I just couldn't forget the sound.

- Have you been practicing Japanese traditional dance for a long time?

"Yes, since when I was a child. I started in 5th grade, and continued for 15 years. Then I quit for a while because I got married.
I concentrated in raising my children, two of them. Now that they are married and on their own, my husband suggested I do what I want to, because, you know, we might only have 20 or 30 years left.

So I decided to pick up my old passion again. I just couldn't forget the sound and the feeling of Naga-uta songs, the notes, so distinct from any foreign music."
