Memorization and practice of Nanko (nagauta shamisen) with oozatsuma solo

Wrap-up

Being a part of the Kineya-katsu performance at Kabukiza was incredible.  I remembered how fun it is to play shamisen with the ensemble, I did much better this time in my oozatsuma solo, and I realized how much it means to the other players that someone from LA goes there to perform.  I was surprised how much I appreciated having Minh there... without Hiro there, or anyone else from the US, it would have felt like it didn't happen.
