March 10th: Ebisu Shakai Kyoikukan (Volunteer)

On March 10th we gave our first volunteer performance of 2013 at the Ebisu Shakai Kyoikukan.

This time, the stage was outdoors. At times the winds were very strong, but it was otherwise temperate and things went off without a hitch. We were very grateful for the warm reception we received, and to the staff at the Shakai Kyoikukan for inviting us once again this year.

Among the many spectators were a number of our team's loyal supporters who made the journey to come and see us. Theirs is a very important presence, which gives us an added incentive to improve our performance each time.

As our first performance in nearly 4 months, it was refreshing to get into costume once again, and all in all has put 2013 off to a brilliant start. We've all been training hard for this summer's festivals, and it's great we have this kind of opportunity off season to check how we're getting along.

I look forward to your continued support and encouragement throughout 2013.
