Hello Everyone
Happy New Years 2006! Peace and prosperity be with you in this time! 2005 was an eventful year for us. A blessing! We held our climax wedding party in Bali. So now we really feel that we are married. It has sunk in. Hahaha! A little laugh for life and its unexpected directions. We also released our new C.D. for our wedding called Unity Loop which has been a big hit… We traveled from Kyoto japan, to Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Laos and back to Japan doing many performances and exhibitions…
Rie just opened a new exhibition which is now on tour… http://www.mandalaworldmusic.com/exhibitionkokenouta/exhibitionkokenouta.html
We feel very blessed by our good fortune. We are now living in Kyoto japan on a mountain in a beautiful 100 year old renovated three storie traditional House. For 2006 what is in store we enjoy dreaming about… We plan to go traveling this month. From Kyoto to Tokyo and off to Thailand. Eric will then go traveling in West Africa learning more african music and getting more ethnic musical instruments. Rie will return to Bali preparing for her upcoming exhibitions where Eric will meet up with her and do some more performances together at the openings. We then hope to go visit North America. It will be the first time for Rie to visit Canada the home country of Eric. In the fall we shall return to Kyoto and who knows from there… We hope to see you all along the way. You are all invited to visit us in japan when we return. We send out the warmest of greetings and Thank each and everyone of you for being a part of our lives in whichever way you are. We feel your support and honour who you are. Peace be in your hearts. May your dreams come true. Love Light and Laughter. One Love…
Eric & Rie
