2013.2.16

It was very cold today.
I went to massage in the afternoon in Yokohama (横浜) and went to the Orchard Hall in Shibuya (渋谷) to see Symphonic Concert 2012 Kei Ogla & Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra with my high school friends at night. It was consisted of two parts, starting 6 PM and ending 8:50 PM.  There were two guests, Ms. Peggy Hayama (ペギー葉山) and Mr. Tomio Umezawa (梅沢富美男).  This was the first time for me to go to this concert, but my friends had been to before. 
Mr. Kei Ogura (小椋佳) is a famous musician.  He used to be a bank clerk.  His talk was very interesting.  He said he is now 69 years old  and produced about 2000 songs though he can't play any instruments nor read or write notes.  Interesting, isn't it?  There are some hit songs.  He decided to retire at the age of 70 and will have four-day funeral concerts while he is arrive so-called seizenso (生前葬) September next year.  He will sing 25 different songs each day.  So he will sing 100 songs out of 2000.
We went to have dinner and celebrate one of the friend's birthday after the concert.
It was a nice day.
