    Goh,
    Saw you on Justin.tv maybe 3 years ago and downloaded Ulysses shortly thereafter. Hasn’t been off my regular rotation since. Next time you’re back in Boston, make sure we all know.
    -Tom

  • Christine

    Amazing.
    I had the luxury of randomly hearing “El Camino” on Pandora.com. You have talent! Listening to your music was like being reintroduced to Elliott Smith. If only you played on the East Coast…

  • whitknee

    When will pigeon toes return?

  • TC

    Goh !

    I stumbled across you in yourtube. I found your site and then bought your album on iTunes. Listening to your tracks..fantastic..you just made my Wednesday night ! Hope some label signs you..u are the next John Lennon.

  • http://www.StartupStoryRadio.com Rob McNealy

    I just found you on YouTube.com and I really dig your sound. I also just Twittered you. Where can I get an album? I would love to blog about it.

  • hellroy

    I was looking for a good acoustic version of “Just like heaven” and yours blew me away. If you have that for download someplace, i’d love a copy!

  • Dan Kim

    Hey man, I’m spreading the news about your ascent to stardom. Great work; my favorite song is definitely Surrogate Valentine, wish I could play it too!

  • Albert Hsia

    Goh!

    You music is wonderful! Brilliantly soothing and bold at the same time. I like!

  • Steve

    Goh…
    I listened to you for a long time last night on yahoo live. It was outstanding. Keep it up and I will surely be back to hear you again. Too bad you are not near Indianapolis because I would drop some bucks to see you. Later

  • Jessie

    I was experiencing some Embarcadero Blues today, myself, but your songs were quite a find. They brightened my day and made me feel connected again.
    Thank you.
    I can’t wait to see you perform live in the hopefully near future!

  • http://www.myspace.com/pascalstriangle Alexa J.

    hey i saw your video of Just Like Heaven on youtube and i was wondering if you had that tabbed out at all? I’ve been trying to mimick your chords for a while but it’s pretty difficult.. help a girl out! I love the way you play that song!

  • rolando

    you’re cool man!
    come to London!!

  • Pete

    Goh, Your music is really great, especially surrogate valentine. It is one of my favorite songs without a doubt. Where can I find a tab for it? Keep comming up with the killer tunes buddy. It is so cool to see/hear someone put into words what a lot of us are feeling. Oh yeah, the guitar skills…you have all kinds, i’m jealous but I guess that is where hard work will get a guy. I can’t imagine not hearing you on mainstream radio in a year. If not, just know you have people that really appreciate your music.

  • Kennosuke

    Goh-san.

    Anata no ongaku wa sugoi desu. Honto ni kakkoi desu.

    Keep up the great work. *thumbs up*

  • Dave S

    Where do you play in the SF Bay Area? If you are in the South Bay I would go and drag some of my friends. Keep on keeping on. Not an iTunes guy, but I would buy a hard CD if you have any around…

  • Jay Hansen

    Mr. Nakamura,
    Your voice is great. Embarcadero Blues brings tears to the eyes of this 55 year old meztiso
    bass player. The songwriting and performance are
    superb, so why hasn’t a major label picked you up?

  • http://www.thevagabondwhitehaven.co.uk chris

    Hi Goh, really enjoying your music which we found by accident on you tube here in the uk. your playing i know is your own but you do sound occasionally like early john martyn who is now as old as me – about fifty plus plus! greetings from england and best wishes from chris morrison. hope to see you one day next time we are in san francisco!

  • アツシ

    最高です!!最近心をえぐられるような音楽に出会えなかったけどgoh nakamuraあなたの楽曲、声、メロディー、感激しました。CDを買いに行ったけど、レーベルには入っていないのですか??商業音楽ではなく、心を癒してくれる音楽ありがとうございました。是非ダウンロードするのではなくCDが欲しいです。

  • Bill

    Hey Goh Nakamura, your music is Awesome!!!!

  • Koca

    Hi man, i like your songs:)
    They are werry good :) Great style of muic :)
    Do you ever think about some king of “tripů to Czech Republic? We have great history. Think about it man , bye…

  • Chris

    Very good music. It’s got a great feel and sound to it. Keep it up man, you rock.

  • Bon

    Hey Goh,
    I came upon your stuff on youtube by chance and I am totally hooked. I love it and I don’t seem to ever get bored of it. Love your songs. The Natalie Portman song is awesome!!

