Wow, this year’s Tokyu Silvester Concert was amazing.
Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance ended at exactly the right moment.
What a great feeling!!

So, Happy New Year.

I look forward to your continued support this year as well.

My customary opening tanka:

On a pure white peak
where dawn has not yet broken,
a flower once plucked
and admired—
no visitor comes.
