Feb. 24, 7:30 p.m. "Tanka Reading & Talk Gathering" at Miyako Catholic Church. After the appearance on FM TAMAN, I flew to Miyakojima Island to host "Tanka Reading & Talk Gathering" at Miyako Catholic Church. Though it was the eve of the Miyako's culturally important grave-keeping event, many audience came to the gathering. Their comments were very heart-warming and I was very much encouraged. | |
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Ms. Setsuko Ishimine and everyone came to the gathering. Ms. Ishimine, my close associate of a tanka group, "KOKORO NO HANA", living in Miyakojima Island, made lots of efforts to host this gathering.

Feb. 25, Radio program recording session at FM Miyako. Although it was rather a busy schedule, I attended the recording session of "KANASU MIYAKO" at 9:00 a.m. on the day after I flew in to Miyako. I really enjoyed the talk with Mr. Jun Yonaha, the DJ of the program, and tanka reading. It was a meaningful time for me. |

Mr. Yonaha, thank you very much for your everluation on my reading performance! With Mr. Jun Yonaha, DJ of FM Miyako, and Ms. Yoko Tamaki. |
