I just went to see "Inkboat" at YBCA day before, and I was dissapointed with "Gosts and Girls." I always enjoy watching artists who need to express themselves as if thier life depend on their art and they are driven to it.

I did not get that feeling from this event. It was begging for laughter and relying on cuteness.

It was not my cup of tea.

Ghosts and Girls is a haunting love tale about a powerful samurai's daughter who falls in love with a boy from a poor family. Despite her father's attempts to have her marry one of his rich suitors, the girl is forever determined to marry the poor boy whose love poem about the morning glory blows into her boat. Needing to escape, she runs away to a world outside her father's castle and becomes the Morning Glory, an itinerant storyteller famed for her tale of lost love.
