Japanese Oct 23, 2004:Yufuin Music Festival (Autumn)
	The 30th anniversary of YFM autumnal concert was opened. We headed before noon for the preparation together with Mr. Andrew who stayed in my home. At Kotokoto-Ya tearoom, Mr. Fuchino asked Mr. Andrew to check his English poster.
Today's site was Artegio in "Fantasy Forest." The young staff built up a beautiful signboard like this.
	The chairs have arrived. People carried them into the hall.
Many items were set up at the stage.
	Three reflector plates were set on the stage.
As the stage position was fixed, people arranged many chairs.
	A heavy grand piano was set in position as well. It needed so much attention.
Mr. Andrew, tall man, helped the staff in hoisting a logo mark on the top of the reflector.
Mt. Yufu stood still in the evening red by changing its color constantly.
