JAPAN IS THE PLACE TO BE FOR GOOD R&B MUSIC

Anyone in Japan? It has always amazed me how well African-American acts don in Europe, Australia and most definitely Japan.
During the next few months Jan - Mar), Japan will be visited by:
Janet Jackson
Kenny Lattimore and Chante` Moore
Midnight Star
Blackstreet, on a reunion tour
Ledesi
Sly & Robbie
The Roots
Take 6
Jody Watley
Avant
Peabo Bryson
Atlantic Starr
Brian McKnight
Cheryl Lynn
Ray Parker Jr.

Average White Band (technically, they are blue-eyed soul/funk)

Whatever happened to that guy who did a duet with Chaka Khan way back when? Was it Toshi Kubota?

I used to have one of his albums. I thought he was going to have some success here but then he disappeared (from US scene). The states are picky about what foreign acts they embrace. I thought Kylie would have been big here a long time ago.
