It is not often that you see a Japanese bouzouki player, much less a woman, playing her favorite instrument, the bouzouki in the rebetika genre in the faraway city of Kobe in Japan.

But then again, Greece and Greeks are everywhere, leaving their stamp on every corner of the planet.

Nobuka Sunohara is the rare case of a Japanese bouzouki player, who along with her instrument has a great love for Vassilis Tsitsanis.
