guys get it. Musicians understand what it takes to come together.
(37:44):
You transcend the differences through a common language.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
And that common.
Speaker 7 (37:50):
Language, I think musicians are so lucky because we can experience.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
Yeah firsthand and very intimately. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
Yeah, And I'm grateful for the example, and I'm grateful
that I get to dabble it.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
In a little of it as well.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
Yeah, so you you wanted to show a couple of
other of your albums, So this one. What's your favorite
song on her? Let's see, you've got secret pond. Let
me see which one's? Awakening is my favorite on this album?
So how did awakening? That's a great word.
Speaker 7 (38:26):
Yeah, lots of behind the story. Before this album was born,
I had many hardship and I started restart thinking like
how to live and how how I want to live?
And then I found that you are a producer of
your life and whole life.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Yeah, and you had the creator of that your life. Yeah,
so that's why. And do you also study Abraham Abraham
Ricks abrahams because that's we create our own reality.
Speaker 6 (39:01):
I was just I was scared that was going to
be another synchronous no.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
No, okay, but that's it. But by awakening, I just
discovered those words.
Speaker 7 (39:11):
And I named the title the road dot dot dot
that the road because our road continues even on these
urs or another planet. Just the we are the creator
and you are the producer of your life.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
So that's important. And don't let.
Speaker 6 (39:29):
Any circumstances get in the way of that creation, no
matter what the hardship was.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (39:37):
I just wrote about this in my Live Love Left Learn,
I swear, I just I was just inspired to do it.
Usually it takes me a little while to get going.
And on Thanksgiving Sunday night, I said, you know what,
I just got this inspiration to write about it, and
I wrote about pain and the and the and the
(39:58):
the value of pain in our lif lives to expand
us open.
Speaker 7 (40:04):
I actually I wrote the.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Song for me about that.
Speaker 7 (40:09):
I wrote about the peace and the universe and the
God didn't make us and the nature. Uh no, no,
they God and the universe made this beautiful earth. And
as human being to ask to cherish that, the love
and the light and it.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
Is the environment.
Speaker 7 (40:31):
So we have to live for that and we have
to focus that I wrote that you did.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
Oh my god, there you go. There you go another dovetail.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
Yeah, yeah, it's and it's interesting. I actually had you know, uh, Rickleberry.
Have you ever heard of Rickleberry. He's the guy the
dolphin activist. He was on my show saving the dolphins
that were being slaughtered in Taichi in Japan. You know
about that, right, yeah, So so that he's absolutely singing
(41:04):
your song because his uh whole message is what are
we doing to who we live with on the planet,
so not just dolphins. And I love the fact that
I think we're finally waking up on the planet to
this understanding this is our home right and our job
is to leave this planet a little better than we
(41:27):
found it.
Speaker 7 (41:28):
Yes, and this is we see uh, sad things on
this planet. But now I think this is good time
to us to awakening and that to let other people
to feel this. Yes, so it is I think great era.
Speaker 6 (41:43):
Isn't it a great era? I think I feel that too.
That's why we're here, that we picked this time.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
It's a gay me too.
Speaker 12 (41:59):
I know.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
I love the way my show. I get like best
friends from this show, right, Don Wells.
Speaker 6 (42:05):
Marianne from Gilligan's Island is now a friend of mine, will.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
Have to introduce you. She loves your music too. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's great. So we're almost out of time. Let me
see what questions.
Speaker 6 (42:18):
I think I only asked you like three questions out
of the fifteen that I was gonna ask you. Thank you, Yes,
I know, thank you so much of that. So what
advice would you give to anyone who would like to
become a musician? So I have a lot of clients
who say, I've always wanted to learn the piano, you know,
(42:39):
but it's too late, And I say, it's never too late.
You can always learn. But people who are aspiring. I
have a lot of listeners who who are musicians and
they want to be a musician. What advice would you
give them?
Speaker 7 (42:52):
Well, of course, the basic practice is important, but I
think more than that, I think you you if you
found your uniqueness or your passion towards something and just
keep holding that and belief and yeah, that's important. And
(43:21):
of course there are so many people surround you. But
I think I mean, I was telling myself too now
I can say that. But but but there you have
the freedom of the choice. Yes, so just listen to
your inner self and uh just yeah, with your instincts.
