THE LURE

Fisher-women, in the middle of the stream of many gentlemen in the River named Akasaka or Roppongi? Four well experienced professional singers allied to sing, not to fish together. When we speak about any female chorus group everybody imagines trio but this group has very rich, smooth and elegant harmony naturally as they are quartette and so planned. We have no doubt about their skill to weave delicate harmony of their own manipulating every note under their perfect control.

In 1999 INDIGO in Nishi-Azabu held third Christmas Party when Eriko Ohara, owner & resident pianist together with Michiru Maqui, legend idol wanted to present some setting to give big surprise to the party attendants and prepared a female vocal quartette as special devise. The devise, needless to say, perfectly worked as it was planned to attract every people there at that evening.

Listening to the ladies' superb harmony and subtle phrasing we were somewhat discouraged at what we could do on our own. The four males went, funny enough, out of their mind to have forgotten the fact why the amateur group can never do more.

Michiru is pleased to hear that Okko joined.
