Messages from Mother Earth concert

Today I held a Messages of Mother Earth concert in Tokyo and files of poems that I had spontaneously picked up last night without deep speculations turned out to be very suitable for today’s concert. One poem was created in my teens when I had visited Kyoto at that time while my recent poems were expressing a path for rebuilding a new nation from Kyoto that I have started since May in the year 2008. Though there were dozens of years of elapse of time they were full of historic meanings and romanticism. Because internal condition of a person dictate one’s outer situation I was grateful to be able to held my poetic event as it opened up a new world. Also these days I have narrated poems created on the spot on stage in a Messages from Mother Earth concert that I had started out of my deep wishes since childhood. I dreamt about improvising poems and narrating them in front of an audience. A deepest wish of mine has been realized sooner or later in my life and I owed this to Mr. Idaki Shin who accepted to play the piano together with my poetic narration. In this concert, music, my poems and video projection were all created on the spot and were works of improvisation. Also as an event of NPO KOMA, many volunteer staff members collaborated to hold an event with minimum expenditure and time. I realized that precious experiences from the Idaki piano counseling courses have made every staffer work in a very rapid manner.
