【予選1st 第15ブロックC】OTONOVA2023 - Participation Report (please continue to do your best)

Without music, life would be empty for me, so it is with great excitement that I approach the Otonova2023 competition and follow the doings of all the participating performers.

The course of the first qualification of this 15 C block was very interesting and exciting, as we could witness the confrontation of three extraordinary soloists and an ensemble formed by a group of students, representing different musical genres and artistic achievements.

Congratulations to all the performers taking part in the preliminaries of this block, especially 谷本哲也 ( Tetsuya Tanimoto) and 竹川友香子 (Yukako Takekawa) between whom it was a decisive duel.

Congratulations to 谷本哲也 (Tetsuya Tanimoto) for winning first place in the preliminaries of this block 🥇 Please don't stop giving your best in the future and continue to create beatiful songs like that will resonate with people's hearts.

I would very much like this beautiful harmony between the warm timbre of the voice and the delicate sound of the piano to reach as many people as possible. In this age of the ever-present Covid virus and the many sad news stories circulating the world, such music is sorely needed. Please continue your hard work - let this beautiful music resonate and give solace to all those in need. 

Congratulations to 竹川友香子 (Yukako Takekawa) for getting through this qualifying round with a second place🥈. Please keep giving it your all and continue to create original songs like 'Everythime I think of you' and conquer the rap world.

Congratulations 吉川奏太 (Souta Yoshikawa) on your participation in the preliminaries and please continue to give your best in the future. I am happy to have experienced your beautiful guitar (keyboard) playing along with your beautiful singing. Please keep up the passion.

Thank you Vibramode for taking part in Otonova. It's beautiful when friends share the same passion and make music together.

I ask that 谷本哲也 (Tetsuya Tanimoto)  and 竹川友香子 (Yukako Takekawa) do not relent in their efforts and give their best in the next stage of Otonova2023.
