The rehersals for the brand new concert at this year’s EC, “Seasoned Quintet,” are making progress, a bit by bit. Performers are polishing up a new tune that will be premiered at the concert on Aug. 24. It’s been a while since Yoshie Abe appeared on stage last time, but the guys will drum away as usual. This time, however, there will be shamisen and fue tunes too. The stage design is a must see. We look forward seeing you!
