People enjoyed "group sounds & folk" and original songs sung by 'The Human Jukebox' ! (3)


 At the second concert, he sang his original songs, including “Power Light,” “Sinbad,” ”Mesu no Okami”(Female wolf) and others. The audience was surprised, because Dr.Handa kicked things off with dozens of balloons dropping on them.

 He asked the audience, “We dropped balloons at the end of the concert the day before yesterday. You thought it would be the same today as well, didn’t you?”

 He mentioned Kiyoshiro Imawano, a rock singer who died in 2009 and inspired him. He said, “I didn’t know much about Kiyoshiro Imawano until the media covered his death at the age of 58. Then I listened to all his CDs and I thought how sorry he must have been to die so young and I wanted to make soungs for him. I made a few and realized that adding ‘wow, ’baby’ or ‘death’ would make any song into the Imawano style,” he said.

 At the end of the concert, he introduced the members of his band “Rock Tsuri Band,” an all-male group that always plays at his concerts.