(43:42):
I think you will select the best of best as
the best. And just to dedicate from the soul. I
really really want to put my soul for every note
and some some you know, the one promoter in Europe,
he wrote me a letter after my performance over there
(44:04):
and he said, musician plays music, but draw the art.
Speaker 4 (44:11):
So I was what beautiful?
Speaker 7 (44:15):
So it was beautiful and I thank him to vote
that word yes, and I was so honored.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
Yeah, received that word.
Speaker 9 (44:24):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (44:25):
Well, then I'm going to say something that I didn't
say at the top of the show. When I listen
to your music, I am transported to a place of creativity,
of piece, of love, of fun, and of mastery. Oh
that's what happens when I listen to your music. Then
I'm writing, I put on on Pandora keiko matsui, and

Actually?
Speaker 7 (45:18):
I booked the show and I knew I was going

Then I was.
Speaker 7 (45:25):
I went to Japan for just a few days, a
few days or something, and my friend Bob James the
concert I went to as a friend, and then I
saw Carritos on the stage and I just loved his son.
So after the show, I went backstage and please give

Speaker 6 (45:44):
First time I asked, First time you asked the guy
for their phone number.
Speaker 7 (45:50):

invite the taste.

of jazkrse Lines, and one of the benefits of that
definitely what I what I I don't miss him so much.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
But I definitely miss the caliber of people that I
got to the happy union here and this is a problem.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Thank you for having me here.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
Absolutely, you are definitely a great example of the kind
of guest the I like to have, because not only
are you extremely talented and and in you know, I
was thinking about this driving in.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
It's one thing to be a musician.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
And and to and to be really really good at
art and craft and and to to express yourself through song.
You know, singing you have the benefit of the words,
so you're so you're actually expressing through words, and it
touches your heart. I love the fact that you can
(03:30):
make people cry with your music that has there are
no words. I mean you you get to just fly.
What what is it like to play? And I watch
you when you're playing, you are in your music. You
are You're immersed. It's like you're taking a bath in
(03:51):
your music. What does that feel like?
Speaker 7 (03:55):
When I hit the keys, I don't think anything about it,
just I become nothing and just concentration. And then I
feel that I'm the between, kind of like something above
and from the earth. I'm the between. So it is
(04:17):
very mystic progress and just without me thinking just I
express like everything is transported to my notes and enhanced
the body of the piano through the body of the piano,
and it's reflection like mirror, and it has my passion
(04:38):
and sometimes like happiness or everything. I mean, I don't
compose with the concept or I don't think about anything
when I compose, but somehow the result I.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Feel that my emotions experience everything is there.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
And even good thing or bad thing, happiness to sorrow
and many many elements of the emotion as a human being.
So I feel that, Wow, yeah, just so I become
nothing and dedicating everything from me.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Beautiful. Now, how old were you when you started playing
the keyboards? About five years old?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
And and was it your idea or your mom's my mom?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Of course, you know my mom.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Is a traditional Japanese dance teacher, so she wanted to
meet too.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
She's letal too, actually she had a strong woman.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
But she wanted me to take the dance lessons, but
I didn't show any interest. So she took committed piano lesson,
which is very common piano or like ballet and that
kind of thing. So she took me there and then
I loved it. And she never told me that the practice.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
She didn't have to tell you.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
The practice didn't have to I was a good child.
It sounds like you were a very good child. You
lived up to your name, right right right?
Speaker 7 (06:12):
Yeah, yeah, I think Mom, this Chinese character, okay, it's
very special bang and I loved it.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
That's under finding. That's wonderful. So a pece shout out
to mom. Thank you very much, Mom for encouraging her
to stay with her art. So you played from the
age of five, When did you start composing?
