| [Event report] We held an offline meet-up with Tenmon-san as a guest in the conference rooms and practice rooms of the Muza Kawasaki Symphony Hall, as well as a bar in the same building. As White Day was approaching, the organizers handed out sweets, and Ain-san brought some Chiba's famous confectionery, "Hanakko". The morning session (10:00-11:30 in Conference Room 2) featured a quiz competition and tea party. Starting at 10:00, the planned preliminary round was 75 questions, followed by 25 in the final round. However, due to time constraints, only 40-50 questions were asked. Tenmon-san also participated in intro quizes and multiple-choice quizes about his own music . As Tenmon-san arrived a little late, Yamadori-san and Kisumi-san won by a narrow margin. Tenmon-san presented the grand prize, a clear file set featuring director Shinkai's early works. After the quiz, we watched part of the DVD movie "log off"(songs composed by Tenmon-san), which Yamadori-san and Kisumi-san had brought. We also had the opportunity to speak with Tenmon-san privately afterward. Before the morning and afternoon sessions, Tenmon-san played songs like "Voices of a Distant Star" on the street piano on the first floor, reverberating through the open atrium and into the lobby in front of the hall on the fourth floor. Before the afternoon session (1:30 PM - 4:20 PM, Practice Room 2), Tenmon-san played a grand piano performance, and. the session began with a medley of Tenmon-san's works by fans. The organizer played the violin to a pre-recorded piano performance (by the organizer and Taka-chan @Kyouju). The organizer also played the violin to a pre-recorded piano performance of "A Moon Filled Sky" by 215 (Niigo). Afterwards, after a greeting from the organizers, each participant introduced themselves. Afterwards, Yamadori-san and Kisumi-san, who has known Tenmon-san for a long time, served as moderators and conducted a guest talk covering everything from Tenmon-san's upbringing to stories behind each of his works. Participants then gave speeches of gratitude. Before the social gathering, Tenmon-san once again performed one of his compositions on the street piano in front of the venue. He even performed a completely impromptu performance. At the social gathering (17:00-19:00, Kuimonoya Wan Kawasaki West Branch), participants presented him with a thank-you card. After a candid conversation, Yamadori-san and Kisumi-san presented Tenmon-san with a bottle of his favorite whiskey. Four levels of whiskey prizes had been prepared and he kept them all in the end due to his performance in the quiz competition. It was a luxurious and special time just to be able to witness Tenmon-san's wonderful performance. It was also a very enjoyable and wonderful time that helped me to deepen my knowledge of Tenmon-san's music. During this project, I learned some of the pieces listed as Tenmon-san's works on the fan website and the Denso Orchestra website were not his works, which was a learning experience. (We will correct them in the future.) Thank you so much for coming, Tenmon-san. Thank you to Yamadorisan and Kisumi-san for all your hard work to entertain Tenmon-san and the meetup participants. I hope we can hold another meetup like this at Muza Kawasaki. Written by Moka |

| [Event report] We held an offline meeting at Yotsuya Hiroba for the first time in four years. Since Halloween was coming up, the organizer handed out sweets, and Yasshi, who is from Hida Takayama, handed out sweets of Hida Takayama. The morning session was the first gathering of Tenmon fans, and was hosted by Amamin. The session consisted of two pillars, LT and Q & A with Tenmon. During the self-introductions, participants at the venue introduced themselves, and Haru from South Korea, who was participating on Discord, also sent a self-introduction message, allowing for two-way interaction. During LT, we listened to each phrase of Tenmon's works selected by the presenter (Moka), and Tenmon explained about the songs. After the offline meeting, Mr. Kishi pointed out that this content was insufficient. There were no LTs who jumped in, but we received a comment from Haru from South Korea saying that he didn't have many opportunities to watch Chinese anime, but would like to take this opportunity to watch them because the music of "Link Click" was so good. When we were talking about Chinese anime such as "Shiki Oriori" CWF produced, we received a message from Haru that he had watched "Shiki Oriori" on Netflix. During QA session, Mr. Amamin prepared slides for each question and answer sent by Tenmon, and read them out loud. In response to each answer, some participants provided supplementary information and others shared their impressions. This session was so active that some said that they would watch it later, listen to it later. (*I am sorry but we cannot introduce Tenmon's answers here, as he requested that his answers be kept only for offline meeting participants.) During the offline meeting, we also set aside time to watch Tenmon's performance videos. We were excited to see Tenmon holding an alcoholic drink called gasoline. During the lunch break, we introduced messages that Haru sent his impressions. I would like to show this message below and conclude my report about the 1st Tenmon Fan Gathering. It was a valuable offline meeting that allowed for exchange between Korea and Japan. Thank you for your participation. [Apparently, at the Makoto Shinkai fan gathering in Korea, there are a lot of young people, especially ones became fans of Makoto Shinkai from "Your Name" and even "Suzume no Tojimari". (I guess I am the oldest.) Therefore, Many people found "Suzume no Tojimari" interesting, seeked other works, and found the name of Tenmon.] [On the contrary, I think fans of classic PC games may be more familiar with Tenmon. This is because in Korea, until Japanese culture import was allowed in 1998, Japanese game animation was not popular. It was difficult to own a game console like Super Famicom(Super NES), and it was uncommon for games to be translated into Hangul, so it was difficult to play games like Final Fantasy. Additionally Koreans are very passionate about education, so we did not want to spend much money to buy game consoles. However, for some reason, there was a strong perception that computers were the future industry and computer knowledge was necessary to be rich. Because of that, there may be more people who have played The Legend of Heroes or Vantage Master than people who have played Final Fantasy. Well, of course, I don't think there are many people who are interested in the music composer. This is normal I think as there are very few people who can immediately answer who is the composer of the music for Super Mario, the most famous game in the world... I think it's like that.] Written by: Moka Click here for the afternoon section Tenmon-san's work study group" & "Suzume no Toshime Blu-ray release commemoration" offline meeting - History of offline meetings - Gathering for fans of Makoto Shinkai's works |
