Kiyoshiro Imawano's Public Funeral Part I

It's hard to describe this for those who don't know anything about the man, but on May 2nd, 2009, Japan lost one of it's most legendary, pure-artist type, rock gods. He started in the 70s with his band RC Succession...and just kept going. He died at 58. It's of course impossible to simplify it into these terms, but basically he was japan's John Lennon/Mick Jagger/Bowie ... something along those lines. When I first heard his music I wasn't overly impressed, but the more my girlfriend told me about him, and the more I could understand the lyrics and what he was all about, I fell in love with the man. As far as "overall awesome guy" goes he's definitely my favorite musician in Japan. On May 9th, 2009 a public funeral was held for him in Aoyama, Tokyo. From AT LEAST 9am to the last train at 12:30 at night people lined up to pay their respects. People waited up to six hours to get in, and an estimated 40,000 people attended. It was a BEAUTIFUL event and I am SO glad I went. These videos were shot on my cell phone (sorry).
