Since arriving back in Osaka, news has reached me from England of the 'Piano Man'. Apparently, last week a man was found near an English beach, soaking wet and wearing a black suit with the labels cut out. Already it sounds a bit odd.

When hospital staff at a Kent hospital tried to find out who he is, or where he's from, he wouldn't speak. So they gave him a pen and paper. He drew a picture of a piano. They took him to the music room where he astounded everyone by giving a virtuoso piano performance, playing for a staggering four hours. But they still have no clue as to his identity. And he still hasn't uttered a word.

Widespread publicity of the story has thus far failed to help in identifying the man. The only information that has been gleaned from him is that he's shit-hot on the piano and that he has a penchant for doughnuts.

I managed to find a photo of him, so if anyone reading this knows who he is, they should phone a police officer in England immediately and help this poor man.
