Sword of the Far East

In March we had the wonderful opportunity to see our favorite Okinawa Rock Violinist, Ayasa, perform at Mod’s Live House in American Village. We were first introduced to Ayasa’s music at a free summer concert in American Village back in 2009, when she was working on her “Aria Asia” project.
This year she has been working on her new project entitled, “Sword of the Far East.” When we found out she was going to be in our area again, we jumped at the chance to see her perform. We were shocked to see signs saying that the concert was sold out when we arrived an hour early. We were so close! I walked over to the gentleman attending the merchandise booth outside of the club and with a lot of smiling and halted Japanese, managed to ask if the concert really was sold out. I think he took pity on me and my 6’6” hubby and he got us in. Pretty cool!
Can I take a moment to add that having such a tall hubby comes in great handy for photo-taking at concerts?! He’s quite literally over a head taller than everyone else and can easily get some great shots!
Including a photo where she is truly looking right at the camera during the concert!
And she was an absolute doll to meet afterwards! We stood in line to get her autograph on her new CD. When she saw Brandon, she excitedly exclaimed, “I saw you!!!” Brandon was so much taller than the rest of the audience that whenever she looked our direction, she could easily make him out above the crowd. Very fun! Both of them were quite peached!
The concert was amazing, and we liked the venue, as well. If you ever get the opportunity, we’d highly recommend watching her perform live! We’re big fans of her CDs, too!
And I’ll close with a video Brandon took at the concert:

Fun! Not too many concerts like that around here. Glad you had a good time and I'll be sure to invite Brandon to our next concert event so we can clearly capture the event on video.
