Because I just loved piano music.
Now I have an interested in the rock music.
It’s much different style of play than I was used to.
It's strange sound for me.
But somehow I feel my spirit emerge.

Last month, I did singing lessons for a musical.
The musical featured as many as 20 of popular rock songs.
In the first lesson, each young actors told me,"I am so worried. It is so difficult to sing!"
But they could make rock musicians very attractive on the stage.
The songs really moved me.
I think they have good spirits.

What is the rock music?
There are so many opinions about it.
But I am sure the actors broke free from genre of music.

Including Saturdays and Sundays many people have more than a week of holidays at this time.
This year, everyday was too nice to stay inside during Golden Week.
So, I went to the National Garden "Shinjuku Gyoen".
It was hard to imagine that I was in urban area, Shinjuku.
Because I saw so many trees and flowers like a picture-book forest!
I appreciate knowing that Shinjuku has such a great oasis.
If you come to Tokyo, why don't you visit to the Shinjuku Gyoen?
You'll love Shinjuku!

Cherry blossoms (we say"sakura") are blooming now.
The life of a sakura is short , that's why Japanese people enjoy looking at flowers around this time.

I went to the Imperial Place (Chidorigafuchi) with my friends after dinner.
Night viewing of illuminated flowers were very beautiful.
Flowers were reflected on the surface of the water.
It was like I was in heaven!
We enjoyed the fantastic night view so much.

ESP, I love ethnic costumes.
I have so many Sri Lankan sarees.
It's very colorful and elegant.
I can wear the saree by myself.
It's not so difficult.

But I don't know how to wear Kimonos:-(
It really is a shame that  I can't wear Japanese traditional clothes.
I hope to get a chance to learn about kimono-wearing sometime.

I am a musician,but I sell Sri Lankan curry spices:-)


7 years ago, I went to Sri Lanka to support NGO activities.
In Srilanka, Natural riches of the island and friendly characters of people really moved me.
I became a big fan of Sri Lanka.
I felt very much that I want to do something for Sri Lanka  because people were badly dameged by the civil war and Asian tsunami.
Since then I have performed Sri Lankan music in charity shows.
In addition, I have learned to make Sri Lankan curry and sold my original spices.
I have donated 100 yean from the sale of each spice to children's orphanage of Sri Lanka.
