Thanks for the Biggest Support

Last week, I had 2 of my biggest supporters, my dad and our family friend, Mr.Kato. They gave us donuts, Japanese sweets, cheese and crackers for all actors!! We all appreciate any support:) We went to Chicago after shows! It was a wonderful week for me! Both of them do not speak English a lot, however, they became friendly with our director, Dick, and artistic director Amber!! Body language is the most common language all over the world. 

先週は、父といつもご支援いただいている加藤さんがインディアナにショーを観に来てくださいました!!差し入れもたくさんいただき、キャスト、クルーも大喜びでした♪2人とも英語がペラペラな訳では無いのですが、ディレクター陣と仲良くなり、私のことを気にかけていてくれたようです😂私は、日本人として英語の発音も言語が違いすぎて難しく、中々話せずシャイニなってしまうこともあります。しかし、ちゃんと自分の気持ちを伝えようとしている2人を見て、コミュニケーションは発音じゃ無いと再確認しました!英語を話すのがおっくうになることもあるけれど、発音がなんだ!こっちは相手の言語を学んで話してるんだ!そっちは聞き取ることくらい頑張ってくれ!くらいの気持ちでどんどん英語を話していけたらいいなと思う素敵なひと時でした♪

Have a great day!!  Safe travel back, my dad and Mr.Kato!

Happy with me:)

Hi, this is Akira, or some of them know me better as Kiki. Kiki is my nickname that my mom and dad call me since I was born. I created my Web Site!! I would like to share my great moment in my life here:) I just graduated from University of Nebraska Kearney, and I did senior photo!  My Friends, Res Ito, Minori Yamauchi, So-Young Chun, and other great friends took them for me:) The cap is designed by Todd Thalken who is my lovely accompanist, and an owner of the best flower shop in Kearney, NE, Kearney Floral!! 

ブログ始めました!!(冷やし中華が日本では始まる頃ですねーわら)無事に4年でHonorsメンバーとして大学を卒業できました♪大学時代に支えあったお友達、廉さん、みのりさん、ソヨンらが卒業写真を思い出のあるキャンパス内で撮影してくれました^^ドレスは、声楽の卒業公演で着たもので、キャップはアメリカの大学の卒業式の正装です。