Speaker 7 (06:31):
Composing was like during elementary school era, so like taking diary,
writing diary. Instead of that, I started making a writing song,
very small, tiny thing. And when I saw beautiful nature
or some special event I had then as a memory,
(06:52):
I wrote, yeah, tiny songs beautiful.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Now, besides your mom, anyone else encourage you, like this
is what you need to do. You know, I tell
my listeners all the time. Every single person on the planet,
all seven point three billion of us, have a unique talent, gift,
and ability, And you know, it would be wonderful if
everybody was encouraged that way, but we're not. So it's
(07:17):
time for us to courage ourselves. But I always want
I'm curious, who encouraged people along the way to get to.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Where you are whoa.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
I met so many people, of course, but at the
beginning of my child era, I was interested in everything
and curious to everything, and that I never thought about
becoming professional musician.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
So I took piano lessons.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
But besides that, I was very active, like playing outside
and fighting against the bad boys.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
I'm fight for I still do that that so I
think I'm doing that, but we're going out, yes, So,
so lots of things I did chairman for the student community,
and also that I did it.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
I did a soccer game in football I took among
all boys, I was in the in the team, and
also many things. And at the same time I did
some composed composing for the musical at the elementary school
for my class to so.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
You follow my life model, which you don't die wondering, right,
you only live once, you know, and why can't we
do it all?
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (08:44):
So so nobody really forced to me, but some good
influence from my friend sometimes or my group and or
sometimes careiography teacher in the mountain. When I was living
in Hiroshima, okay I O date to draw the Japanese
with the brography. Yes, yes I did in the cruise
(09:07):
ship too. Oh but but why I was writing? I
just sit there for two three hours until my mom
came to me and you should go back and the
dinner time so that much. I just like the silence
from that era too beautiful.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
And if you're just tuned in and you're wondering who
my fabulous guest is today, it is the world renowned
keyboard number one in my mind, and I'm sure on
the billboard, uh a jazz composer and pianist and keyboardist.
You play an interesting guitarish keyboard that I saw at
(09:45):
the Long Beach Jazz Festival. Kiko Matsui, and she's here
to share just a little bit of the inside story
of her, you know, her music. And were you ever
did you ever think of not doing what you're doing?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
You ever discouraged or.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Because you know, traditionally they say artists to make a
living as an artist or a musician is not an
easy thing. So was there ever a time that you
thought maybe this wasn't for you? Or you always knew?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Actually actually until I really well, when I.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Well w had to start.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
My dad My dad was saying that I don't want
to keiko to do music to make living because he
knew it's hard. So but he was happy. He's already
in heaven, but he was happy. He is happy if
I'm happy. So they were really supportive. And maybe when
(10:48):
I started my career as Keiko Matsu and still I was,
I was thinking maybe someday I'm gonna stop because like
my mom, my mom was concentrating on as only mother
and the wife.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
And that era I was married. And when I had.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Baby, first baby, I was thinking maybe I want to
stay with baby all the time like my mom did.
So that right before the last show before the baby birth,
I didn't tell anyone, but I was performing and that
sold out show and I was thinking, oh, maybe this
(11:30):
is a US concert or something. And then after the show,
the ladies like you, I mean, a very energetic lady.
Three of them showed up to me and they said
just said.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Don't stop.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
And then another lady, older lady, she was in tears
and she hold my hand and thank you so much
for beautiful things.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
So and I was kind of shocked, Well they read
my mind and answer.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
Since then I felt, oh my gosh, I am so
fortunate to deave this music from the stage and surrounded
by these great fans, and I was thinking to quit,
and I really felt bad. And since then I feel well,
I'm healthy and I can trouble with music, and I
(12:26):
have a responsibility because I received the songs.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Yes, so I had to delivie.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
Since then I really started beeeing like, okay, I should
keep doing it.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Yes, yes, absolutely, Yeah, I'm getting a little teary because
exactly what she said, what you said about your dad
was exactly my dad. Ah really said the exact same thing.
You know, I was either go PhD or music because
I got made my way through grad school singing as
(12:57):
a lounge lizard. And a lot of peopeople don't know that.
But my dad flew from Canada and said, Darling, you've
always wanted a PhD. And it's you know you you're good,
but you're not that good, so you should probably you
can always come back to it.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
And he's in heaven now too. Another thing in oh,
any I know he's very happy.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
For me now, Yes, mine too, mine two yayay, yay.
They probably set this up. That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
I think they're here.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely so so what would you say some
major life events that shaped you and your music? So
milestones important you know, might might might have been well,
obviously the woman who came and grabbed her hand and
that's that's one. Any other milestones that you can share
(13:56):
with us to encourage us. Wow, do you ever get
nervous before you go on?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
No?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Like we did.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
We do prayer before the show, so we called a
hand and we're home like I Actually that was taught
by the uh Hugh Maseaca from South Africa when I
invited him to join our tour and he told us
it's called potogy in his words and maybe South African thing. Yes,
(14:30):
potogy and we home and pray, just put out mine
together and take breath and that was perfect. Since then
I'm doing that. But when I hit no, it's always
my I don't you know?
