乗馬



昨日は、23日に上越市で行われる「謙信公祭」に向けて、乗馬の練習をしに長野まで行ってきました。

約1年ぶりの乗馬で、感覚を取り戻すのに少し時間がかかったようですが、しばらく乗っていると感覚が戻ってきたのか、巧みに馬を操っていました。

いよいよ明日、Gackt謙信最後の出陣です!

Gackt at the shrine of Uesugi Kenshin 2008


Now in Joetsu City, Gackt prepares for the Kenshin Festival, in the blog, he remarks on his reasons for attending last year's festival, (because of the devastating earthquakes suffered in the region, and a desire to bring more people to the Festival, he succeeded by quadrupling the previous year's attendance, and breaking all attendance records.

This year, Gackt returns to note many in Niigata are still living in shelters and are recovering from injuries, he and the organizers have worked to make this the largest Festival (in terms of participants) and hope people enjoy the spectacle and enjoy it for many years to come.


GANBATTE to THE GENERAL OF THE ARMY!!!!
