New video

I uploaded new video on Youtube.

Enjoy!

Great Kamakura!

I am back in Japan. Because I was away for two and half months, I feel it takes time to settle down.

I went to Kamakura yesterday with my friend.

Acutally, I didn't have a chance to visit Kamakura before.

Kamakura gourmet...SHIRASU-DON (white bait with Rice) and Rose garden...

Beautiful temples!

And I saw a lot of "kimono" ladies, so elegant.

I am sure I will be back in Kamakura soon...

May be for the season of AJISAI (

Something very special

Thank you! We finished our concert "Prayer" on the 6th at UWA.

I was so moved that everyone's support for the concert. Thank you Mun and Akiko for organising!

Never ever forget about the concert.

When I performed "Flowers for farewell" which was written for the people in the area Tsunami affected, I was so full.... full of emotions, feelings, sympathy and love.

I am going to perform this very special piece more in the future.

Well, I have finished all performances in Perth!! I am leaving on Tuesday.

It was wonderful stay in Perth. Unforgettable.

Great smile!

This is a picture from the concert in Bunbury last Sunday!!

I love this picture so much!! Thank you all!

Donation for vegitable support

I have finally sent the money to the NGO collaboration centre Hanshin qauke rehabilitation. Sorry it took a while, because it is very complicated to make international money transfer!!

We sent $2633.35. That money is from donation which we collected in the City on the 25,26,27th March.

This organisation is having a project which is called "Vegitable support". They help to gather in vegitable from the area where the volcano erupted in this year in kyushu, (otherwise they would be wasted because of the ashes) then they deliver to Tohoku area and make vegitable meals for the people. I think it is an excellent idea, because we can help both.

Thank you very much for your coorperation. Really appreciate it.

Prayer~ Music for Japanese earthquake disaster relieaf

I am going to perform for this concert.

Date: 6th May 2011

Time: 19.30

Venue: Social Science Lecture Theatre, University of Western Australia

Prayer... I think what is the most important thing for us.

At the moment I am working on the piece I might be going to play at the concert...if I would be manage to finish that, it would be a world premiere....

See what is happening!

Also, I am preparing a lot of "spiritual" photos for slide show on that day! I am sure it is going to be good..
