🇯🇵Greetings from Japan!!!! Exclusive Sneak Preview!!!!!!!!🇯🇵

I'm in Japan!! Sorry, I didn't have the time to send out the newsletter last week, but it's been super crazy with shooting videos of all the interviews and visits that I will share with you all!!

Ms. Sarah Akiyoshi Interview in English!!!

I had an amazingly fun interview with Ms. Sarah Akiyoshi!! To my surprise, she wanted to interview in English, so nothing would be lost in the translation! Here is a snippet of her awesome interview.​

Super funny and informative interview with Ms. Tatara Toki!!

We went to Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden and shot the video in the beautiful outdoors!! I couldn't believe such an amazing oasis existed in the heart of Tokyo. She was extremely informative about shinobue, at times deep and philosophical, but extremely funny, as seen in this video! Don't worry, this will be all subtitled when I release the whole thing!!

Going to Aomori to see Bunta sensei and Mr. Shoji!!

I took this super cool looking Shinkansen to get to the Tsugaru region of Japan (Aomori prefecture). I left my mom's house at 6:00 AM and got there at noon.

Bunta sensei kindly took me to the Iwakiyama Shrine. This is the largest shrine in Hirosaki City (Aomori prefecture.) This shrine deeply connects with their fue (bamboo flute) culture.

Then Bunta sensei and I visited Mr. Shoji's shinobue class in a community center and met all the future shinobue stars!! It's so great that the Tsugaru region has a huge fue culture. It's not like this in my hometown of Yokohama.

I also visited a prominent Taiko store, Shioya Daiko, in Hirosaki. Here is the snippet of the video I took!

Visit with Shinobue Wako

I visited Mr. Tanaka of Shinobue Wako!! His shop is in Tokyo so it's really convenient! I got to play some super awesome shinobues there!! THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO PURCHASE ON MY WEBSITE SOON!!!!!!!

With Mr. and Mrs. Tanaka

I still have a few days left in Japan and hope to get more awesome stuff to share with you all!
