2024.12.12 Thank you so much, Dr.Kazuaki Takeda for offering me to recite Japanese poetry and tanka for students at Senzoku Gakuen College of Music.
It was a great honor for me!

Today (January 15, 2025), thanks to Dr.Kazuaki Takeda, I have been requested to recite the lyrics of the Japanese songs ``Konomichi'', ``When I become sad'', and ``Sakura Yokocho'' at Toho Gakuen College of Music. I was given it. At the end, I had the rare opportunity to read a series of tanka poems I had written about the sense of hearing, accompanied by Mr. Takeda's Nohkan performance, and it was a very rich and enriching moment.
Thank you very much to Dr.Kazuaki Takeda, Ms.Kaoruko Kanbe, and Ms.Paku.
