音樂彈奏 / 直樹 Naoki

繼 ” 2006 為愛起飛” 演唱會之後，不斷有朋友問我何時再舉辦下一場。我知道我唱得不好，但看過演唱會的朋友跟我說，他們喜歡的是當晚的氣氛，喜歡這些非明星的真情演出。直到現在我仍對當晚所有參與演唱會的朋友充滿感激。

Since the “2006 Taking Off with Love!” Concert, my friends have been asking me when the next concert will be. I know I don’t sing well, but people who went to my concert told me that they enjoyed the atmosphere of the night and they liked the performance from those non stars. Even now, I’m still thankful for those people who participated in my concert.

演唱會之後，我在柬埔寨服務了一年，開始了解什麼是 ”窮苦”，知道自己是多麼的 “幸運”。這樣一年的經驗實在是個開端，我願意也期望繼續貢獻自己所長給需要的人。

After the concert, I worked in Cambodia for one year. I started to realize what “Poor” is and I understood how “Lucky” I am. The one year experience was just a start. I’m willing and hoping to devote myself to them.

2008 年我來到馬紹爾擔任志工，在這裡結識了一位日本志工 - 直樹，他介紹我小吉他 (ukulele) 這個樂器，於是開啟了我的 “ 音樂 “ 潛能。

I came to the Marshall Islands as a volunteer in 2008. I met a Japanese volunteer, Naoki, who introduced me to the ukulele. The ukulele inspired me to find my “musical” talent.

“ 佳莉跟我說，在柬埔寨有很多孩童沒有錢受教育。除了我自己國家 ( 日本 )以外，馬紹爾是我唯一認識的地方，這裡的情況是他們有錢、也有機會受教育。所以，我就對柬埔寨產生興趣，也希望能幫忙這場演唱會。” 直樹說。“JiaLi told me that there are many children who don’t have enough money to get education in Cambodia. In the Marshall Islands, it seems to me that they have enough money and opportunities to get education. The Marshall Islands is the only place I know besides my own country (Japan), so I became interested in Cambodia and would like to help the concert.” Naoki Said.

三年多前的夜晚，在今年七月可以得到延續，希望大家到時能抽空來聽聽我們的歌及我們的故事。

The night of three years ago finally finds a way to continue in this coming July. I wish everyone could come and listen to our songs and stories.
