I’ll be at the concert at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space on August 16.

I’ll be on the orchestra.

It’s been a while since I appeared in a concert. I will perform as a member of the orchestra in this concert.

演奏曲目はValse3で演奏した[highlight]交響組曲『紅の豚』[/highlight]と、加藤登紀子さんとの共演による[highlight]『時には昔の話を』[/highlight]です。詳細は以下をどうぞ。

(Participation in this performance does not constitute participation in any political activity or expression of opinion.

Valse3 refers to the third concert of Orchestra Valse; it was held on May 25, 2014, and I performed as a member of the orchestra at that time.

Orchestra Valse is a non-profit amateur orchestra group of Ghibli music fans. The first concert was held on May 27, 2012, and we have held four concerts since then. Some of the members of this concert were members of the third concert back then, but it seems that there are quite a few newcomers to the group. It’s nice to have new musical friends.

Even though I’ve performed this song once before, I can’t underestimate the technical difficulties of the insert music from Red Pig. I think I need to practice more for the performance. I have to do my best.

I am also looking forward to the performance at the Great Hall of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space.

Plus: The Adriatic Sea and more

「紅の豚」といえば[highlight]アドリア海が舞台[/highlight]なので、ついでにアドリア海に面した景色や街の旅行写真でも貼っておきましょう。

First, the Croatian side.

雰囲気が出ているのは、トップ画像の再掲で恐縮ですが、この[highlight]「プリモシュテンの全景」[/highlight]でしょうか。クロアチアとは陸続きですが、アドリア海に浮かぶシマノ用で美しいです。

あと天気が悪くて残念でしたが、世界遺産にも登録されている[highlight]「トロギル」[/highlight]の旧市街はクロアチアの中でも特にお気に入りの街。

忘れては行けないのは[highlight]「ドゥブロヴニク」[/highlight]も。

Unfortunately we were not lucky with the weather when we visited this area, so we hope to revisit again.

Sorry I don’t have many pictures of the Italian side on the other hand.

I went to the tip of the heel of the Italian peninsula called Cape Leuca last year, so I’ll post about that. It’s just past the Adriatic Sea.

アドリア海は、イタリア側もクロアチア側も、白い砂浜というよりも断崖絶壁の絶景というイメージが強いです。
