Free Music and Good Sake in the Great Outdoors

What a lucky person I am! My hair stylist Kyoko in NY introduced me lovely Japanese lady Chieko-san yesterday at the concert in Central Park. Chieko-san’s husband Satoshi-san is double bassist of NY Philharmonic! So, we got VIP tickets! Arigato~~Chieko-san! Satoshi-san, and of course my lovely friend Kyoko~!!

We got a nice spot on the green, and of course had nice sake in the bag and some snack. We were so excited to talk before the concert, but suddenly we got ready to concentrate for the concert when we heard musicians’ tuning. It reminded me when I was in brass band of high school…. I was a percussionist. (Now, I’m drumming only my belly, though! Ha)

We were sipping beautiful Daiginjo in the beautiful classic music…. The night’s sake was Nanbu Bijin Daiginjo which is a gift from the brewery when I visit there this spring. How luxury the night was!

Next surprise was fireworks!! It was soooo beautiful!!! They were not hidden by buildings at all!!! It was my first perfect fireworks in NY!!

Then……..we moved to Chieko-san’s home for drinks. Then next surprise! We saw super old and, of course, super expensive Satoshi-san’s double bass!! (There were two basses, but one was not his own bass he said.)

The beautiful music, amazing fireworks, good sake, and lovely couple…. I felt so much love from them last night.

Thank you for unforgettable beautiful night!!
