Guitar with Char
Who knew Japan boasted such guitar wizards? A weird disjunction with the common conception of "J-pop."
The fellow in the black tee-shirt, who appears to be the host of this show, is Char. The guest in the black leather is Rolly Teranishi. There's about a dozen other episodes of Char's show on YouTube.

Fabulous is the only word to describe "Madame X," a candy-colored, fast-paced tale of a pre-op transsexual superhero from Indonesia who fights intolerance.
