Yoriai 2007

I had a show on Sunday with Urara 6. We sang three songs at an annual event in Kita-Senri called Yoriai, where a huge number of amateur a cappella groups gather to perform, network, and enjoy the spring air.



Our performance was well-received. Our set was much tighter than it was last year, and I think we delivered a lot more energy than most of the Japanese groups. And really, it's hard to ignore the music and talk with your friends when Kern is rockin' the house with "Signed, Sealed, Delivered".



I've still got a lot of work to do on my solo, and we have some new songs in the pipeline for our upcoming summer concerts. On top of that, both Urara 6 and Osakapella are in the middle of recording projects, and I recently started taking voice lessons! Busy busy busy.



It sounds like we'll be taking some time off from performing after our summer shows are over, though, so things won't continue at this intensity forever. We need to make some time off for group bonding, I think. Personally I'm recommending paintball, although the ladies don't seem to be quite so enthusiastic about that suggestion. ;)
