The Church in Japan: Bluegrass Again!
Morishige Noboru San, Paul, and Reiko at the Festival
This year, Mr. Mido from the New Life Church, and Reiko and I were able to once again attend the annual Takarazuka Bluegrass Festival. We got there just in time to hear the Christian Singer-Song-Writer, Morishige Noboru, singing at the center stage. Morishige San always sings original songs in Japanese that have a strong Christian and gospel message.
After Morishige San was done we stayed to talk with him and also to listen to some of the other music. As I have mentioned before, the themes in bluegrass tend to be Jesus, Sin, Salvation, and Heaven. As they are usually sung in English the message might not be getting through but I am always so happy to hear such songs being sung in Japan.I trust that there are those who understand English and also those who take the time to translate some of the songs.
At any rate, we had a wonderful time and I hope we can go again next year.
Paul
