Thank you for inviting me to your wonderful community.
I was very honor to be there and could share my/our Taiko history for everyone who joined "Matsuri".
First of all , I have been thinking we Tateishi Family should come together. This is not negative thinking. This is the hope , I will come Santa Fe with my families someday soon.
Thank you for your support "Matsuri", Mr Tadahiko Yamaguchi
残念ながら見ていただく時間がありませんでしたが、次の機会が必ずあると信じております。
山口主席領事が多くの時間をかけて、この日本の文化行事である『祭り』を応援してくださっていることがスピーチから聴こえてまいりました。これからも西南地区の日本文化への温かいご支援をお願いします。
Thank you for support Japanese activities, Mr Davis Begay
I believe you are always beside us , Japanese community. Your smiles are the power of our Japanese souls. Your continuous support is our sun-shining. It's is made us stand ourselves like vitamins.
Thank you Jon, you were so kind and gentle all the time.
I know you sent lots of time and money for me.
I got good sleep at the hotel except "5:30 Alarm" every morning.
Backing me for good performance.
ありがとうございました。Satoriさん
全体をまとめるのは多くの苦労があると思いますが、ほんわりとまとめたり、厳しく言う時には言う、さとりさんの人柄が、『まつり』の会場全体に浸透していたように感じました。
今年の秋まつりは9月の12,13です。 これも何かの縁なのでしょうか? 是非いらして多くのことを感じてください。
パーティーではおしゃべりしすぎました。さとりさんは人の中身を引き出すのも上手ですね。しかもしっかり理解してくださり、他の人たちへわかりやすくお話してくださり、とても中身の濃い時間を持てました。
Thank you Stephen to drove me for Santa Fe. I had a good time to talk with you in Japanese. Your world Backpack tour was so amaze. That was gorgeous than our Ondekoza tour.
And I was quite free from care about my English even I didn't call you.
Please travel east Asia again, and watch and feel them and talk to me the differences soon.
Thank you Kartar , Keita and Kaz
10,000 was more than 1 million!!!. Because of you are working there.
Your energy is the evidence that the place can be made people happy and healthy.
I thought I would like to work with you at there.
Thank you Sharon and Larry,
That party was the best of my life. I hope it's not only me. I ate and drank too much, especially too much talking. Because the foods was delicious , tasty requested Chardonnay (transport sweet to dry) and with wonderful JIN members.
Now I'm eating your homemade cookie and type this mail. It's taste like Santa Fe.
Thank you Madi and Ishi
You said Mari but everybody knew you as Madi, right.
We did't have much time to talk. But I have your works here. It's so beautiful and so native.
These musics are made by only pure hearts. Especially 7th song Tanabata.
I would like to join your natural music.
I attache one recording for you. It was recorded by my son Sohshun at age of 5.
We did't have much time to talk with you. but I had much time to talk with your daughter, Ishi.
She is so cute and smart. Her eyes are speaking wonderful words same as your eyes. Ishi knows my history. Let you ask her about the tour of Ondekoza what I made to run perimeter of USA.
Thank you Taiko lovers,
I'm a Taiko drummer. But if I don't have Taiko Drums, I am a man. Your Taiko Drums are made me a Taiko drummer. I got feel that Taiko groups and people were struggling . It's very good time to rebuild the Taiko community in Santa Fe. But don't forget the original passion and philosophies. New members have to know the original. The original means people, teachers , songs and the nature earth.
I hope you create a Katsugi Okedo song and perform with me!
Thank you for everyone who work and join Matsuri.
Please keep this wonderful opportunity forever.
And please visit Bellevue and Seattle someday.
2nd annual "Bellevue World TAIKO Festival" will be held in January, 2016.
18th annual " Aki Matsuri" will be in September 12 and 13, 2015
See you soon.
Best,
Ringtaro Tateishi
