The Snowflakes are Dancing got 4 Grammy award nominations, and the first Grammy nomination for someone from Japan.

Not only that, but he had a lot of problems getting it in to Japan...the customs agents didn't believe that it was a musical instrument! So it sat in customs hell until he was able to prove that it was an instrument!

Wow, that Beatles cover sounds just like the way Tomita would do it!

Phelonius Friar (host)
Yeah... the ending was very Tomita-like which is why I went there. It's otherwise pretty darned weird ;). Needless to say I love it (and its weirdness)!
