#1 White-clad sailors lined the decks of the 10,000-tonne cruiser as it pulled slowly into the US naval base 45 km (30 miles) southwest of Tokyo, to be greeted with a Japanese-style taiko drum performance by US seamen.

That would have been something to see. Talented guys, those US seamen! (Not to mention terribly useful at times...) ;-)

#2 Was at a taiko performance here a couple years ago, given by a well-known Japanese troop.

Felt it in my bones for hours - incredible stuff.
