To held on Feb. 25, 2007 at Hikone Viva City Hall, this is a Japanese speech contest by non-Japanese in Shiga. One of the contestants is Jamie Thompson, a JET ALT in Konan-shi. She is one of the twin sisters who sang my English version of 琵琶湖周航の歌 (Lake Biwa Rowing Song).

Her speech will be about the song. I will be attending this event, and there will also be a 交流会 afterward. So if you have time that afternoon, please come and we can have an オフ会 and I’ll introduce you to Jamie. Let me know if you can come so we can meet somewhere.

The speech contest is organized by the びわこ日本語ネットワーク。
