“church” mini tour record / Awaji Island
Thank you for reading my previous article. The day after the concert at Shimei Kaikan, I headed to Awaji Island with the members of si-ki.
I would like to record my thoughts on the organ concert on Awaji Island while they are still fresh in my mind.
A concert in a place I had longed for
The stage for the performance was a wonderful inn called hitorigomori. It is located on a hill with the scenery of Awaji Island and the sea spreading out before it. The inn, which is based on the concept of spending time alone, is so cute and beautiful, and everything about it is wonderful... (I will probably write about hitorigomori in a future post as it might get too long.) Below are some scenes from the rehearsal and the day of the concert.
We were able to see a very beautiful sunset
The chirping of birds, the sound of the wind, all of nature seemed to be a part of the music
Every time the sound of the organ and the violin overlapped, I felt my heart tremble
We arranged the chairs in a circle around the organ and listened to its sound
A Polaroid photo taken by kino, whom I happened to meet. A treasure.
The morning session, the evening session, and the special performance at Nonki na Risu.
The three concerts were each wrapped in a different atmosphere.
What I felt most this time was the beautiful nature and peaceful air of Awaji Island, and above all, the kindness of everyone who cooperated at the venue, starting with hitorigomori, Kozorasou, and the owners and staff of Nonki na Risu. Every bit of their thoughtfulness and every word they spoke was truly kind, and all of us members were moved from beginning to end. I was also able to meet people I had wanted to meet for a long time, and it was a few days where I couldn't help but feel that it was good that this time happened at this moment. Thank you so much to everyone involved.
Through this trip and the organ tour, I feel that I have once again been able to see the kind of life I want to lead. I want to make this year a time where I face my own life little by little.
I want to remember this special time, which felt like a phantom or a dream, forever
