Union Music Trainee tour in San Francisco in 2007

In April 2007, the Union interns went on an overseas performance tour in San Francisco, California, U.S.A. The first day was spent at a packed jazz club. On the first day, Yasuo Arai (Vo) & Yumi (Vo & P), Michifumi Ogawa (B), and Kazuo Masuda (Ds) performed on stage at a packed jazz club.
The accompanying trainees were invited to a home party at the home of jazz performer Gail Dompson, where they were invited to play, were treated to a feast, and had a blast. It was a wonderful event, and we received messages from all of them saying that they would like to participate every year if the tour was this much fun.
