Watch out, Ellen Degeneres...

Today, I finally got my hands on a copy of the video from our jazz concert at the shrine, so if you'd like to see it, it's here at the end of this post.

Before the concert, I was super nervous because I knew that I would have to emcee between the songs in Japanese, but luckily, emceeing turned out to be no problem at all.* In fact, the day after the concert, I got a call from one of the softball men. He told me that he was really impressed with my little spiel in between songs and thought I sounded just like the hosts at the Oscars or the Emmys.

heh heh heh :D

*You'll probably notice that the audience laughs hysterically after every single thing I say...even if it wasn't supposed to be funny. I assume that this is a good thing, although maybe there was a bit of broccoli stuck between my teeth or something??
