Concert, コンサート
Tucson Repertory Orchestra’s (TRO) first concert was in July 2012. I had a wonderful time conducting while standing on a ladder. I started climbing up the conducting ladder since then. Hope to we can start performing again.ツーソンレパートリーオーケストラの初コンサートは2012年の7月でした。はしごの上での指揮から始め、指揮者としての階段を上り始めたころです。演奏会ができる日がまちどおしいです。

4 Months, 4か月
My mom made masks for us in March, and sent it, and 4 months later, it’s finally here. We had no idea that it will take this long. My son’s mask has his favorite bullet train to ride, Shinkansen. 母が私達ようにマスクを3月に作り送ってくれました。4か月たってやっと届きました。こんなにかかるとは思ってもみなかったです。息子は新幹線に乗るのが大好きなので新幹線のマスクを作ってもらいました。
Record, レコード
I was able to listen to my recording of Humoresque on record from when I was 8 years old accompanied by my father on the piano. I am thankful for my parents for saving this for all these years after so many moves. It was really neat to listen to it with my son, 8Continue reading “Record, レコード”
