Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 01 Apr 05 - 07:24 AM I have 2 bookmarks courtesy of Masato - 2 Google Japan searches for traditional dolls. Pages & pages of beautiful pictures to study. I'm a fan sandra |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 01 Apr 05 - 02:22 AM ...and many thanks from me, too. RtS |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Peace Date: 31 Mar 05 - 07:48 PM I ditto the sentiments and words above, Masato. Thank you just for being you. |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Tattie Bogle Date: 31 Mar 05 - 07:31 PM Well I've got a few sets of song words off him too, so many thanks, Masato TB |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: wysiwyg Date: 31 Mar 05 - 02:26 PM Nothing quite like passing around songsheets at church, that are from a scan from Japan. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: GUEST,ClaireBear Date: 31 Mar 05 - 01:19 PM A physical Masato-san meeting was recently achieved by Naemanson -- see the Springtime in Guam thread. I still find his invaluable input popping up here and there; I think it's a luck-of-the-thread thing. |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: John MacKenzie Date: 31 Mar 05 - 12:31 PM Thanks for refreshing this Guest. Yes I too am a fan, and find his erudition amazing. Don't see him around so much recently, could he be fed up with the Buffalo Bagels downstairs too? Giok |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: GUEST Date: 31 Mar 05 - 10:57 AM refresh |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Mark Clark Date: 05 Dec 02 - 07:38 PM Masato, I'm also a big fan of your work here. Not only are you a wizard at Internet research, you are also an amazing repository of folk music knowledge yourself. From the time zone difference you referenced above, I'm guessing that you live in Japan but Indonesia and Australia are also possibilities. I don't mean to pry but are you also a scientist working in the field of microgravity research and fluid mechanics? - Mark |

Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Hrothgar Date: 19 Aug 02 - 06:10 AM I want the t-shirt. |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: wilco Date: 18 Aug 02 - 07:51 PM I got on this thread a little late, but I want a Masato Decoder Ring too!!! If I could only know a little bitty bit of what Masato knows. How do you join the fan club? |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: GUEST,Marie Date: 18 Aug 02 - 10:30 AM Here I am !... (as promised !) :-) |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: van lingle Date: 18 Aug 02 - 07:18 AM Masato you are amazing. My compliments and thanks. vl |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Genie Date: 18 Aug 02 - 04:11 AM Kat, when/how did you get to see Masato smile? Masato, have you ever posted a picture of yourself here at the CafŽ? Or would you. Many of us are pictured here, one place or another. How about our number one music resource person? Genie |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: katlaughing Date: 17 Aug 02 - 06:29 PM Masato has a very winning smile, too! Thank you, Masato, very much! kat in air conditioned room, but it is still hot, more record-breaking temps! |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Warsaw Ed Date: 17 Aug 02 - 05:48 PM Thanks Masato! You've helped me several times personaly and continually at Mudcat - Ed |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Gloredhel Date: 17 Aug 02 - 05:27 PM Thank you Masato! |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: open mike Date: 17 Aug 02 - 02:50 AM yes-agreed-often Masato has the best, and quickest answers. Do you ever sleep? Are you in Japan? Here is a question I have been researching--I am looking for information on a song (gospel/hymn) writer named R.H. Cornelius, who published some song books in TX in the 20's. (specifically Heart Songs) I once found a biographical note that he used to be a miner, and that he was from Cornwall, Wales. Any more info outthere about his Welsch heritage?? or his mining career? Thanks! it occurs that i might start a new thread about this fellow....once again, thanks for being the wonderful resource that you are...I was thinking you were going to say it was 120 degrees--August is the time of the most intense temperature!! hope you find some way of keeping cool! I have no air conditioning, either, which is one reason i am on here at midnight.. when it finally cooled down.... |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Genie Date: 16 Aug 02 - 03:42 AM So you're the one who waters the cherry blossoms! Fantastic! |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: masato sakurai Date: 16 Aug 02 - 03:39 AM Genie, yes for the first question, no for the second. Sakurai is from "sakura" meaning "cherry blossoms" and "i (from 'ido')" meaning "well (for obtaining water)". Of course, I have a lot of questions (the more we know, the more puzzles and mysteries we have), which I'll post in the meantime one by one. I'm busy answering at present. ~Masato |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Genie Date: 16 Aug 02 - 02:49 AM Maybe we should all chip in and buy you an air conditioner, eh, Masato?! It'd be the least we could do. My thanks, too, for all your very well-researched answers to posted queries.
