Live music!

On Wednesday, Aichi Shukutoku Daigaku Bekka Ryuugakusei Band (in short: ABE Band) gave a concert! Out of the Band members, two are currently working part-time at JPNAVI: Jang (played on drums) and me (that is Kate, on vocals). Other band members were: Jieun (keyboard), Jerry (guitar, vocals), Jack (cello) and Yuuji (bass guitar).

Everyone at JPNAVI came to see us preform, we were really happy!


The idea of having a concert came from Jang. Because Jerry was returning back to America not long after our graduation ceremony, we wanted to make some nice memories together. So when Jang said that there is a venue where we could play we all agreed immediately!

However, as much as we were eager to practice, it was quite hard to find a time where everyone could come to practice. We tried practicing without drums or piano or base, but then it wouldn't really go well; when we met together we did much better than when meeting in parts.

I say meeting, but truthfully we didn't have that much practice. We started rehearsals about 10 days before the actual concert, and we managed to have about 4 rehearsals in total.
We sang 8 songs, and one of them was composed by Jerry; it's called 何かくれた事 (Things I received)

The concert was extremely fun, and I think everyone enjoyed it as much as the band did!
Here's a video, just to show you how fun it was :
