Chor OPEN SESAME
"HIRAKE GOMA"
Opening up a new world through chorus.
We are a group that plans choral events.
Started in 2023 based on this concept.
Cond. Keita Kubotera
Born in Odawara. Keita Kubotera began piano at the age of 6, chorus at the age of 9, and voice at the age of 15. He graduated from Kanagawa Prefectural Yaei High School's Music Course with a major in piano. After studying harpsichord at Ueno Gakuen University's Music Department, after He graduated from the same university's Music Department with a degree in vocal music.
He has studied voice under Taeko Kuwabara and Nobuaki Yoshida.
His choral studies Odawara Children's Choir and Mulberry Chamber Choir, after he has continued her choral studies with various choral groups in the Tokyo metropolitan area. He has participated in the All Japan Chorus Competition six times.
While in University, He was an alto soloist in performances of Kodaly's "Missa Brevis" and Handel's "Messiah," among others.

Although I said that, I actually don't really know who I am. Lately, I've been having trouble deciding what to say when someone asks me, "What is doing?" This may be due to the mysterious career path of majoring in piano, harpsichord, and then vocal music, but the most common job now is playing the piano, followed by recording and videotaping concerts. He has a regular driver's license, a teacher's license (middle and high school music), and a Class 2 electrician qualification, but it goes without saying that this makes things even more complicated. The qualification he wants to obtain now is to become an amateur radio operator.
The anime that has had the most impact on my life so far is the "Yuki Yuna Is a Hero" series. She is such an avid fan that she goes on pilgrimages to sacred places such as Kan'onji, Marugame, and Sakaide in Kagawa Prefecture. Of course, her regular lodging is the Wakamatsuya.
My favorite food is Machida Shoten's ramen. However, please note that this is not a Iekei lineage, but an Ichikei lineage. She is of course a gold member. The basics are hard noodles and lots of oil. I want to add flavored eggs. Rice is a must.
My favorite drinks are Monster Energy (green), Hey Song Sarsaparilla, Root Beer, and Dr. Pepper. I'm just having a hard time finding a comrade who likes Hey Song Sarsaparilla. If you like Salonpas-flavored drinks, please contact us. Let's go to Taiwan together.
My favorite airline was ANA until last year, but I switched to JAL at the beginning of this year. Please understand the reason. A few days after this concert, I will be traveling on a JAL international flight to Taiwan, Hong Kong , Shenzhen, and South Korea.
My beloved car car is Toyota Town Ace. Although I calls it my beloved car, I often bumps it. I thinks side view mirrors are meant to be hit. After repairing it, I painted the fenders and hood black. Although it is sold by Toyota, it is manufactured by Daihatsu. Need I say more? By the way, the country of manufacture is Indonesia, so technically it is an imported car.
Even though I often bumps my car, but I have never had an accident that caused any bodily injury, and I have never been stopped for a violation since I got my license, so I have a gold license. Although he drives 20,000km a year, I maintains a gold license, so he's probably a real good driver.
I got into a traffic accident while riding in a taxi in Taiwan. Fortunately, I escaped with only a mild whiplash, but will he be able to continue to conduct until the end?

Chor TAMAYURA
Chor TAMAYURA was established last summer with the desire to remove all barriers of position, work, and age and simply enjoy choral singing.
We practice twice a month on Friday nights in Kawasaki City. Another feature of Chor TAMAYURA is that you can experience a wide range of music, from songs sung in music classes at Japanese junior high schools, to anime songs, and new works. If you have any trouble singing, or if you are a beginner, you can take private lessons from voice trainer Masumi Nemoto. We also do our best to support beginners in chorus!
We are still a new organization, so we are looking for people to join us. I look forward to meeting your color!

Chor INTEGRALS
Chor INTEGRALS is formed in 2018 at a certain family restaurant in Shin-Yurigaoka. In the same year, they made a shocking debut at the Kanagawa Prefecture Choral Competition finishing unanimously in the bottom. Currently, members come from within and outside the prefecture to practice, sacrificing their Saturday nights.
In addition to participating in competitions and choral festivals, they will hold our third concert in the fall of 2023, with the same rush construction as usual. Dreaming of becoming a large-scale choir, they appeal to every energetic young man, and have made a name for themselves as Kanagawa Prefecture's dubious male choir.
Although it was called the Integrals, it was impossible to integrate the potential because it was full of liberal arts students, but recently there are many science students, so it may be possible.
Cond. Yuto Imai
Yuto Imai was graduated from Waseda University, after completed graduate school at Tokyo University of the Arts. Studied conducting with Dénes Szabó and Kota Yanagishima. His choral music is influenced by Tatsuaki Iwamoto, Keiichi Shimizu, Naoto Aizawa, and Yosuke Mashimo.

Currently, he conducts about 10 groups from children to senior groups mainly in near Tokyo. He conducted Kanagawa Prefectural Ebina High School and won the gold medal in the high school division of the 77th and 78th Kanto Choral Competition.
From 2020, he has been appointed as a director of the Kanagawa Prefecture Choral Association, a member of the management committee of the Kanagawa Choral Conductors Club, and a vice president of the Aso Ward Choral Association.
