Participated in "German Christmas Market in Tsuzuki 2023".

　The "German Christmas Market in Tsuzuki 2023" was held on Saturday, December 9 and December 10 (Sun). This year, which was the twelfth event, was completely different from the chilly last year, and a very large number of visitors came in warm weather that could not be seen in December.
　At the venue, in addition to opening food and beverage booths such as German sausage and grew wine, stage performances by artists related to Tsuzuki, sales of Lepekuchen and workshops on Advent Crants, etc. The venue was colored with very varied contents.

　I performed on the second day's stage performance, "Cheers in German", and greeted the local people, and "Song of toast" with German Gakuen officials and commercial promotion associations. I sang. I feel that being able to sing both German and Japanese lyrics not only on stage but also in both German and Japanese lyrics was a communication for mutual understanding between Japan and Germany.

　In addition, as a first attempt this year, in cooperation with Toin University of Yokohama, I was in charge of sales of merchandise booths, organizing and guiding queues lined up at eating and drinking booths, and providing guidance at the garbage station. Thank you very much for your great success for the smooth event management. I would be very pleased if students could be involved in the management of this event, which is loved by the community, will be a source of food for the future.

　Thank you very much for being able to hold this event at Centerkita Station Lawn Square with the cooperation of many stakeholders every year.
　Going forward, we will continue to collaborate with local residents and German schools and German companies to promote multicultural coexistence from Tsuzuki Ward  , which has a deep connection with Germany, and to create even more buzz in the region.
