Otousan no Hitorigoto 037: My Trip to Gunma Craft Market 2026 Pt. 4 - Koji Koji Moheji the Hand-Crank Organ Player Appeared in Gunma!
In this episode, I share the excitement of finally meeting the hand-crank organ player Koji Koji Moheji during my visit to Gunma Craft Market 2026, the largest indoor market in the Northern Kanto region. I reflect on the experience of navigating the venue to find his performance and the incredible beauty of hearing the music live.
I searched the venue until I finally found him.
Finding Koji Koji Moheji's hand-crank organ was a highlight of my trip. It was truly moving to hear the music I had listened to so many times on YouTube resonating right in front of me. Hearing a live performance amidst the bustling crowd at the venue felt even warmer and more heart-touching than I had imagined. There was actually a nerve-wracking moment where I had to say something specific during the performance, so be sure to check out the full episode to hear how that went.
The requested song was a perfect match.
Since I had the chance, I requested a piece from my favorite game, Chrono Cross. The warm, nostalgic sound of the hand-crank organ blended perfectly with the atmosphere of that music, and I couldn't help but get emotional. I want to share more about the kindness shown during the performance and the unique arrangements that only a hand-crank organ can provide, so please listen to the rest of the episode for more.
