We're all still SO full and deeply moved by 's WARABE concert. What a magical, emotional time. 🎶

Even rushing from work or dashing out for evening meetings, it doesn't matter to us as long as we can see 鼓童 live on stage. You all are always a joy to experience.

お疲れ様でした、凄く感謝します!
気を付けて下さい! 🌱🌈💎
是非又サンディエゴに来て下さいませ!

Still in awe of what we experienced a few days ago at "WARABE" concert last week.

Late work hours and evening meetings considered, we'll always make time for 鼓童. What an inspiring and soulful body of art.

凄く素晴らしかったです! お疲れ様でした!
又サンディエゴに来て下さいませ! 🎶

🎍 Hello 2025! 🎍

There are many words to be said about 2024.

Lots of discovery.
Lots of hard conversations.
Lots of contemplation.
Lots of heartache.
Lots of laughter.
Lots of wondering.
Lots of healing.

And every unique moment that came our way was gently wrapped in vulnerability and wisdom, sometimes unbeknownst to us.

What's in store for us this year?
How well can we survive uncertainty?
Can we muster up the strength to continue to show up and be unapologetically ourselves?

Answers seem to be like the rarest of gems yet to be excavated.

But ya know?

The journey to the answers may actually hold less value compared to the richness of the experiences on the roads traveled together.

We may learn that no matter what the question, the quandary, the mystery may be, togetherness and kindness was and has always been the true point all along.

I'm so grateful.
I'm incredibly humbled.
With you all, I know I'm safe.

From the depths of my heart, thank you for showing up and being you. What a way to ring in 2025!

Maligayang bagong taon! 🎆
明けましておめでとうございます。🎑
今年も宜しくお願い致します。🍊
