Today (Friday, 9 May 2025) I enjoyed an especially fun lunch with the legendary maestro Kitaro who was in Singapore, with his beautiful and fun wife Franci, for a private visit.
Yes, rock stars sometimes come to Singapore for just a holiday. Sans musical instruments.
Like all rock star invitations to hang out, I received an email, this time from Kitaro. One simply cannot decline such delicious invites.
Me with Kitaro (Mr. Suave) at Tanglin Club. Chummy cuisine of choice – scrumptious tenderloins, oysters, Guinness and Tiger beers (above image). Two good friends catching up. Check out our unintentional coordinated white jeans.
An extra bonus, my sister Gena was coincidentally seated at the next table.

Do read my previous “Kitaro Returns” and “More Kitaro Returns” blogs on his concerts in Singapore blogs.
Today marked one of the most enjoyable lunches I have had in a long time.
To Kitaro fans in Singapore: maestro Kitaro is set to have a concert in September 2025. You read it here first. Fun times indeed!
