One thing I'd like to mention while on the subject of Robert Fripp/King Crimson: I've been a member on a few different Fripp-related forums and I must say that the SylvianJapan.com Forum is really much more of a pleasure to be on. The Crimson forums usually have plenty of "high and mighty" attitude and negativity. Come to think of it most forums have the "ego thing" going on - the regulars and old timers look down their noses at the newbies, etc.
This forum is the first for me that has none of the attitude. I must say it's very refreshing and has caused me to post much more than I do on other Forums (I mostly lurk).
Basically I just wanted to thank everyone for making this a great community
Definitely, and some just through the interest he's expressed in their music. Many of those mentioned already, Akiko Yano, Sandii & the Sunsetz, got into Takahashi's solo work because of the collaboration with Steve, Derek Bailey, Talvin Singh, etc.sonic_chronicler wrote:What I mean is - have you gone out and bought music by people who have worked with Sylvian because of being introduced to them through his music?

Thank you for saying this because I have been thinking the same thing and wanted to say something but you basically took the words out of my mouth. I find the same characteristics at other forums as well, and thought that most of the Sylvian/Japan related forums that existed up to now were very much that way. This one is quite refreshing and everyone seems to be having a great time without getting hostile with each other. I think for the most part we are all on the same page of thought, although us gals do a bit of gloming over the guys. We do try to keep that balanced out though.
Let's keep up the great work!!!!!!!!
Thanks again Kera for this website!!!!