Speaker 9 (14:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (14:47):
Yeah, because you well you said, you know, we both
know that we're channels, right, that's that's that's our job, right,
or the flash light or the bridge or whatever that is.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Right.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
I think we're usician or doctor that we we we
have some role and I feel this is a mission. Yeah,
and we just deliver the light.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Yes, ye beautiful and you just got back from Tokyo
and I just got my own soigned copy you were
live in Tokyo. What were your favorite parts of that tour?
Speaker 7 (15:24):
Well, that was like my highlight of my highlight chapter
of my life.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Wow and milestone. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
And more than twenty five years I have been touring
all over the world with my music and this one
is has captured my most current, my energy, my look
and everything. And I invited to special guests Checklove and
coquetram with my family on the road my band. So
(15:56):
it was like end of Soul Quest World tour. So
this is one of my highlights. And at the same time,
when I finished this show, I felt okay, completed and
the next quest, Yes, next chapter I have to move on.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
Yeah, and what what is that gonna look like? Have
you have any ideas so far?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (16:20):
So that's why I'm putting together this acoustic band and
now I'm start really moving forward with them and touring,
start touring next year.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Yes, and you're kicking it off I think right this Friday. Yes,
So this Friday, Kiko and two.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Artists Carritos del Perto on bass acoustic bass and a
Jimmy Brownie The percussionist and a drummer. They are from Cuba,
uh huh, and amazing talent and they were sweet, beautiful.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
And we have a little clip that we're gonna play
so that we can highlight what's going to happen on Friday. Yeah,
(17:33):
all right, that was a lovely preview of what's going
to happen this Friday night. And I'm going to be
there and I want you to be there too. Yes,
this wonderful, wonderful concert. It's rare that Keiko actually does
a concert at home, so that's one of the one
of the draws. It's Friday night at the Aratani correct
(17:56):
Theater in Downtown n A, Downtown LA, eight pm, eight pm.
And I've been told that if you are a doctor
Marissa listener and in the local area, you're gonna have
to join me.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
I will be there and you can actually.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Get five dollars off if you use Doctor Marissa as
a promo code. So I expect all of my listeners
who are local to meet me Friday night on a date,
because I won't have one. You will be my date
and just join me for just an amazing evening of
acoustic jazz music and some improv some you know, we're
(18:36):
gonna watch how that music spirit comes through you.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Yes, and I of course there is my melodies, but
in different form and different energy, and every every time,
every moment we perform together, it's like miracle. Yes, we
experience so much emotions.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
Yes, I'm looking for to that. So the website to
go to if you want to purchase tickets, I think
the easiest one is ja CCC dot org. And if
you didn't get that, you can always google Keiko Matsui,
JACCC or the Aratani and you'll get there and then
(19:21):
just put in doctor Marisa in the promo code and
you'll get five dollars.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I think it's very reasonable. Orchestra tickets I think are.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Forty five dollars, I believe, so only forty dollars for
a concert with Keiko Matsui.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
You know, at the Long Beach Jazz Festival, it.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Was a whole lot more than that, but they're one
of my clients, so it's still like really really really affordable.
But it was just absolutely wonderful seeing you this summer,
and that's my birthday weekend. They they put on the
Jazz festival in Lombich just for my birthday every single year.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
That's going.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
And definitely a highlight going backstage and revisiting with you.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
So when you when you at what point?
Speaker 6 (20:09):
And this is one of the reasons I don't usually
have musicians on because it's talk radio, but I wanted
you on because you are a musician who uses her
music to bring awareness to different areas of pain around
the planet to help heal it with your consciousness with
(20:30):
the music and financial contributions or highlighting that. So when
did that become? You know, I have to do that
because not all musicians do that. I think that many musicians,
you know, they want to they want to make a
lot of money, and you know, now it's becoming more
(20:50):
popular to actually have a cause. But I love the
fact that you were doing this a long time. Tell
me how did that?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
What happened? If very naturally that happened?
Speaker 7 (21:02):
And because of what I was performing from the stage,
and uh, several organ organizations approach to my record label.
