Just did a quick search for these strings on Amazon marketplace and noticed a profusion of sellers based in Japan. Does this string have some sort of niche popularity there? I'm curious about these sorts of trends, like when I found that the Opera browser was for a long time something of a...

Yes. It is neck-thru. From what I've read, that's the difference between the triple-digit and quadruple digit model designations.

I like the Ivan Lins stuff that I've heard from the studio versions, but one thing that always gets me is how much the "Harlequin" album seems like Grusin and Ritenour trying to sound like the Pat Metheny Group. Maybe that's why I like it so much.... anyway, who plays bass on "Harlequin?"

I am going to school in NYC this fall and would like to see some shows there. Can I even get in if I am under 21?
