Although I'm no orchestra player, I'd like to know if it's free to watch the rehearsals? I actually enjoy Japanese style symphonies and the way Tokyo string players play their instruments inspires some of my music too

Thank you for your interest. Are you someone who plays some kind of instrument? Can you tell me?

You're welcome! I used to play a trumpet, but that was long ago. However, I'm a music producer/composer and I make whole pieces in FL Studio. I typically make a unique style of trap, as well as anime OPs/EDs, j-rock, j-pop, j-disco, cinematic soundtrack (Japanese style as well) jazz, drum and bass, and much much more I even created a couple of my own genres. I prefer this over playing one or even a few instruments, since (provided my CPU allows it) I can make the biggest projects that comes to mind, just with a laptop, some headphones, and my brain. I create the lines for all instruments, as the composer, and as the producer I make everything sound the way I want to. I also mix/master, but my mixing skills aren't anywhere near perfect, so I don't typically talk about it.

Thank you for your interest.

Also, thank you for telling me your profile.

I respect you as a musician.

I'm very happy that you want to hear our performance.

The rehearsal is private, so you can't visit it, but if you don't mind, why don't you come to the concert?

I would like to invite you.

Thank you very much.

I'm honored I would love to join for the concert, if there's still one to go to by the time I get in Japan.
I'm still living in America currently, but I'll definitely make it the first concert I've ever been to, if there's one next year past April!
