I feel so lucky to have this great opportunity to share my music in different places, and communicate with people through music. I have posted some of the photos from there. Fortunately all of 4 […]
I saw “Top Spin” at Laemmle’s Preview Show in Pasadena. It is really fun! This documentary follows three young American table-tennis prodigies as they try to qualify for the 2012 Olympics. One of the three, a New Yorker named Michael Landers, started playing Ping Pong at the age of 2! He has been working very hard […]
I truly enjoyed their concert, especially the guitarist! Their programming was effective, and the way they managed the stage change was very smooth. They played solos, duets, and trios, and when one piece was over, the previous performer(s) stayed on the stage instead of exiting.

I went to listen Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra’s last concert of 2014-15 season, and the soloist was one of my favorite pianists, Jonathan Biss! He played Mozart Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major, and it was just beautiful. It was very thoughtful, yet very simple and sincere. Also it was joyful. He has amazing tone […]
First of all I enjoyed this movie deeply. It is well-written. We can experience the inside of Christian Dior’s fashion house, which has a long tradition. I love fashion, and I have a style I like to wear so the fashion is important to me. Frédéric Tcheng, a director of this movie, has great eyes emotionally […]
After seeing the recent movie about Seymour Bernstein, I read this book to follow. First of all I could not find the original book in English (of course!) so I checked out the book translated in Japanese at the LA Public Library. I must say the translation is not good unfortunately. The language is not […]