  • Guacie

    Heya Goh
    I just came to this page of yours in search of more info on you and to find if you have lyrics…Thanks for being an original
    Much love from Guacie
    p.s:I came here in search of the lyrics for Highway blues and in the process listened to all of your other songs on Daylight savings..Liked the alphabet song too.

  • Tina

    Hey Goh, I go to college in Claremont, California and wanted to know if you would ever consider coming down to play. Please let me know if you play some shows in SoCal, it be great to see you perform at the Claremont colleges!

    You brighten up my day =)

  • steve

    i love the whistling; sound like an asian john lennon with a san fran twist. like you’re music ‘cause it’s not for softies. themes and chord progression are very melancholy. great art!

  • Kay

    Goh,

    You have an amazing gift for singing and writing.

    Would love to see more of you and hear more about you as well.

    I posted your link at the Zama Alumni Site where many of us grew up in Japan as Military Brats…and it’s all good.

    Thought I would do a little PR for you.

    Take Care and Keep on Truckin!

  • http://www.jiggajayd.com Jay

  • john

    You are really good. I hope you get where you want to be. That Cure cover was great. Some of the comments people left on YouTube were crap. Don’t let that stuff get to you because you are good.

  • Tina

    Hey there, Goh!

    I was in San Francisco for the first time last weekend and it was absolutely amazing! I’m now back in New York and was looking for little bits of SF on YouTube this afternoon when I discovered your song “Embarcadero Blues.” I absolutely fell in love; it captures the city beautifully! Thanks so much for the great music and I can’t wait for more songs from you!

    Greetings from the Big Apple!
    Tina

  • Tim

    Just saw your video on you-tube and I’m impressed. Nice music to work to!

    Hey Goh, very nice music, the video on “Embarcadero Blues” is well done, the sound and spirit reminds me to John Lennon and Yoko Ono!
    Go on!

  • Jerry

    I’ve just started listening to your music. Your vocals and instrumental arrangements come together nicely to make a flavorful sound! Good work, Goh! I hope to hear more, soon.

    By the way, I maintain the Asian-American Artists (AAA) page on myspace. I’ll be happy to feature you one day in the future, if it pleases you.

  • Jaco

    It goes to my heart and embrace so many things
    I just love it and it make me emotional
    MARVELOUS!!!

  • Tony P

    Goh,

    You’re a hit. I liked how you captured SF with embarcadero blues and how you sung about the “pigeon toe’s” in every guys life. Won’t be suprised if I hear you on the radio in the very near future. My only request…”make another album “. You “Goh” Nakamura!!! Best wishes and happy holidays.

    Good to see you again, man. That show on Friday was great for easing the work stress. I even blogged it.

  • dorothy, who still thinks you rock

    Hey there! I love the new bootlegs for download, they’re very fun.

    I’ve been playing with http://www.pandora.com lately, it’s a website that finds music similar to your tastes. It looks like a good way for indies to get exposure. You should contact them and see about getting your music included!

    I’m still hoping to see you in Eugene or Portland sometime ^^

  • Yumi

    You are sounding really great!

  • kaz

    the videos were awesome. i miss watching you play..

  • Courtney

    Caught part of your ‘People in Plazas’ show today and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for brightening up the otherwise nondescript day for a couple of insurance office workers.

  • Song-Ho Tran

    Hi Goh,

    My name is Song-Ho Tran. I’ve met you through David Huang and seen you perform a number of times. I really love your music. I don’t have your e-mail, so I figured this might be an ok way of contacting you. My workplace (in SF) is having a party celebrating the 2nd anniverary of the cafe we have on-site. They are looking to have the celebration on a Thursday or Friday at around lunchtime in September. I wanted to inquire if you may have any interest in this. Please contact me if you do.

    Thank you.

  • http://www.globality.org Steve

    The new song sounds great, Goh! Can’t wait to hear the studio version.

  • http://theindiekid.blogspot.com TheIndieKid

    Oh wait, nevermind….Blogger was just freaking out on me. Nothing needs to be done on your part; again, thanks for the link to the videos!

  • http://theindiekid.blogspot.com TheIndieKid

    Goh, I made a spelling error on my blog comment back to you, and, while attempting to fix it, accidentally wiped the comment. Could you re-post it? I’ll paste it word for word here form what I have in my logs so that you can just copy+paste from here:

    “Hey dude,

    Goh peeking in here- glad you dig the tunes!

