Baliset Night in Tokyo '97

On Dec. 27th , We held 'Baliset Night in Tokyo '97 ' at Mother's Ruin in Shimo-Kitazawa, Tokyo. This was something like a year-end party for Baliset players living around Tokyo. There came 8 Baliset players, their family and friends. 5 players of us performed on the stage. I hope more players will perform on Baliset Night in Tokyo '98. Many thanks to those who attend the party and those who are staffs of Mother's Ruin.
