単身カンザスシティに乗り込んだ僕は、レストランに適した土地や建物を見つけ、
日本のステーキハウス「GOJO 」を開店しました。
開店後、徐々に売り上げを伸ばし、カンザスシティの暖かい人たちに応援され、今ではカンザスシティでも有名なレストランになっています。
そして、音楽好きな僕は、地元のイベントや軍隊、
ジャパンフェスなどで幅広くギター演奏をさせてもらい、
また、日本でもビジネスを広げ、日米間を行き交うようになりました。
そして、日本の京都で出会った歌手が、
今、僕がプロデュースしている「内田あや」なのです。
ヨーロッパ、ニューヨーク、ボストン、そして僕が最後にたどり着いた街「カンザスシティ」で、内田あやはCDデビューしました。
人の世の巡り合わせって面白いですね。
ここから内田あや がどんな人生を送るのか見守っていきましょう。
10ーHello, I’m Here, Kansas City
I stood alone in a very open space in Kansas City
for one big dream: to open my own restaurant.
I found the bungalow style building that I thought it
would have been best suited for my restaurant.
I remodeled the building into a restaurant that I named “GOJO Japanese Steak House.”
The sales of GOJO was making a slow but steady progress.
I have been lucky to have a warm support by peoples in Kansas City.
Now GOJO has became one of the most famous restaurant in Kansas City.
I expanded my business to Japan, so I had to go to
Japan, often.
And, my lifetime interest, playing guitar, has also been
always with me.
I have been playing at local events, military bases, and
lots of places in Japan.
Then, I met a singer, Uchida Aya, in Kyoto.
My dream started from France, Germany, New York,
Boston, and ended up with having a restaurant and a
gorgeous family in Kansas City.
And, Aya started her career as a singer from Kansas
City where is my final destination.
I think life is like continuous events show on stage that we must go on.
It cannot be stopped.
Where is Aya going from here?
Is she going to have an eventful life show on stage like
mine?
We will see.