That was management that was first, and I think the
first one was like breast cancer awareness and uh, when
I because I felt that I'm healthy and the mother
(21:25):
of two girls and traveling with music and so I
just want to give something back through the music.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
And I was thinking that, you know, and hold on
one second. I have two girls too, Oh my gosh,
weird like weird. I know. I know because somebody said
when they saw a picture of you and I that
they thought we looked like sisters.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
And now it's like like weird.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
So we are so made and maybe we were twins
maybe in the another and the planet older.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Your girls they are over twenty, okay, yeah, little minor
sixteen and eighteen. Little one is twenty now, okay, so
not too much further.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Okay, okay, I interrupted you, but I just had to
say that.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
It's like getting weirder. Yeah, oh my god, I know,
my fingers are tingling. Yeah, okay. So they approached you
the record label.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
Yes, so, and the first one was about breast cancer.
And when I learned about the more statists and when
I feel that really I can deliver music and we
reach to something, so I accepted that.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Opportunity.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Yes, and I made a little mini album and I
spoke about how much it's front of doctor, I'm sorry,
how much.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Did the ARI detection detection our take up is important? Yes,
so that kind of thing.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
And also I lost my elementary school friend and she
was thirty and because of the breast cancer. So I
felt lots of reasons, so I started doing that. Then
since then, whenever I had something special codes and I
feel really okay, this is important, then I dedicated to
(23:25):
my music. Sometimes they dedicated my song for the charity
or de Deutur for awareness, and many many things happened.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Yes, And when I was doing my research, found another
synchronous connection. So you did one for the astronauts that
were lost in the Challenger. And the guy that you
did the concert with who put words to your Drop
of Water is actually someone I've never met him, but
(23:58):
he's very big in my spiritual community and a god by.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Carlin and Karl Anderson.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
Yes, yes, he is great spirit and human being and
he's there up there with that with that, yes, and
uh actually that was great meeting him. That was my
first album, the title truck A Drop of Water, and
(24:26):
I really, I reallycist Jeff Day and he's up there
already too. But the way he put together was the
words lyrics includes very spiritual, like looking the Earth from
the universe. And when Carl Anderson sang sang that song,
(24:47):
he dedicated to doctor Ron McNair. Yes, he was one
of the astronauts, right, yeah, yeah, that was very deep.
Spechual became great songs and very it's here and he
helped this recording too.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
And oh, I didn't know that. I mean, there's another
to be supporting my carrier for a whole your whole career.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Yes, wow, that's beautiful. Yes, you can't see him, he's
not on camera. You didn't want to be on camera.
But but in Chinese for the work that you do
supporting Keiko Derek and in Japanese that's the only Japanese,
it's great. Yeah, that's a beautiful thing. So and you
(25:31):
also did some work, uh with the tsunami.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Tsunami, yes, right, the one in Yes, Tohoku we had
a tragedy by tsunami, and also radiation program in Shima.
And right after that, I felt that I want to
dedicate some something. Then I received the song called Uh.
I received the melodies and I named it called Carrie,
(25:59):
and sometimes is to the soul who departed this earth
and to the soul who stayed on this earth and
supporting each other. Beautiful and so I made that and
that was March eleventh, and actually one more kind of
impression in a big memory in my life was nine
(26:21):
after nine eleven.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Yes, and.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Actually the artist, the Cause and the Stage radio station
did a big, big prayer event at the Staples in
La and that day I flew from Japan for just
only one show. And then Steve Wander was there, patiosting.
Everybody was there, and we told we hold hands and
(26:48):
we don't want to see each other like this code,
but at least we can dedicate music. So we did
that and very powerful, and I dedicated my song deep
Blue as a and then I flew back to Japan
next day for my girl little one had an examination
(27:09):
for the elementary school and the like interview important interview
with the parents, so I flew back there. But that
was very special. And then when oh sorry, long story.
When so when we had much eleventh, the artists contacted me,
(27:31):
so you gave us the prayer and the music for
the ninety eleven and this is the time we want
to do for you your country. So they again they
invited me for that special event they did in La
for Japan, and it was really exchange over the energy
and love, and of course so it was sad, sad, happening, Yes,
(27:59):
but still those events made us to think about how
to live and what's important and all these things, yes,
as to remind and what's important.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
Yes, absolutely, I you know, tragedy is painful. But the
beauty in tragedy is it brings it breaks our heart
open to love more and to create more and to
be more. And and it's not that we want tragedy,
but what happened in Paris happened.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
What's happening all around the world. If we can.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
See those events as as important break open events, that
we become more and we become more loving and more
compassionate and more at peace and a.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
We should to think about.
