In the morning my friend Naomi and I went through the rehearsal in her house. After we grabbed sandwiches, we went to KARAKU.
We were really surprised, because the parking lot was "full". Actually I invited some friends, but I can count them all one hand.
All of them managed to come to listen to our concert in such a hot day.
We started with Italian classical songs, because Naomi's major was Italian classical songs.
And now she mainly sings in a choir as a pro classical singer. Since we met each other more than 15 years passed.
After I introduced her to the audience, main stage opened. She sang some typical Japanese old songs with my piano. The audience seemed to be in their 60's or much older. So I think they really enjoyed our music.
And the ending was YAGIBUSHI. This song was born in TOCHIGI prefecture (my city UTSUNOMIYA is in TOCHIGI). I wanted to play something connected with this area, so I chose it. Usually it is played by Japanese traditional instruments, but I played it by piano. Everyone seemed to enjoy this song beating time with their hands. This youtube is orginal YAGIBUSHI.
