Playing music with dear friends in 2 weeks. Last (& pretty much my only) LA show of the year healingforcerecords.com/events/tomo-...

I made music for this documentary about the history of baseball between the U.S. and Japan, and it’s premiering in October at the Mill Valley Film Fest! Play Ball!

Chicago really hates Trump.

Good for them.

Cuomo's using "woke" like a gutter racist. This guy's just another Trumper. Destroy him at the polls, friends. Vote Mamdani and get everyone you know to vote for Mamdani.

In 2012, I travelled around the states to interview some of my favorite musicians in various studios. It was a magical time of optimistic creativity, collaboration, & friendship. I am so glad we captured these precious moments. @tomonakayama.bsky.social is still killin’ it, thankfully❤️🕊️❤️

Walking In Their Footsteps At A Former Japanese Internment Camp "I wanted to see Manzanar with my own eyes, so that my understanding of history might feel deeper through the experience of place."

Today is the #DayOfRemembrance commemorating Executive Order 9066 and the government's mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII. Eight years ago, I wrote about visiting Manzanar, what life was like in the camp, and how the National Park Service plays a role in teaching civil rights.

Sincere Thanks, Homie

Deleted IG/FB/Threads off phone.
Not sure how much I’ll pop in here…
Homies, you know how/where to find me.

Deleted tiktok where I originally posted these guitar diary type clips. IG, Threads and FB soon to be deactivated or deleted too. Feeling pretty lost tbh.

Hi, I’m God.

You all died in 2016.

And yes, this is Hell.

no joke i've thought a lot about how much of the decline of civilization might be connected to cell phones -- more specifically smart phones, really, but the self-own feels real.

Bracing for 2025 🫣

Hi, I’m God.

People like Jimmy Carter go to Heaven.

People like Donald Trump go to Hell.

Hope this helps,

God

Uh… what the hell happened with those mysterious drones???

Sendin hugs❤️❤️‍🩹❤️

when I get to 400,000 followers I will smite a major evil doer.

only 7.5k to go.

Had to hold it together for Stephen!

I performed live only 2x this year. Based on how terribly nervous and shaky those performances went, it’s painfully apparent that I need to start playing live again regularly.

Fulltime despair fighting wasn’t on my bingo card when I was a hopeful youth (many many many years ago)

Same. It feels super weird

Another band name!

Years ago I started the AsAmCreatorRollcall hashag on twitter for fellow Asian American creators. I figured I'd do something kind of similar with a starter pack of AANHPI creators here on Bluesky. Check 'em out!

As sources say Trump could deport undocumented Chinese first, Asian American groups rush to prep Sources previously told NBC News that undocumented Chinese nationals of military age will be among the first groups targeted for deportation by the incoming Trump administration.

This focus on “military aged” migrants is fear-mongering and a modern day version of the Yellow Peril trope. These are just ordinary people looking to make a better life.
