Killer video and an amazing song!
What is the explanation behind this crazy Japanese adoption of US heritage?
I am not sure, but his last name may have been Whitney. Was your dad in Colorado during the early 50s and an electrician?That guy on the right looks an awful lot like my father....any idea what his name is?

My theory is that it is a cultural reverence for victors. American men in the mid-20th Century defeated Japan's warrior culture, and they chose to replace that culture with one venerating those American men.
Whereas Americans have always been forward looking, next-big-thing oriented, and although moderately respectful of their past, willing to quickly discard it for short-term gain.
