Quebecoise shines as ‘minyo’ singer

(Read more at japantimes.co.jp)

She said she was surprised “because lots of people are really well-known in the ‘minyo’ (Japanese folk music) world and some of those who apply get refused.” She added that she is particularly unique, given that many of the members decided to pursue the path of traditional folk music in order to continue their family tradition.

Wearing traditional attire when performing songs or dances from northern Japan — where folk songs and festival music still thrive — in front of Japanese audience, her looks and masterful skills may be deceiving, as they give out no clues about her real origin.

non-fiction separation

Written at 04/11/16, updated and improvised today, 3/3/17

Last night I asked my sister about things I sually asked myself; ‘Ka, do you think he thinks of me? -Of course he does, you were with him all the time for those couple of months.’ Those words were really comforting.

Another question brims...

Will we ever meet again?

...which neither both could answer.

Those moments with you. Kedah was our platform. There, dreams really happened. Few wishes, granted. There I met a boy, who actually when I was seventeen I dreamed to be with. I, on the other hand, was somewhat out of this world to him. I remembered vividly how curious and astonsihed he was of me; a clean cut maiden, always dreaming and crusing with her longboard, finding and fixing her self trouble through rugby. We were the same age but different months apart. He had me from these eyes and also one that considered different in term of culture yet the same in lifestyle. I am always  eager to learn, appreciate and adapt the culture and language he lives in his entire being. Maybe that was the reason why he wanted to be a part of me; i was different yet the same to him.

Few wishes, granted. but, there is consequences. like the tale of Cinderella, her desire to head and enjoy the ball limits til midnight. Mine? Same. Time. Time separated us. Time was the barrier and putting us back to Earth. Dreams and reality have now aligned to its place. I often wondered why these things happened to me. We were dreams of each other and like any other dream, we have to wake up. I wake up and realised I can never be with him. As much as I wanted, cried for it, all is hopeless. We were in the end powerless.
