On August 3rd, singer Kobayashi Sachiko (57) held a singing event to celebrate her 32nd year as a singer at the Nishinomiya Gardens shopping center in Hyogo prefecture.

Kobayashi enthusiastically sang three songs in front of 1,200 fans, including her 1979 hit song �Omoide Sake� and the song she recorded on March 11th (the day of the Tohoku Earthquake) called �Onna no Sakeba�.� �It feels like I�ve returned to where I began. I am happy that I can closely see the faces of all of my guests,� she said.

Commenting on the damage to her hometown in Niigata prefecture caused by the heavy rain, she appeared worried as she expressed, �I promise to bring rice to disaster areas from my own field after the rice harvest in October, but I do not know if this is still feasible.�
