It was a wonderful evening where the artists and audience were bond with love and togetherness.
Hard as it was to believe, Ichimujin and WeiWei Wuu had collaborated only once before in the past. Their respective performances brought out the best in each other, in all of the works which were very unique in their styles.
WeiWei Wuu-san even offered an crash course on how to play the ehru.
On stage, Yasuhito Udaka-san and Shunsuke Yamashita-san of ICHIMUJIN were her students, who both claimed it was their first time to touch the ehru. They proved to be very promising performers on the ehru, as much as on the guitar (Ms. Wuu mentioned that it was difficult even to make a decent sound at first)^^

The guitar duo ICHIMUJIN has become exteremely famous after their music "Ryomaden Kiko Theme" was used in the popular historical drama "Ryomaden". "Ryomaden" has started airing in Korea starting this January. ICHIMUJIN is eager to take on further challenges, and is planning to perform in the U.S. this year.

WeiWEi Wuu celebrates her 20th anniversary in Japan. She shared her memories with us of the day she arrived in Tokyo as a student - she was so lonely that she could not bear to stay in her apartment alone. So, she spent time in front of the liveliest place she could find in her neighborhood - which turned out to be a pachinko parlor! She expressed her feelings of support to the students from abroad who were part of the audience, wishing them the best of luck.