Speaker 7 (28:52):
We are just want, yes, all connected, just life via
human being.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Does she sound familiar? She sounds like somebody I know.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
Yes, which is why I'm giving you Doctor Marissa's Beneficial
Presence on the Planet Award. Oh give it to all,
I guess, but you absolutely deserve it. Thank you. I

the Sunset Cower Studios and then on my syndicated CNBC
News Radio channel casey AA Thursdays at seven pm and
Saturdays at eleven Pacific Standard time on AM ten fifty
(32:30):
and now FM one oh six point five. And we
have Keiko Matsui, the world renowned keyboardist. And I want
to go a little bit different now since we've talked
about peace, love, joy and artistry and talk about heritage
and talk about differences. Wasn't planning on talking about this,
but since we're both Asian. In case you thought I
(32:54):
was Swedish, I know I have a little bit of blonde,
but I'm actually Chinese with a dash of Mongolian.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Keiko, you were born in.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
Japan and I did read as I was researching. You know,
you were the number one Japanese performer. You broke records,
you know, the first Japanese this and the first Japanese
that yes on billboard and other things, and to win
certain awards.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Did you ever did you ever.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
Wish that you weren't like you were? Just said that
you were a great artist and not had the word
Japanese in front of it.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
I don't know, you know what I'm talking about, right,
So so I mean because I'm that way right like
Mare Grovo.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
Right, Yeah, you want to be why why say that,
you know, the first black artist or the first rarely
do they say white, but you know that whole thing
around diversity, and and you know, we've been talking about
plan patriotism instead of country patriotism, because when we keep saying,
you know, US is the best, my country is better
(34:07):
than yours, we get into trouble, right, right, So so
just your take on that, well, well it wasn't one
of the questions I prepared you with.
Speaker 7 (34:20):
But but where did you start? Well, because from my experience,
I want more. I get to know about myself being
in different countries and like sometimes I was in Siberia, Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Poland,
(34:43):
Azervaisian all these different countries or South Africa, and then
more and more I know about myself and I discovered
more love towards Japan at the same time I discovered
myself how I am Japanese spiritually, very related to animism,
(35:03):
which is Japanese kind of believe in everything has a soul,
spirits like this desk or a keyboard. We cannot feed
on the keyboard, that kind of thing, okay, but that
kind of respect and a special special things inside of me.
But at the same time I feel that I don't
(35:30):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
How to say it in Japanese.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
I I feel yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:39):
I mean, when I'm a stroing in Russia with the
Ukrainian manager who whose parents is Russian and Ukrainian, and
also my band is from Holland and America or Brazil,
then for me, there's no borders and really just really
(36:00):
living human being.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
On this earth.
Speaker 7 (36:04):
So that's why I think some certain way of business
was some certain people need to categorize, right genre or
the nationalism or realism they want to do, they want
to name it, but for me, it doesn't matter, right.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Yeah, And if we.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
If we take out that yes kind of thing, then
I think we can bring more peace.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Yes, I think so.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
So so there's the solution, you know with with my
question after that was how do we get the world peace?
So yes, so you just answered that if we can focus,
if I can paraphrase here, so thank you. Well you
speak better Japanese than me. Yes, And and there's one
(36:57):
of the things you know, we live in the country
has such low tolerance for anything that isn't like us,
and we don't get to world peace when we don't
like anything that's different. The way we get to world
peace is to look for that which binds us, which
(37:17):
is what you were just talking about, not that which
separates us.
Speaker 11 (37:22):
Right.
Speaker 6 (37:22):
Music is a great example of something that binds us,
transcends all borders, transcends all differences. Which is why I'm
going to start having more musicians, because I think you
guys get it. Musicians understand what it takes to come together.
(37:44):
You transcend the differences through a common language.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
And that common.
Speaker 7 (37:50):
Language, I think musicians are so lucky because we can experience.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
Yeah firsthand and very intimately. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
Yeah, And I'm grateful for the example, and I'm grateful
that I get to dabble it.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
In a little of it as well.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
Yeah, so you you wanted to show a couple of
other of your albums, So this one. What's your favorite
song on her? Let's see, you've got secret pond. Let
me see which one's? Awakening is my favorite on this album?
