Postman live concert in Iceland
Mr. Ryoichi Higuchi performed live here in Iceland on 4th-6th October. He came here to deliver "a Letter, to the dearest children". He names his concert as a Postman's Live.
The message goes like;
"As getting older, I can do and remember less and less things. But please, do not be annoyed and accept me how I am changing. Like I gave you my hands when you start walking, please give your hands to me when I have difficulty to stand up. Like I read you your favorite story again and again, please listen to me, even if I repeat the same story again and again. It is not sad thing. I am just preparing for my departure. So please take your time and accompany me on my last days."
Iceland is the first country abroad, that Mr. Higuchi wanted to deliver this message.
In order to deliver the message correctly, both the sender and the receiver have to share the common background and understanding. The words alone cannot necessarily deliver the message, correctly.
But I am certain, his message was well delivered to Icelandic People, since you value the importance of the family ties, too. You keep your ties between the Father/Mother and children in special way here. When you ask the 'last name', you ask "Who is your father?" don't you? To me, it is very unique way to confirm the family ties.
It was an excellent choice of Mr. Higuchi to choose Iceland as the first country abroad to deliver this message, wasn't it?
Mr. Higuchi's song was delivered together with the guitar. And our proud Guitarist was Counselor Uchida, from our Embassy. We, the Embassy, assist to deepen the good relationship of two countries, in many different ways!
