January 31, ’26 Salon

It was such a pleasant time to get together and sang together. It was again with my dear friend Setsuko.

As elderly women we always have some problems and anxieties, but the time we shared washed away or solved certain amount of problems in wise way and we became happier than before!

Talked about not only family matters, but also about our future life, I made a proposal to live in the same nursry home, but not realistic, laugh??

We talked about the next singing concert here and practiced several pieces of songs we planed to pick up.

Next singing opportunity will be “Early Spring Concert” on the 1st of March.

Jan. 11th, ’26 Salon w/Salvatore family

The second fun gathering with Sarah family. I met Salvatore since November ’24. We sang together O surdato ’nnammurato.

I remember that Ali’s parents wanted to come to Japan and visited us last year. So I was, a kind of, waiting for their visit last year. I asked Ali “Did they come?” It’s so funny they didn’t come because they were so scared to fly over 🛫! We laughed out! It’s not an attitude of modern people. I hope we can see each other here soon! This is my another dream of this year!

The cultural difference between French, Italian and Japanese on how to define “the first week of XXX”! So interesting!! It was possible to do research as I had many friends.

September. 27, ’25 Salon w/Set

Unexpected fortunate which happened today was a fun salon/chattering with my dear friend Setsuko-san.

She came, had lunch together then sang various autumn songs with my piano! Was fun and released stresses we had(?) More on that we became wiser than before!!

She knew the song「月見草の花」, it was interesting for me, as I haven’t heard that song before my Komo-friend asked me to play.

Next singing opportunity will be “The Autumn Concert” on the 2nd of November.

March. 1, ’25 Salon

久しぶりのサロン風お喋りの会。気にしてたことについて相談したり、「声が出ない」と言いながら一緒に歌を歌い、私はピアノを弾いて、いい時間があった。お礼のメールは「この年齢になると楽しい話ばかりじゃないけど、めげずになるべく楽しくやりましょうね！」となった。

櫻田亮Akiraのイタリア歌曲を聴き、野ばら・早春賦・どこかで春が・朧月夜・・・。歌は楽しい、心を癒し・悩みからしばし心を解き放つ。
