What was her experience there? My opinion is based off my travels back in the mid to late 80's, I'm sure some things have changed.
Peace!
She had a great time and was also their in the 80s when Afro Punk and Hip Hop were merging in Japan, which eventually influenced cousin Neneh Cherry and the London underground scene responsible for jungle, breakbeat and Trip Hop. In fact, it was the fact that she lived with my family that led to our friendship. We never hooked up long term but hand our whenever we run into each other.
She used to hang out in Japan with a son of George Clinton. She got a blog on Tumblr where she has recently been writing about done of her experiences. I last saw her about two weeks ago. In you are interested send me a message by email and I will send you the link or hit me up on Facebook.
Shalom!