So how did awakening? That's a great word.
Speaker 7 (38:26):
Yeah, lots of behind the story. Before this album was born,
I had many hardship and I started restart thinking like
how to live and how how I want to live?
And then I found that you are a producer of
your life and whole life.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Yeah, and you had the creator of that your life. Yeah,
so that's why. And do you also study Abraham Abraham
Ricks abrahams because that's we create our own reality.
Speaker 6 (39:01):
I was just I was scared that was going to
be another synchronous no.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
No, okay, but that's it. But by awakening, I just
discovered those words.
Speaker 7 (39:11):
And I named the title the road dot dot dot
that the road because our road continues even on these
urs or another planet. Just the we are the creator
and you are the producer of your life.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
So that's important. And don't let.
Speaker 6 (39:29):
Any circumstances get in the way of that creation, no
matter what the hardship was.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (39:37):
I just wrote about this in my Live Love Left Learn,
I swear, I just I was just inspired to do it.
Usually it takes me a little while to get going.
And on Thanksgiving Sunday night, I said, you know what,
I just got this inspiration to write about it, and
I wrote about pain and the and the and the
(39:58):
the value of pain in our lif lives to expand
us open.
Speaker 7 (40:04):
I actually I wrote the.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Song for me about that.
Speaker 7 (40:09):
I wrote about the peace and the universe and the
God didn't make us and the nature. Uh no, no,
they God and the universe made this beautiful earth. And
as human being to ask to cherish that, the love
and the light and it.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
Is the environment.
Speaker 7 (40:31):
So we have to live for that and we have
to focus that I wrote that you did.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
Oh my god, there you go. There you go another dovetail.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
Yeah, yeah, it's and it's interesting. I actually had you know, uh, Rickleberry.
Have you ever heard of Rickleberry. He's the guy the
dolphin activist. He was on my show saving the dolphins
that were being slaughtered in Taichi in Japan. You know
about that, right, yeah, So so that he's absolutely singing
(41:04):
your song because his uh whole message is what are
we doing to who we live with on the planet,
so not just dolphins. And I love the fact that
I think we're finally waking up on the planet to
this understanding this is our home right and our job
is to leave this planet a little better than we
(41:27):
found it.
Speaker 7 (41:28):
Yes, and this is we see uh, sad things on
this planet. But now I think this is good time
to us to awakening and that to let other people
to feel this. Yes, so it is I think great era.
Speaker 6 (41:43):
Isn't it a great era? I think I feel that too.
That's why we're here, that we picked this time.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
It's a gay me too.
Speaker 12 (41:59):
I know.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
I love the way my show. I get like best
friends from this show, right, Don Wells.
Speaker 6 (42:05):
Marianne from Gilligan's Island is now a friend of mine, will.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
Have to introduce you. She loves your music too. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's great. So we're almost out of time. Let me
see what questions.
Speaker 6 (42:18):
I think I only asked you like three questions out
of the fifteen that I was gonna ask you. Thank you, Yes,
I know, thank you so much of that. So what
advice would you give to anyone who would like to
become a musician? So I have a lot of clients
who say, I've always wanted to learn the piano, you know,
(42:39):
but it's too late, And I say, it's never too late.
You can always learn. But people who are aspiring. I
have a lot of listeners who who are musicians and
they want to be a musician. What advice would you
give them?
Speaker 7 (42:52):
Well, of course, the basic practice is important, but I
think more than that, I think you you if you
found your uniqueness or your passion towards something and just
keep holding that and belief and yeah, that's important. And
(43:21):
of course there are so many people surround you. But
I think I mean, I was telling myself too now
I can say that. But but but there you have
the freedom of the choice. Yes, so just listen to
your inner self and uh just yeah, with your instincts.
(43:42):
I think you will select the best of best as
the best. And just to dedicate from the soul. I
really really want to put my soul for every note
and some some you know, the one promoter in Europe,
he wrote me a letter after my performance over there
(44:04):
and he said, musician plays music, but draw the art.
Speaker 4 (44:11):
So I was what beautiful?
Speaker 7 (44:15):

that word yes, and I was so honored.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
