Merry Christmas!!

Hello my friends!

How was your Christmas?

Japanese people celebrate Christmas even though Buddhists. 

That's unique, right?

But I work at Christmas every year...(-_-)

So I usually have a party with my coworkers.

Yesterday, I hung out with Rie who is a clarinet player in my orchestra and my best friend.

We ate big oysters!

These were fresh, beautiful and delicious!!! 

Young@Heart

Do you know this movie?

This is my favorite one.

It's a documentary about Young@Heart which is a chorus group consists of elderly whose average age is 80!

And they sing punk rock~~~~~!!!!

They are cool.

They are cute♪

Their life is beautiful.

I laughed a lot, I cried a lot and they inspired me.

Kanazawa

The next day of Kyoto, we moved to kanazawa and had the last concert of this tour.

Kanazawa was a castle town, so many dead ends have been left in the town like a maze.

I had a little time before a rehearsal, so I walked around the old quiet town.

I felt Japan very much....

The structures were solemn.

Nice...

Kyoto

This is the Kyoto Concert Hall.

Kyoto is one of the famous tourist spots in Japan which has a lot of historical structure. 

But, unfortunately, we didn't have time to sightseeing this time (T_T)

We went to the concert hall directly and had a concert.

I want to come again someday just for sightseeing♪

Okonomiyaki (Hiroshima style)

Hiroshima is famous for Okonomiyaki.

A lot of shredded cabbage and noodle in the dough, and eat with sweet sauce.

That was great!!!!

I was happy~~~~:-)

Concert in Hiroshima

I was in Fukuyama Hiroshima last weekend.

I played in my previous orchestra as a extra player.

This is the view from my place on the stage.

Aaron Copland, George Gershwin..... That was a hard program for the trumpet players.hahaha

We are having two more concerts in Kyoto & Kanazawa from tomorrow♪
