What is to live in Japanese neighborhood association?

What is to live in Japanese neighborhood association ? Orchestra musicians make a rehearsal in your bedroom. 自治会館に住む の生活といえば、音楽者は住むの部屋で演奏することだ! Had such a lucky chance to hear them playing and make sketches! 聞いてくれてとても嬉しかった! This is the rehearsal of the concert for cultural Festival in Iwase. 岩瀬自治会 文化祭のためにのコンサートでした。 They improvised Katusha and Tchaikovsky for me, when get to know that I'm Russian (^^) 彼らは私がロシア人であることを知ると、カチューシャとチャイコフスキーを即興で演奏しました! Couldn't finish cello at the time! Musicians, who played in Iwase neighborhood association, where I live, is from Chiba New Town Philharmonic Orchestra. Grateful to them. ほんとに、どうもありがとうございました!

Jazz concert

Jazz concert in Chiba University, Graduate school of Horticulture.  It was difficult for me to draw musicians at work. Moreover, many people around and public atmosphere can make me a little nervous too. I really admire sketchers, who draw "live" on the concerts! 

Wadaiko ( Japanese drum) show impressions

Capturing people in motion at Japanese drum show held in Tokyo. It is always challenging, could be a kind of bad manner to those performers...but this is how I keep the moments otherwise the motion and memories disappear just like seeing fireworks.
