L'épanouissement personnel
Thoughts and notes of a researcher in plant genetics and nutritional epidemiology in Japan and the U.S. with a wide range of interests - choral activities, photography, nature, travel, and drawing. L'épanouissement personnel means personal development and fulfillment. Still in the middle of it, enjoying the process. 農学部、酒類企業研究員を経て、米国ミシガン州立大学で博士過程を卒業後、植物遺伝学と食物疫学の研究に片足ずつつっこんでいます。趣味の合唱、自然観察、旅行、写真、絵描き、国際交流など、いろんな記録です。L'épanouissement personnelは自己研鑽、実現というような意味です。生涯に渡って一緒に旅する人生のテーマ。

指揮者の方へ☆サンクスコンサート Thanksgiving Concert for our retired conductor!
コンサートも楽しかった!60年間の活躍の後に引退された指揮者の方に感謝の気持ちを込めて催したコンサートでした🎶写真では椅子パラパラしかないけど、その後ろに大勢立って歌ってた(120名!)、しかも私は今回多くの曲を鑑賞者として聴く側になれたので、圧巻の歌声を特等席で浴びて、本当に音がシャワーのようにきらきら〜、パラパラ〜、と落ちてくるような感じがして感動でした✨🎶✨運営の方々ほんとに感謝ですわ〜
My choir had a concert last Saturday for our recently retired conductor who served for 60 years. There are only a few chairs in the picture of the concert hall, but actually 120 people were singing behind them during our performance! I joined them in some songs, but I got to listen to them right in front as audience for this time. I was almost blown away by the volume and the power of the voices, which filled the hall and then fell directly on me like sparkling shooting stars. Like a shower of musical notes.✨🎶✨ It was truly mesmerizing. I hope the conductor enjoyed the concert given by the choir that he started and grew with. Big thanks to the organizing committee as well 👏