    If you’re curious about what happens at a live show, I have some live bootlegs up here:

    http://gohnakamura.com/0506Locus/

    Rock on Indiekid,

    Goh “

  • http://www.myspace.com/chiparus chip yamada

    Goh, or Tak, what’s the happenings? it was coincidence that I found you on the web, it’s cool that you are doing it!
    I heard from Huw that you are playing around SF, and I see that Aya has done some of your art,
    I’d love to hang with you all, and share my CD with you, and maybe even play with you, I’ll keep my eye on your schedule and try to make it to your show!
    peace,
    Chiparus

  • Sheri

    My friend and I saw you perform at a fundraising event a while back at Cafe du Nord. I recently bought your cd and it’s really charming. Hopefully, more people will have the pleasure of discovering your music.

    I saw you for the first time saturday night, Fray Day. Your music instantly blew me away, and took me someplace emotionally that i have been unable to touch for a long time. I have been playing your cd over and over. It’s been good medicine for my heart and mind. You are a great musician. Look forward to seeing you live again.

  • http://www.metagrrrl.com Dinah Sanders

    Thanks for performing at Fray Day! Just listening to the album and thinking “I need to see Goh play more often.”

    I was introduced to Goh by DJ Nat from the now gone Headphonerecord.com. She actually sent me his way while looking for some unsigned musical acts and I was blown away the second I heard just one track. I’m ecstatic to make Goh a part of the elementQuattro radio showcase.

  • http://www.boygirlparty.com susie

    Greetings from Japan duuuuude! Wish you were here! I drank with Takashi, his gf, and Keisaku tonight. They are excited to hear the cds I gave them of your music! Wish you could’ve came on this trip! I’m sad I will miss the Ireland’s show this week. Sing 4 seasons in honor of me…heehee!

  • Ed

    i saw goh perform at a friend’s wedding in monterey. it was awesome! i highly recommend goh!

  • Jacqui

    Really gentle and hypnotic the journey of your music. Someone sent me your cd and have been looping it over and over since last night.

    I think we met through Jenn Lim?

    Great work. I hear a bit of ECostello and later Lennon. And of course you. When you come to LA, send me a notice.

  • dorothy

    Hey there.
    I was visiting my roommate in the Bay Area, and saw Daylight Savings at the Super 7 comicbook store. It was next to a little “employee pick” card recommending it to fans of Elliott Smith and Elvis Costello. ?!? They played it for me, and I bought it on the spot (the last copy, too). Now I’m back home in Eugene, OR, and loving it. Clever lyrics and a moving sound, songs for a rainy day and a too-hot cup of tea.
    Can I look forward to a show in Portland or Eugene sometime?
    Best of luck,

    ICAN show was indeed one of the best shows ever! My 4 year old sings “embarcadero blues” everyday!

    The Japantown show today was fun. Always something new from you. I especially liked the slow, stately version of “Surrogate Valentine.” And the Journey micro-medley added a pleasantly surreal quality.

    Goh has infiltrated my iPod…my heart…my soul and any other cliche’ you can give him credit for. He is truly a wonder of nature and truly a man of the people, by the people, for the people. Kind of like the FUBU of music. Rock on with your bad self running things.

  • http://www.upperisland.com Heita

    It was awesome playing together at the Rickshaw on June 5. Your set was artful and a gas to watch.

    Let me know if you’re headed to LA. And say hi so I can get your email address for when we come back to SFO.

  • yumi thomas

    I have heard your lyrics many times, but reading them I am reminded how beautiful they are.

  • http://www.globality.org Steve

    Like I wrote on my site, I was amazed how much better the CD sounds than the MP3s from your site — especially on my home stereo. Then I did some listening on headphones and figured out why. The stereo effects are great! They give the sound so much dimension.

  • mona fox

    Hey now-

    I read the Buzz interview and remembered it was Tuesday night, but after logging on it is next Tuesday you play at Irelands. I have a special knack for promotions and enjoy working the mail/email list for GOOD bands so perhaps I might catch a show soon and possibly introduce myself. Score on the Buzz props and I like how your website is sorted out as well. Good Luck, Mona

    You sounded great last night! You can always count on me giggling at stuff other people wouldn’t giggle at during your sets. We’ll make your dream come true of getting a song in a movie with Parker Posey.
