"Song of Joy" dedicated to the statue of a heavenly woman - Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi

[Vickie] January 8, 2013 08:30

Everybody, I'm a correspondent, Vickie. We look forward to seeing you again this year!

 

By the way, as I have already talked about last year, I went to listen to "Ninth" because of the end of the year ... However, it is not fashionable to the Suntory Hall, but to cultural center while visiting the museum.

 

I visited Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi. The annual "Mitsukoshi Ninth" is held in the central hall on the first floor, and this is the 28th time this year.

 

2 performances from 12:30 and 14:30. When I arrived a little before 14:00 in line with the performance at 14:30 ... The seat was already filled. You can see how popular it is. But Vickie went to the third floor to shoot a wonderful whole picture. There is still room here, and get the best position in front! While waiting for about 30 minutes, a ladies of Mitsukoshi fans who came next to me (it seems that they come every year!) I have a fun conversation with you.♪

 

Well, this is the masterpiece of the chorus. It's Osako power that beats the statue of heavenly woman!

The chorus squad of over 200 people, including the wonderful soloists of soprano, alto, tenor and bus, is the Taito Ward Chorus.

 

In the meantime, the hall on the first floor was full of standing customers, and the balconies on each floor were filled with a large audience.

 

It was about 30 minutes to taste, but it is true that Mitsukoshi can enjoy such a wonderful ninth for free. We exchanged a wonderful greeting with a lady next door saying, "Let's meet here again next year," and we were able to finish 2012 with a very warm feeling!
