In the Same Boat

Standard

Mei-Shun sent 邦楽発表会 programs to ex-students of Master Mei-Shu. They do not come for lessons these days, yet when somebody in her class performs on the stage, almost every one of them comes together. We learn a lot from their kindness, don’t we?

Last Spurt

Standard

Just one month is left for Mei-Shun before performing on the stage. There are a lot of things to do – lesson room reservation, invitation letter writing, lunch box order, hotel room reservation (to take a bath after the performance), etc., yet the most important is to control herself. And this is the most difficult.

Reasonable Best

Standard

Mei-Shun rented a space for dance lesson at a nearby community center. For just 300 yen, she occupied 2 rooms removing wooden slide doors to make it stage-sized. Glass windows served as a big mirror. Great place to swing sarashi. Thanks a million to neighbors.

Lovely Birthday!

Standard

September 20 is the birthday of Mei-Shun’s daughter, who is for ever three-year old. Would you … oh, like it? Thanks, my sweet girl. Mom feel happy too.

Feeling Relieved

Standard

Master Mei-Shu finally saw a doctor. No problem has been found after a medical checkup, including CT scanning and colonoscopy. Glad to hear that! Master, please  eat more. Mei-Shun would eat less for you.

Joy of Dance

Standard

Programs for this year’s 邦楽発表会 are ready. On 2nd November, Sunday at Tsuchiura City Hall. Admission free. Performances will start from 10:30. Mei-Shun has to prepare lunch boxes, fruits and sweets for her guests. A nearby hotel room must be reserved to remove the make-up. Lessons would be harder of course. Busy, excited and … happy.

Hi, Friend

Standard

A stray cat (maybe) girl, who looks like Tora-chan, came to our garden. Her 3-colored coat reminds Mei-Shun of ex-Viola, one of Tora-chan’s kittens. They greet rubbing their noses with each other. A lovely, heart-warming scene (^^),
