magical link: Fukushima Mon Amour
2016年 12月 21日
After meeting with a composer Shoichi Yabuta at Katsushika Symphony Hills for my upcoming annual concert on 26th, I went to a shop for koto and shamisen in front of the hall to adjust a ring of my new plectrum.
It was such a surprize to find there the words "Fukushima Mon Amour" on wall after while talking with the owner and his son. It was their shamisen which was used in the film! They were also surprised to meet the first person who watched that film. They haven't watched it yet, and longing for the opportunity. They kindly tried to show me the exact shamisen but couldn't find out today and gave me tenugui towel they were given from the film team, of course the one without a sign from Kaori Momoi :)
At this timing, I just received the links below of our concert at Kyoto Villa Kamogawa of the Goethe Institut on 22nd October, in which I performed the musics from Fukushima Mon Amour with its great great composer and a pianist Ulrike Haage.
