Tamasaburo (Go Wikipedia.en ") acting geisha prostitute Akoya was really really wonderful. He danced, sung and played 3 instrumentals with Japanese style big band. Japanese harp Koto, Japanese guitar Shamisen and Chinese guitar Kokyu. As everybody admits, he is genius. Born to be Kabuki Oyama (actor of female roles).
I think he is the best actor in the world because I have never heard about Broadway star who can dance and sing as well as play three different type of instrumentals (piano, violin and base...!?).

I'm an American journalist who is in Japan on a Fulbright grant. I'm working on a possible book about silk kimonos. I'd be interested in interviewing you. Feel free to contact the Japan-U.S. Educational Commission to verify my credentials, or google my name, or look me up at writers.net. I'd be grateful if you could email me at robertmrand@yahoo.com.This is a legitimate request, not a joke, so I'd honestly value a response from you. Thanks very much for your consideration.
