performance_2011_06_18_03.jpg After the broadcast, we received a phone call from a listener. He said, "I was so moved with the strong thoughts and feelings toward Okinawa that I was near to tear." With this greatful comment, I renew my determination to do the performance to stir the strings of the listeners' hearts. (From right. Ms. Yoko Tamaki, Ms. Katsuyo Kina, self, Mr. Lee Morikawa)
