A romanticism

As I played the DVD of the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert held in Russia and listened to the music played by Mr. Idaki Shin, I felt a great romanticism of history and a wind passed through my heart. My narrations of poems about Russia sounded very appealing to my soul and made me feel gooseflesh. As I came to a poem about the sadness of being separated from compatriots my body was penetrated by a great shock that was followed by liberation from the grievances in the past and the joy of an opening of a completely new world that reunified every fellow. I trembled and was greatly moved. As I reached Café Akira at Roppongi to my wonder the same DVD was played and a scene of Russia was screened. I felt as if I were in Russia and anticipated something wonderful to happen that would pave a new way. Meanwhile I have been distributing leaflets of the coming Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert to be held in Tokyo, Ootsu and Kyoto and together with it I attached my letter with my photo taken at that concert held in Russia. The music by Mr. Idaki Shin was full of a romantic aroma of history and a birth of a new fantastic story. A new world became wide open before us and was brilliantly shining and impressed me while a declining world would never tell an attractive story and come to an end before long.
