koharu's brother, their parents and I stayed
in Kawaguchiko-machi for two days to enjoy music.

We enjoyed two days' open-air concerts
at the Kawaguchiko Stellar Theater.
They were wonderful concerts.

On Aug. 18, we enjoyed Siena Wind Orchestra,
conducted by Sado Yutaka--
African Symphony by Van McCoy,
1812 Festival Overture by Tchaikovsky,
Japanese Enka medley, etc.

All the audience stood up and enjoyed stepping
to the music of Mambo No 5 by Perez Prado.
Everybody was excited.

On Aug. 19, yesterday, we enjoyed Beethoven's
The Symphony No. 9 "Choral"--all movements from
beginning to the last. We sang that famous part of chorus
--all together.

Watching the conductor, Sado Yutaka, on the stage,
I could not hold back my tears. I sang with happy tears
in my eyes.

Sado Yutaka is a wonderful conductor.
His way of conducting an orchestra fascinates the audience.
We all understands how deep his love for music is.

My family and I greatly enjoyed two days' concerts
at the Kawaguchiko Stellar Theater.
