Ms. Marino & Me(Gaspard Shinya Takei)

   She is a junior in the same high school as me. The 40th anniversary of the high school was held at my alma mater and I gave a commemorative speech. She was the musical director at that time and accompanied and arranged my songs as a tenor-solo. I also happened to know that she was a junior student at Toho Gakuen School of Music of my Vocalist and pianist wife, and we have been working together as artists.
