This past weekend I was singing at charity events in Nagoya and Osaka for HOPE Japan, an NGO that builds wells in Cambodia, Somalia and various other spots around the world. They do good work providing clean water for people who need it, so that’s one reason to go over and check out their Youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/hopewaterjp).

Another reason is to hear Mr. Billy Blanks of Billy’s Bootcamp fame talk about his views on charity. Billy showed up and auctioned off a private workout that fetched a winning bid of 200,000 yen at the Osaka event. Then he announced his engagement to his Japanese fiancée and spoke of his plans to build a life in Japan.

So there you are, just in case you were lying awake at nights, wondering where Billy is now. Now go dust off that Bootcamp DVD and give it another try – beach days are not so far away.