One of my questions about you was finally answered a month or two ago -- i.e. that you are, indeed, a man. I could not tell from your name. (Not perhaps all that important, but I had to avoid personal pronouns when referring to you before that.) The other two, still unanswered, are: Is "Sakurai" a form of the word "Sakura?" Do you ever post questions for the rest of us Mudcatters to answer? *BG* Many, many thanks, Masato. Genie |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: masato sakurai Date: 16 Aug 02 - 12:28 AM Thanks, everyone! I've read all the posts in my un-air-conditioned room (it's about 1:20 p.m. here). ~Masato
|
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: GUEST,Elaine Date: 15 Aug 02 - 11:33 PM Masato's posts were very helpful to me! Hope he at least reads this chorus of appreciation, even he doesn't post to it! Thanks again, Masato! |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Stilly River Sage Date: 15 Aug 02 - 10:30 PM Here here! (Hear here?) He's also usually brief. Another talent some of us only dream of mastering. ;-) SRS |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: The Pooka Date: 15 Aug 02 - 10:05 PM Sign me on too. Masato Sakurai: the Best of the Mudcat. Thank you, modest Masato. Your are a Wonder; and your fans are legion. |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 15 Aug 02 - 08:08 PM "Sign me up for the Christian Jubilee," and for the Masato Fan club. I've known people who were extremely knowledgeable for were so arrogant and condescending about it that I think I'd rather stay ignorant. Masato is just the opposite: unassuming, generous and there to give all the attention to the music, not himself. You set a wonderful example for all of us, Masato!
And I imagine Masato can post ten variants of the song quoted here... :-) Jerry |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Sorcha Date: 15 Aug 02 - 05:45 PM (We're going to embarass Masato-sama again.......) |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Peter T. Date: 15 Aug 02 - 04:48 PM Wait until I tell the Fair One what you said about the "best thing that ever happened here", Mick, you are in BIG TROUBLE. Koko, strap on that parachute, there is work to be done.... yours, Peter T. |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Ebbie Date: 15 Aug 02 - 03:01 PM LOL

Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: MMario Date: 15 Aug 02 - 02:50 PM I bet Masato is the upgraded version of the "Joe Offer" software Max was beta testing a few years ago... |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Amergin Date: 15 Aug 02 - 02:45 PM you might have something there, Ebbie....seems almost too superhuman to me.... |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Ebbie Date: 15 Aug 02 - 02:04 PM I agree. I'm sure I'm not alone in watching for his post on a particularly obscure piece of music- often it's a definitive answer. Thank you, Masato. It just occurred to me: perhaps Masato is not an individual, but a club of people who pool their resources?? :) |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Sorcha Date: 15 Aug 02 - 01:42 PM Send de coder ring soon! I wish I had half his knowledge and resources. |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Kim C Date: 15 Aug 02 - 01:37 PM Count me in. |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Steve-o Date: 15 Aug 02 - 12:51 PM Yessir, there's nothing quite as refreshing as a clear thinker. Thank you for every post, Masato-san. |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Big Mick Date: 15 Aug 02 - 12:25 PM Well, that is because my friend, Joe, is just plain wrong. It hasn't been a "folk" forum for a long time. But it has been a great community of folkies for a long time. Masato............his arrival may very well be the best thing that ever happened here. Count me in as a No. 1, first class, stark raving, rabid, fan of his. Tell me where to send the dues, and how I get my Masato beanie cap and secret decoder ring...............LOL. He is the best. Mick |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 15 Aug 02 - 12:00 PM Count me in. What's your secret, Masato? Access to databases we mere mortals only hear rumors about, or just plain old dogged persistance and determination? If everyone here could search at Masato's level there'd be nothing but BS threads left! (I don't suppose even Masato can really give a definitive answer to "Why do men wear socks with sandals?".) Bruce |
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: MMario Date: 15 Aug 02 - 11:53 AM Masato, Masato! He's our man! If he can't find it maybe Sorcha can!
|
Subject: RE: Masato Fan Club From: Amos Date: 15 Aug 02 - 11:47 AM Seconded with cheers, Gern! A |
Subject: Masato Fan Club From: GUEST,Gern Date: 15 Aug 02 - 11:32 AM Isn't it about time someone started a fan club for Masato Sakurai? This valuable resource is a refreshing change from the usual run of Mudcat trolls, bile spewers and off-color commentators that have run so rampant of late. Not only is Masato a quick and sure source for traditional lyrics, but in one thread quickly juggles Pope, Dylan and Johnny Mercer. Joe may insist with futility that this is a folk forum, but Masato found a way to weave in literature and popular culture as well. I'm a fan. |
