I hope you enjoy them.

Great stuff. Your flute playing somehow reminds me of Seamus Egan. Lovely bubbly flowing style. Keep at it!

And let me know when you tour Germany

Ah! You disbanded!?

Butterdogs is such a good name too.

Dogs love butter, yes they do!


Good stuff Hatao-san!

Hatao, thanks for sharing the YouTube videos. I enjoyed all of the pieces.

Konichiwa, Hatao-san,

I really enjoyed the wide variety of musical styles you played. Please tell me what flute you are playing in each tune, and what the whistle is also.

Arigatou gozaimasu.

Hello, Hatao,

Great effort, and it's good to hear from you again!

I'm sorry to hear that the musical group broke up, but hopefully something good will happen in the future, and good luck to you.

Amazing, Hatao
