I paid hundreds of dollars (airplane ticket and lodging) to see this band back then. I did that because I know such things don't last more than a few years. To play like this you've got to be completely obsessed. Sooner or later you are going to want to have a larger life. Most people tire of touring too, The Rolling Stones notwithstanding.

However I don't recall Sonicbloom being anywhere near this good so I didn't really hit it. This may have been a couple of years later.

Hiromi was born in Hamamatsu (Port Pine), the headquarters of Yamaha music. They started out making organs, that's why their logo is three tuning forks. They heavily promote music education for the young and have made Japan the music capital of the world. Most people don't know that yet, but perhaps they will. The West has pretty much given up on popular music, opting for cheaply produced extruded musical Cheez-Whiz.
