...ironic that the musician who has capitalized most on the predominantly Caucasian subculture of cool kids tripping out on Thai and Indian beaches would himself be Asian, but that's precisely what has happened. As soon as Tokyo-born Tsuyoshi Suzuki began riding the circuit of travel and partying between Tokyo, Goa and Koh Phangan, he realized he had found an alternative way of living, and, more importantly for hundreds of thousands of clubbers and millions of music fans who would come to know him by his nom de decks DJ Tsuyoshi, a dynamic and new approach to making music...
...Consider Tsuyoshi Yamaguchi, an independent Diet member elected in 2000 on a reformist platform. Instead of blasting his name from a noisy sound truck, he had shown a populist touch by riding a bicycle door-to-door soliciting votes.

But if boyish superstar Ichiro (he goes by his given name) and fellow emigrant Tsuyoshi Shinjo, a dashing slugger joining the New York Mets, both perform as advertised, the exodus will only accelerate. (American players have been part of the Japanese baseball equation for years but only in the form of minor leaguers, benchwarmers and aging stars. Never has an American of top status been...
...performance which Foss gave Monday night was one of great virtuosity; it was a well-rehearsed, tightly-run concert. The first work, Webern's Five Pieces for Cello and Piano. performed by Foss and cellist Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi, went well, for all of its three minute duration. It was played with a kind of tense crispness which made every note transparent, and was the most understandable piece on the program...
