La Folle Journee Au JaponIshihara wrote:I have an item which I wish to promote and with respect to which I have a request. Namely, the "La Folle Journee au Japon" (Days of Enthusiasm) at the International Forum to be hosted by Tokyo in Yurakucho. This function will involve plenty of classical concerts from the major French city of Nantes. The concerts will be spread over a period of a few days, so that people who are partial to such music can go to listen at a time they like. This type of special event is a first for Japan. I am a little concerned that publicity for this classical music festival has been limited, but for those people who go to listen, I guarantee it will be an event run unlike anything before, and can be described a smorgasbord of classical music. I hope that as many of you as possible are able to attend.
