Sugino Nob - Japanese lap steel
I received a nice set of CDs from the Japanese steel guitarist Sugino Nob. His web site is in Japanese, but he has samples of his playing here.
I think he has a unique voice on the steel. If I had to compare him to anyone it would probably be David Lindley, but only on some of his songs.
It's always interesting to me to see where people are taking the steel guitar.

Way cool!!!! I listened to his samples and really liked what I heard - Brad, since my Japanese is a little rusty, did he mention anything about where to buy his CDs?

How terribly irritating - I've looked for an email address or other contact info on his website, can't find anything and no link to where to buy his CDs either, nothing on CD Baby.....
Brad, you must have some contact info, help us out here,- this is some of the most refreshing stuff I've heard in a long time..

Using Google's auto translation option, I could get to a sales page that was only partially translated but does have his email address. When I try to post that page here it reverts to his home page. The label is called Twins Records. Any Japanese-speaking members on the forum?

I have mailed the record label, hopefully they'll get back with more info soon.
Mark V - thanks for the info, my reply to you bounced back (?).

Many Japanese have taken to both lap steel, non-pedal, and pedal steel guitars. There is a profound interest in steel guitar in Japan.
It is nice to hear the variational playing styles of the Japanese.
We have a contingent of Japanese players coming from Japan every 2 years, who play at the Hawaiian Steel Guitar Convention in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Also at this international convention in Honolulu, steel guitar players have come from all over the world to bring their various stylings, i.e. England, Finland, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Japan, etc.
Aloha,
Don

Here's the reply I received from him:

Hi Brad,
Thank you very much for posting a message about me!
Now I'm trying to find a way to sell my CDs outside Japan.
And waiting for the answers from my agent living in Los Angeles.
I will make a decision in a few days,I guess.
I made a page in English about my CDs and my e-mail address. You also can reach it
from the MP3 page. http://www.h6.dion.ne.jp/~lapsteel/Pages/forOVS.html/

As Brad mentioned above
Sugino has set up a site to order his CD's using PayPal
http://www.h6.dion.ne.jp/~lapsteel/Pages/forOVS.html
Also check out his clip of a recent live performance.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Mark Vinbury on 07 March 2006 at 12:37 PM.]</p></FONT>
