We experienced the most beautiful duets by Kiki and Kuku. Both of
them are excellent artists on their instruments. With a lot of humour
they made us familiar with the opera “Il
Barbiere di Siviglia”. Great Thanks to you!
-
Congratulations!! I am looking forward to listening to your
performance again.
-
What a wonderful sound of flute and clarinet ... there are only two instruments but somehow we
experienced the musical world of a full orchestra. I would like to
let my students listen to you, too. Please, make concerts in Japan
again!
-
Many happy returns to you, who are like a young couple in love!!

It was really jolly. I found that your flute and clarinet match very
well.
