Aug. 10, ’25 La Mer Singing Concert
On 10th of August, “La Mer Singing Concert” was held successfully, with 8 people!
It was so much fun to get together and sang various songs we love. I was very pleased to be with my good friends who understood my clear intention on the concert. They helped me achieving my small but precious goal.

Happened to find this pic on the FB and picked it as it is amazingly beautiful.

It was so wonderful to talk about many things with my voice teacher . But, I deeply regret that I did not take any photos.
She finnaly came and got into my house. It seemed she was a bit surprised when she saw me in real, maybe was shocked about my appearance and my life in wheelchair. But she quickly understood the situation and accepted the real. Then our conversation was the same as before, about California, America’s problems, life in Kamakura, Jessica Family, etc. etc.
I asked her to sing, but she did not. I undestand she wants to sing more sophisticated atomosphire. She said that “I will come again with Takeuchi-san!” I appreciate her words, and am looking forward to their visit!!
The visit was a quite emotional one, as I felt sad when she left my house.
