Dear Minami Circle Friends
I have just enjoyed the photos of the Welcome Party -I can tell that you all had a very nice time.
I would have liked to join you as I really enjoy the sound of traditional instruments.
I hope that lots of new foreign ladies have joined the group and that you will all enjoy interesting
meetings while also experiencing the warm and friendly atmosphere of the Minami Circle.
Best wishes for the year ahead, Diana 2009/9/26 (Sat) 02:33:35

At the Welcome Party almost 90 participants enjoyed a performance on the Shamisen by a young
musician, Shishido. The sound appealed strongly to us.I am very happy that Minami Circle started
out for the current year very well.Y. Kawamura 2009/9/27 (Sun) 10:11:24
