Another special event at the Kanreki was the invited guest, Mr. Ikutaro Kakehashi, CEO and Founder of Roland. I have been using the Roland KR-1070 Digital Electronic Grand Piano for my music compositions, and had completed my Japan CD. On this evening in November, I made the formal dedication of my CD to Mr. Kakehashi. Enjoy these photos. They have been reduced in size to download rapidly. This entire page takes only 2 mbytes of space! The photos really do not do justice to the magnificent event. I want to express especially my appreciation to Tetsuo Kondo for taking these photos! I am also grateful to Drs. Kuga, Okuda, Itoh, and Kondo for making all of the arrangements to have this one of the highlights of my life. Thank you! Domo Arigato!
PS. When I have a little more time, I will download some *.mp3 files of the music that I played that evening.
