O Happy Day!

Tomorrow I'll be singing with chorus group called the Flower Baskets. We are singing in Naramachi Onjokan  奈良町音声館　from 2-2:45pm.  (Its a 15 minute walk from Kintetsu Nara Station.) The concert is free so if you live close - please stop by and enjoy the sounds of Japanese and English music.

Practicing all the Japanese songs feels like I'm in a Japanese Music 101 class as I'm learning some songs that are soundtracks to movies (Seikai no Yakusoku) and other songs that the Japanese members learned in elementary school (Furusato).  We'll do some songs from English musicals like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and I Could have Dance All Night, too. I get to sing the solo for O Happy Day!  which is SUCH a wonderful upbeat song - we'll see if I can manage to get the words and notes right while clapping and dancing!  It promises to be a day of adventure with 7 other Japanese ladies.
