What's New
For our performances in the US 2008, so many people have supported and helped us. Thanks to these people, we received surprisingly good reactions from the audience in spite of the fact that this was our first performance abroad.
We don't know how to thank Scott, who suggested this plan in the first place and has worked for it throughout the planning and managing processes. Also, so many people supported and helped us in the US--people who did the planning, set up the stages and the sound systems, made the programs, did the MC or PR, etc. We know that the work that all these people made our performances successful. In addition, we would like to thank Moritomo Akiko-san from the bottom of our hearts, who designed and made our original costumes for this special trip.
We were deepy moved and encouraged by the reactions we received in the US, and would like to keep going so that we could perform even better music in the future.
Thank you again for everything. We hope to see you again. (5/3/08)
