Born in Tokyo as the grandson of the only Japanese survivor of the Titanic, Haruomi Hosono is a major architect of modern Japanese pop music.
After nearly 50 years as a musician, he's got a new film, “Sayonara America,” documenting his 2019 U.S. tour.
In conjunction with the doc, he's released a cover of a 1973 classic by his old band Happy End, and you'll hear it here, plus a whole lot more to get you set for the weekend.
