Composer Mamoru Samuragouchi held a press comference.

Last month, Japanese composer Mamoru Samuragouchi's "Ghost Writer", Niigaki held the press conference and he spoke the secret about Mamoru.

Mamoru is known as a deaf composer. People called him Japanese Beethoven. Japanese people loved him, and he is a star, because he is deaf, but still able to compose. 

Niigaki said in the conference,  "Mamoru can't compose, Play the piano, or any instruments. I have composed all the music for him for 18 years"

This shocked people, and lots of his fans were sad. 

On last friday, Mamoru himself finally spoke about it. 

His conference was different to Niigakis. 

For example, Niigaki said Mamoru is not deaf, I normally spoke on the phone.

Mamoru said It never happen, because it is impossible to him.

Niigaki said he wanted to stop this crazy happen

Mamoru said Niigaki never said that, and he demanded more money every time.

Niigaki said get only ¥7000000 in 18 years

Mamoru said sometime he gave more ¥3000000 per one piece of music.

I don't understand which one telling truth.
There is another story regarding Mamoru Samuragochi.

Miku is a Japanese girl, who was born with one hand.
She has been playing violin since she was 3.
Niigaki is one of her Accompanist.
Mamoru found out about her.
and he wanted to get fame, by using her story.
He asked Niigaki to compose a piece for her.
Mamoru of course said to the public it was him who composed it.
A few TV shows pick this story up, and made documentaries about it.
Mamoru got what he wanted.
After that, Miku's parents were angry, because they didn't want their daughter to be on TV.
Mamoru got angry at Miku's parents too for not thanking him for giving Miku a chance to be famous.
Miku's parents said "We do thank Mamoru for being kind to our daughter, but we never said we wanted to her to be on TV"
Mamoru and Miku separated since then.

I think Mamoru is lying, because everything he said is just defending himself.
I think he is a terrible person.
I feel really shock, because I liked him piece of music, and I feel like betrayed by him.

I went to America for participate violin competition.

I went to America a few weeks. It was a very hard journey.

I used the airplane twice for went to America. First airplane is Narita to Dallas. Second airplane is Dallas to Austin.

The Austin was warmer than Japan. sometime cold as Japan.
I went to Austin because I participated international violin competition.

The competition name is a Menuhin international competition. 

This competition has a two department. senior and junior.
Junior has t be 10years old to 15 years old.
 Senior has to be 15 years to 25 years old.
this competition has to be play many piece of music. first Baroque, classic, contemporary music, and improvisation.
Is was very hard to me, because I haven't to play this much piece of song at once, so I had to more hard practice.
The competition were started Senior's round one. then Junior's round one.
The Japanese participant in senior is two people, and Japanese junior participant is three people.
I could make a many friends in there.
