BPM (Blind Musicians for the Blind) Support Group 20th Anniversary
Congratulations!

        It seems that this commemorative concert in Japan will be especially meaningful for us. We are very excited about the upcoming commemorative concerts in Japan, which will be especially meaningful for us. I have heard from Mr. Nakamura of the Music League that the November 23 concert at the Kyushu Kosei-Nenkin Hall will be a charity concert for the BPM (Business People's Musicians) Support Association and the raising and promotion of guide dogs for the blind. I am most proud that our Paul Moriah Grand Orchestra was able to play a role in this charity concert.

        It has been about 10 years since I last met the citizens of Kitakyushu, and I remember it with great nostalgia. I recall with great nostalgia that it has been about 10 years since I met the citizens of Kitakyushu. I remember that I was playing the piano as a member of the group at that time. Since then, I have often come to Japan for performance tours, and only about two years ago, I was finally entrusted with full responsibility as a leader or conductor by Paul Mauriat. Of course, I consider it my mission to give my best performance to your satisfaction.

        I would like to express my deepest respect to the BPM Support Group, a volunteer circle that has continued the aforementioned activities for the past 20 years. It is easy to imagine that there have been many twists and turns over the past 20 years. However, the most important thing is that in order for this type of citizen-participatory volunteer circle to continue, it is most desirable that the understanding and awareness of each person deepen and gradually spread to a wide range of people. In this sense, I am deeply impressed by the fact that all the people present at this event are wonderful people who understand the purpose of the aforementioned charity.

        Hopefully, this BPM support group will continue its activities for a long time to come, and we hope that one day we will have the opportunity to contribute to charity through our performances.
