Fukuoka is abuzz with plenty of cultural events this month: there\u2019s the Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale (FT5) which brings over 40 artists from 21 countries and regions to Fukuoka, Nakasu Jazz festival with top-class live jazz artists, and Focus on Asia International Film Festival, part of Fukuoka Asian Party – which brings together various Asian cultural, academic and art events and attractions in Fukuoka every September. Suffice to say, culture nerds will not go hungry this September in Fukuoka. Speaking of hunger, we tamed ours with slow cooked sirloin steak at Congrats Hakata this month, where you\u2019ll find great taste and big portions. Meanwhile, we talked to Fukuoka\u2019s piano man, Darrell Smith, who launches a new CD this month. Finally, we open submissions for visual artists and performers to take part in our next big international event Creative Community<\/a>\u00a0happening Nov. 8 at JR Kyushu Hall. If you\u2019re an artist in Kyushu, don\u2019t miss this chance to gain recognition and exposure. This month\u2019s cover models are three of the FT5 artists, Prilla Tania, Mehreen Murtaza and Agi Chen. Read our interviews with the three international artists online.<\/p>\n
