千葉ウィスコンシン協会５周年記念イベント
今日は、千葉ウィスコンシン協会５周年記念イベントで歌わせて頂きました。私の故郷を訪れた事のある人達やウィスコンシンで素晴らしい経験をした事のある人達が沢山いた事にとても感動しました。日本で、ウィスコンシンの人々がとても良い印象だと知ったら、大喜びでしょうね！日本では、ウィスコンシン州の事をあまり良く知られていませんが、今日のお客様は例外で、沢山の方が私の故郷へホームステイをしました。醤油で有名な会社「キッコーマン」は、ウィスコンシン州に大きな工場があり、ウィスコンシン州と千葉県は１９９３年から姉妹県（州）です。これから私は、ウィスコンシンと千葉県の交流の架け橋となるよう努力して、千葉県民やウィスコンシン州の素晴らしい人々、温かい皆さんがもっと親しくなれるといいですね！千葉ウィスコンシン協会の素晴らしいフェスティバルのご成功おめでとうございます。On Wisconsin! 明日は、飛鳥２への出演のため、ドイツのロストックへ向かいます。ボン・ボヤージュ
Today I performed at the 5th. Anniversary of the Chiba-Wisconsin Festival at Chiba University. It was amazing for me, as someone originally from Wisconsin, to meet so many Japanese people who have visited my home state and had such a wonderful experience there. The people of Wisconsin should be really happy to know that they have such a great reputation in Japan! Many Japanese do not know a lot about Wisconsin but today's audience was an exception with many people having even done a "home stay" in my home state. Kikkoman, the Japanese Soy Sauce company has a large factory in Wisconsin and Chiba has been the sister-state of Wisconsin since 1993. Today I felt that I have to do all that I can to be a bridge between Chiba and Wisconsin and I will do my part to bring the great people of Chiba prefecture and the great folks in Wisconsin, even closer together in the future! Thank you to the Chiba Wisconsin Association for a fantastic festival! Tomorrow I am off to Rostock, Germany to perform on the Asuka II World Cruise. Bon Voyage!
