Summary: This native of Osaka, Japan, had never sung in public until he joined the LDS church and was serving as a missionary in Fukuoka. In the 20 years since, he's sung and written music with artists like Janice Kapp Perry, Afterglow, Kenneth Cope, Jericho Road and other, all in Japanese. This weekend Nobu is giving a concert in his home ward in Osaka and has released "I Will Sing!" This new CD includes many of his favorite inspirational songs sung in Japanese with the artists who created them, and he includes several meaningful originals. That's this week on The Cricket and Seagull. PLAYLIST I Will Sing!
