I was not aware of him until this weekend when I heard him play a concert in Buffalo New York with Jeff Hamilton. And thought to myself as I heard him, what a beautiful sensitive player he even played a tune he wrote, called “some other suite.” This concert with Tada is a wonderful memory for me.

I recently discovered Tada and man do I love the way he plays. I'm shocked to hear this happened to him and I'm happy he was able to recover.

Totally his fault for living in a liberal city where criminals have more rights than the working man.

It’s so ironic that during the height of the pandemic, especially in Ny, all of the racist attacks on Asians were committed by BLK people

如果这是一个中国钢琴家,我估计没有任何外国人会关心

What happened to him is absolutely disgusting. Good for him for coming back and going back to doing what he loves. I’m glad he’s okay today.

The little chair lift apparatus in his childhood photo at 2:45 is adorable. Glad he's still getting to live his dream and share his talents with us!

I feel bad for him but that’s what happens when you Live in a democrat state crime is outrageous in a democrat state homelessness it’s a rages in a democrat state they only care about making themselves richer and they don’t care about the people and it’s true and it’s facts I’ve been living for 20 years in this country born and raise in this country and every time there is a Democrat in any state they ruin it they killed it they don’t care about it it’s sad shame on all y’all Democrats

@moonluna464 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

The fact nobody helped him is sickening.

@love2CUsmile86 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

The police wouldn’t do anything.

@Neravy2 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

nothing can stop a man doing what he loves

@Tin_610 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

So no arrest yet? How slow! 🙄

@journeymansmitty8283 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

@j.jester7821 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

No details on these teens…. hmmm. Police provide no details if the perps were arrested? Probably not even pursued the investigation.

@Short_one41 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

So glad he proved his doctor wrong in his recovery. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

がんばって下さい 😊

@norwegian52 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

This hits close to home for me because I am a piano player and I'm also Asian. My heart goes out to this individual and I hope he heals physically and mentally from this trauma that no one should have to go through. I'm even more disgusted at the fact that no one was arrested in this case and there were no hate crime charges.. It doesn't matter what the police report says, this is clearly an example of anti-Asian and physical racism. These cowards have no respect for dignity and humanity and respect. I hope at some point Karma will hit them because this is not right

@julierutherford1170 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

He should've used some Karate.

@AiyaSGC87 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

Good for you! I love a happy ending

@Jelena2022 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

@aichan1888 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

I hope he is healing mentally too, I’m saddened at what happened to him. What those monsters did was a hate crime.

@jarrodderr April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

Those pesky white supremacist. 🤦🏼‍♂️

@museme9767 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

You can truly see the joy as he plays each note. So happy for his recovery 😃

@catherinewu1265 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

Glad to see! Stop Asian hate!

@willstuart4504 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

UH OHHH…. Looks like the Teens responsible for this heinous Beating won't be getting much sleep now, not after learning that the Dreaded MTA's Transit Robbery Squad is on the case.😓😓

@rosario508 April 20, 2025 - 2:37 pm

I think the concept of “hate crime” is so asinine!!! What the hell difference does it make why a person was brutally attacked or what the attackers were thinking??? Larry Elder once said if a klansman hits me with a brick, the operative word isn’t “klansman”. It’s “brick”!!!
