Too Late: a Short Story [Part 1]

This week’s column is part a three-part short story inspired and continuing from my latest music video 說時遲.

I always hear them say, "better late than never". Is this supposed to be encouragement for those who can't get themselves to act, or consolation for those who fear that they may have missed their chance?

March 12th, 2011

As I stare in disbelief at the television, with wave after wave of bad news from Japan, the shock finally settles in. For a place I've never visited, Sendai suddenly seemed awfully close. Two days without a word from her and I don't know what to think. The news says telecommunications are down and lines to remaining telephone booths stretch on for days. Maybe it's just not her turn yet. All I can think to do is pray.

March 14th, 2011

Still nothing from her. I've been calling the music school and her friends, but there’s been no response from any of them yet. I hear rescue teams are still discovering survivors amongst the thousands trapped and lost… Anyway, I don’t want to over-think this. Still early. There's still hope. I just wish she'd call.

March 15th, 2011

I can’t wait any longer. Just bought tickets to Tokyo since it’s impossible to get a flight directly to Sendai at this point. Whatever it is that’s happened to her, I need to see for myself. Haven’t figured out exactly how I’m getting to Sendai after I touch down yet, but I can sort that out on the plane.

10:00AM

There’s hardly anyone on the plane right now. Is it really that bad?

To be continued…

Anticipation. Fear. And yes, a longing for an outcome that's wanted, perhaps needed.

Music videos have lost their way, some.

Jonathan picked up both the piano and the violin at the age of 6 and began taking a serious interest in dance during his high school years in the U.S. He continued his artistic pursuits at Cornell University, double majoring in Dance and Psychology while acting as musical director and arranger for the A Cappella group "Last Call" there. His vocal arrangements and solo performances helped "Last Call" secure numerous national and international awards, while his achievements in dance made him the single recipient of the 2008 Cornell Undergraduate Artist Award.

Jonathan released his debut album in Cantonese/ Mandarin/ English in October 2009 and his 2nd album in June 2010, with lead singles that became instant hits on the Hong Kong and Guangzhou pop charts.

In June 2010, Jonathan joined Avex, a top music records label in Japan, and became the first ever international artist jointly developed by the music group's domestic and international departments.

In January 2011, Jonathan will perform as a special guest of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra in two concerts at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. It will be an exciting crossover as Jonathan's own compositions, characterized by R&B and Hip Hop rhythms, will be rearranged and performed by an ensemble of 80 highly accomplished musicians.
