Union Music Trainee Costume play tour

　Union Music conducts its annual Cosplay Tour every year. Since 1998, each tour has been well received and the number of participants has increased each year.
　Cosplay is a form of masquerade, and is not the same as a masquerade ball. It is an opportunity to get away from the stress and strain of work, to get away from one's normal self, and to dress up as the person one wants to be.
For musicians in particular, it allows them to express themselves to the fullest without embarrassment or telegraphing.
The same is true for those who are engaged in general work.
It is important to get away from yourself.
　If you don't have these opportunities, attend a union cosplay. Gain confidence by getting out in front of people at a fast drive-in.
Even something as simple as this is necessary for a long life. I am even into it now. I can't wait to see what this year's participants will wear next year.
　The Heavens Four Supporters Association also participated this year. So next year, we decided to invite the general public to participate as well. Of course, you can stay overnight in Karuizawa and listen to Jazz. You can also join the sessions. (By the way, the party at night is all-you-can-drink.)
