Japanese version[edit]

Thanks to you for helping this page. Keisuke Kuwata and his band, Southern All-Stars, have a more evolved page in the Japanese Wikipedia. Although they perform a lot of J-pop music, they have done a remarkable job in covering songs from Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" to Steppenwolf, "Born to be Wild". Their cover of Little Wing on You Tube really deserves a listen, it's remarkable! In addition, I've seen videos of concerts they perform yearly for charity for AIDS research. --leahtwosaints (talk) 05:17, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May be 2nd generation Korean?[edit]

Well, is he or is he not? May be is very weasel. 86.134.236.70 (talk) 00:01, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is no reference other than Kuwata singing with a phrase about a Korean mother in it. If I sing about "dem 'ole Cottonfields Back Home", I doubt people would assume I'm a Southerner from the USA. The "reference" provided was a You Tube song-- not dependable. I'm sure someone meant well, but I am going to remove it as hearsay. --leahtwosaints (talk) 11:22, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Need more info regarding collab with Hall & Oates[edit]

I know (from a H&O appearance on the Tonight Show With Johnny Carson) in 1988 Kuwata somehow brought H&O out of their 3 year hiatus that led to the recording of their album Ooh Yeah!. He appeared in the song and music video for "Realove" off that album. The problem is I don't have enough info as to what he did specifically. Like, I know he provided some vocals in "Realove", you can obviously see and/or hear him in the song and music video near the end, but what else did he contribute? We see he's playing guitar in the music video, so did he contribute guitar too? If someone knows, please help, so I can add this info to Kuwata's page, Ooh Yeah!'s page and possibly Hall & Oates' page. Thanks. 208.92.76.249 (talk) 15:45, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
