I think this will be the first time I'll post a video of me as a performer.

Last June 2011, the Manila Composers Lab organized a concert for the Japanese fellows of the Asian Public Intellectuals (API) in support of the still-ongoing crisis in Japan, and I was asked to play the Japanese koto. I saw this piece fitting for the event (although not with my current condition, as I have just returned to koto playing after months of not even touching the koto), for we all have this desire to overcome all our trials, soar way above them and be free, just "like a bird".

Regarding my playing, I still have a lot to develop and learn. Please bear with the mistakes. :)
