In case you’re wondering who the Tango-ing couple is on the image above, that’s the Japanese couple, Kyoko Yamao and Hiroshi Yamao, sharing a dance after winning first place in the Tango Salon competition during the VII Tango Dance World Championship in Buenos Aires on August 29, 2009.

It is a usual topic of conversation about the global impact of tango, to talk about the popularity that the 2×4 has in Japan. The numerous Japanese presence in Tango at Buenos Aires as dancers as well as spectators, attests to it. Journalist and producer, Gabriel Soria, talked about this and much more in his research material for his book to be called, “El tango en Japón.”

The official story of this romance goes that a member of Japanese royalty, the baron Tsunayoshi “Tsunami” Megata, returned to Tokyo after a stay in Paris with the tango virus in his blood. Decades after, during the Second World War, the prohibition of the diffusion of Jazz, consolidated the popularity of tango in the Far East.

A little bit of unusually-heard-of history. Anyone up for a Tango… roll, that is.

$9.25.

This is a free country! It belongs to those who value it most… to those who are engaged to defend it… or those who are determined to grab it! Who shall be the rightful inheritors? That is the challenge we all have to face sooner or later. May God preserve and guide us always. In the end may we have a republic as this country was intended to be: our voices well represented, our liberties intact, our taxes well spent, our self-governance lean and efficient, our personal properties and rights protected, and our beliefs sacred and mutually respected. — Toto Mortel

God Bless The USA!!

We’re excited to have Richard playing again here at Bushido this Friday night, October 5th, 2012.

We’ll have our drink specials and half-priced sushi menu on the ready!

We’ve also re-categorized the menu here on the website to match the physical menu that you’ll see in our locations

It will be used starting this Friday, September 28, 2012.

Hope you like it!

There was a possible gas leak coming from us or the Thai house next door.

From 11:00 am until after 1:00 pm, when we got our gas line turned back on, we could only do “traditional sushi” and no fried stuff. So for customers who thought we were on fire, not to worry! That was a harrowing experience from 10:00 in the morning!

We forgot to take pictures of the scene so here’s a pic of a couple of cool monster fire trucks we found on the internet

For our part, Richard is playing live at Bushido on Friday, the 24th, and he suggested we make that the day of the benefit. We agreed, and so we’re blogging about it this early. Maybe some of our most loyal followers and customers can show their support for Nick!

If you hadn’t heard, Nick Collins, a lifelong Charleston resident, good friend to so many, and a part of the band, Fowler’s Mustache, was severely injured in a car accident on 526 last week along with 2 other passengers. Due to the extent of Nick’s injuries, he has a considerable amount of time left in the hospital recovering, as well as many months of upcoming rehabilitation. Every day, the improvements Nick has made have been nothing short of a miracle and many continue to pray for more good news every day.

Here is the news video from ABC News 4 Charleston.

In her latest update, on Day 13, on Nick’s Caring Bridge Journal, Courtney Collins Oberly wrote:

Nick had a very good day today. The surgery was later in the afternoon so mom and dad got some time with Nicholas in his room. He is responding more and showing signs that he knows they are there.

The surgery was fast and easy on him with a miniscule amount of blood loss. Needless to say we knew something just was not right when we saw the surgeon come out so early in the process. The severe wound to the backside has taken its toll on Nicholas’ glute muscles and was determined to be beyond repair. The surgeon explained that without the support of the glute muscle he most likely will not be able to save any part of Nicholas’ left leg. The glute muscles are important for leg prosthetics, so without this muscle the chances of Nicholas being able to have a prosthetic leg is very small.

While there are options with skin grafts and using the upper leg muscle, the chances are still small and could affect his stabilization in the long run. Therefore we are faced the reality of Nick having to spend the rest of his life with one leg. Crutches will help him get around but his best form will be a wheelchair.

Please show your support for Nick! As in the past few Fridays, we’ll be doing a Google+ Hangouts On Air so we’ll be broadcasting it live. Richard Lorenzo starts his gig at 10pm.

If you can’t make it on that day, you can add us on Google+ to watch the broadcast. And if you’d like to donate money online for Nick and his family, you can do so through the family’s GoFundMe donation page.

He’s toured with Sequoyah Prep School, Mutemath, and Miniature Tigers — street cred right there.

Come see what he’s all about, when he performs LIVE at Bushido again this Friday, the 17th! Good times, drink specials, and half-priced sushi menu await!!

So he’s back for another gig this Friday, August 3, 2102.

Richard began his musical career at the age of fourteen. He plays solo.

Come listen to his original compilations, watch, and have fun! We’ll have our drink specials and half-priced sushi menu on the ready!

Starts 10pm.

[Update today, 8/3/2012] Prepping for a Google+ Hangout for tonight’s LIVE tunes from Richard Lorenzo. Add us if you’re on Google Plus!! –> http://goo.gl/jF7Zk

Country and bluegrass run rampant through this musician’s veins with a twist of rock and reggae to create melodies of only the purest acoustic sounds.

No effects, no pedals, and no one else but himself, Richard plays solo stage sets with a love of music to share with others.

A fun-flowing blend of original compilations and fun sing-a-long favorites, you’re invited to come out this Friday, July 20, and enjoy a drink or two from our drink specials, and savor items from our half-priced sushi menu, while singing along to songs you know and learning the words to those you don’t!

After touring with acts such as Sequoyah Prep School, Mutemath, and Miniature Tigers, Nathan is more than prepared to debut some new material at a much more personal authentic approach.

A Nashville blog, Awaiting the Flood, quotes:

Except for Nathan’s instantly recognizable voice, I may have been fooled into thinking I was listening to a well-established, signed artist. In any case, it’s clear that’s the direction this boy is heading. Anyone would be hard-pressed to deny the talent and intelligence he possesses.

Come see Nathan Merli perform, LIVE, at Bushido Japanese Restaurant this Friday the 13th! We’ll have drink specials and half-priced sushi menu to add to the fun!
