SteveAJones Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Just to be clear, the photo above was taken by Ross Halfin during Jimmy's visit to Tokyo last April for a feature which appeared on the Goethe site last June. The handwriting is Jimmy's. http://goethe.nikkei.co.jp/musicbook/140624/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aen27 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Ross's pictures/take from today. Went to the Budokan today where NHK TV were filming part of a Jimmy Page/Led Zeppelin TV Special. Took a photo of Jimmy in the stalls. Spent the evening at Kinokuniya bookstore in Shinjuku where there was a book signing. One fan stood in front of JP and was so overcome he just cried,he couldn’t even talk he must have been frightened by Kazuyo. I think most of the people were just in awe of him being there. http://www.rosshalfin.com/diary/october-2014/diary-october-2014.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems so strange that Jimmy would be sharing his event with someone who doesn't seem to be anything to do with Zeppelin or whatever. I mean, he says that she was there at the signing - this isn't just someone who was on the same flight or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 She is Ross's assistant. It's his humor. Yes indeed, aen. She is Kazuyo Horie, aka as "Filthy", and has been Ross' long-suffering assistant for more than 15 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maaike Roeleveld Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Thanks all, for sharing Jimmy's current trip to Japan, through pictures & reports. As for Jimmy's book, I pre-ordered it on www.bol.com (sort of the dutch version of Amazon), it's released in Netherlands on October 14th.

What did he do - just sort of pat him on the arm and give him time to calm down, rather than rushing on to the next person? I hope so. (Did he say anything to him? Could the man speak English?) Poor guy'd be kicking himself for the rest of his life. But what do you do if they won't calm down...? It must be awful for the person on the receiving end when fans are just hysterical.

Administrators sam_webmaster Posted July 31, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 31, 2015 Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page prays for A-bomb victims in Hiroshima July 31, 2015 By TAKASHI OKUMA/ Staff Writer HIROSHIMA--It’s been a long time since Jimmy Page first visited Hiroshima. But that experience left such an impression on the Led Zeppelin guitarist that he suspended a promotional tour in Japan to pray for victims of the 1945 atomic bombing of the city. Page, 71, laid flowers at the cenotaph for atomic bomb victims in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park on July 30, and then met with Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui at the Hiroshima municipal government building. Matsui mentioned the words inscribed at the monument, “Let all the souls here rest in peace; for we shall not repeat the evil.” The British rock legend said the people of the world have never forgotten the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in the 70 years since the end of World War II. Page’s previous visit to Hiroshima in 1971 gave him a deep understanding of the tragedy of the bombing on Aug. 6, 1945. He said people nowadays should protect peace while thinking about the feelings of the atomic bombing victims. The guitarist is currently in Japan on a promotional tour for an album that went on sale July 31. http://ajw.asahi.com/article/behind_news/social_affairs/AJ201507310033 ---------------- HIROSHIMA – Jimmy Page, the guitarist of the legendary British rock band Led Zeppelin, on Thursday visited Hiroshima and laid flowers for the victims of the U.S. atomic bombing of the city 70 years ago. He placed the flowers at the cenotaph in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and bowed his head. “The whole world has been under the shadow of the bomb. I know that all of us pray for peace,” Page told reporters. He later visited the Atomic Bomb Dome, which survived the bomb dropped on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, in the closing days of World War II. He met with Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui at City Hall. Matsui asked Page to spread the message inscribed on the cenotaph all over the world, and that this is the wish of the hibakusha. The message reads, “Let all the souls here rest in peace; For we shall not repeat the evil.” Page replied that people who live now should make efforts to maintain peace while taking into account the feelings of the atomic bomb victims and survivors. It was Page’s second visit to Hiroshima. His first visit was in 1971, during which he and other Led Zeppelin members visited City Hall and donated ¥7 million in revenue from their concert in Hiroshima to support hibakusha. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2015/07/31/national/history/jimmy-page-pays-tribute-hiroshima-bomb-victims/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
