I saw this man on the way to another wedding party (2nd of this year :D) at Tokyo. As you know, he's still a politician even after he resigned the governer of Nagano pref. where become famous for stopping patronage-driven public project. I couldn't help stopping to hear him despite I hurried aroung, because I'd just gave up attending his lecture held by almuni assosiation club due to schedule. His policy brought on active debates over its pros and cons, and I'm not 100% advocates of his way, but I think it's great progress of Japanese local autonomy that break with precedent by open expression of one's opinions. In Japan, there's still luck of manifestation. Oops, no intention to speak about politics, I just wanted to show off this pic, "hey I saw a celeb!!" .

First time on this year, I had a big wedding party. One of my colleague just got merried at Disneyland!! Of course there were Mickymouse & Minniemouse and lots of other pretty features, which I missed unfortunately... Anyway, it's quite nice to have happy time with friends together, besides, I have a few more in this first half of year!! Hmmm, I've got to catch a wave!?

Today orchestra I belong held half-annual concert! We had plenty of audience which we've never achieved since our orchestra started, as much as the hall is filled with people. Program was "Nutscracker" (full piece) and Symphony No.5 of Tchaikovsky. Though we're not sperb enough to move people by our sound, there were many families in the audience who said they enjoyed the program which is organized with story-telling. Not only the audiences, it is us that who's most enjoyed music itself!! Almost one year has passed since I joined this group, and I invited my friend for the first time. Kindly she gave me this beautiful bouquet and encouragement, that is somewhat really delightful.
