高校のころ、津軽三味線のカセットテープをたまたま買って、で、好きになりまして、で、30代後半ぐらいに思い切って、津軽三味線を習い始めました。今は、夏祭りとか演奏会で月に1回ぐらい演奏しています。
During high school, I happened to buy a cassette tape of tsugaru-shamisen music (Japanese music using the instrument shamisen from Tsugaru Peninsula, Aomori Prefecture) and came to like it. When I was in my late 30s, I took the plunge and started studying tsugaru-shamisen. Now, I perform about once a month at concerts during the summer festivals and such.
