Oct	28	Sat	Coppelia	Birmingham Royal Ballet	YOSHIDA Miyako, Kevin O'HARE, Michael O'HARE	Tokyo Bunka Kaikan	3	Warm-hearted end was impressive. Yoshida and O'Hara was a charming couple.
Nov	11	Sat	Romeo and Juliet	Asami Maki Ballet	Shiga, Carreno, Kojima, Masaki, Negishi, Sato	Tokyo Bunka Kaikan	3	New Ballet choreographed by Azari PLISSETSKY and MAKI Asami. Maybe not bad, not so good. Anyway the most important thing for me was that Kojima had returned from ABT.
