This video clip was featured on a 1966 Jimmy Dean episode. I had the privilege of meeting Jimmy Tokita when I moved to Japan in 1977. I hope my Japanese friends especially enjoy this.
I have a friend who's a bluegrass fiddler from Tokyo who lives in east TN and performs with her husband a banjo picker at different places around Bristol. They lived in Japan for a while and I got to see them at different venues in Tokyo and they were well-received. There's a venue in Tokyo called "Rocky Top" that is famous for hosting bluegrass performers from Japan and from the US. It's not huge like rock but bluegrass is a genuine niche.
Yes, there has been a small but loyal fan base for American music since the late 40's. I played then-modern country music in Japan when I lived there in the 70's and again in the 90's.

This is cool. Sent to my son in Tokyo.
The Japanese take their traditional Country and Bluegrass seriously. Lovely sincere people.

ベ-スに注目してた。 一瞬 いかりやさんが見えました。 間違いなし。寺内御岱若くてスリムな姿 確認。
I knew the Japanese have some great traditional jazz musicians, but I had no idea this went on!

I could sing better, a pinoy cowboy fr Felipinas😅
I always enjoyed the singers and bands from the Philippines when I lived in Japan. Some Awesome musicians and performers came to Japan on tour.
目をパチクリしてる方は?もしかして 当時の若き 寺内たけしさんでは? はて? イカリヤ御大は?
Terauchi and his band "Blue Jeans" performed many times at Yokota Air Base. Is he in the video?
