Yoichi can be contacted at: watanabe@galax-lay.co.jp This was to be another show we had to cut short as the kids were just so excited we couldnt stop them surging forwards, leaving us with hardly any space to perform in! As you can see from the photos it all started with plenty of space for us to clown around in....this wasn't to last long!!
