Two Essential Members of The Brothers Four family

A special shout out today to Takehiko Noguchi and Fumiko Kouketsu who promote our tours and make life easy and satisfying while we are in Japan.
These two special people have been part of The Brothers Four family for more than 25 years. In the early 90’s Noguchi-san was our road manager. A few years later he formed his own production company and helped bring us to Japan. These days The Brothers Four work exclusively with Noguchi-san.
Fumiko-san is an essential part of putting it all together before we arrive and then being with us every day every step of the way when we are in Japan. The joy she brings to what she does in priceless. She speaks excellent English and is able to explain the country to us and in many ways us to the country.
While the tours are run with the highest level of professionalism it means a lot to know and to trust and to enjoy those we work with…have worked with for so many years...

We are already talking about “next time.”

Thank you so much, Noguchi-san and Fumiko-san, for all you have done and continue to do for and with The Brothers Four.

As another way of saying thanks, I am including an audio of the song "Thankful" from the Between Old Friends album.
