The following email from the band was recieved by Camp Bangle today!..

Takamichi Hijiya
Yasuhiko Takedomi
Sanae Ito
All 1st place winners will be asked to join us onstage to read their poems, and will be given a gift of Bangle goodies.
Honorary mention goes to: Koji Tanaka
Akira Suto

We want to thank everyone who took the time to come up with a poem for us (and to write us in English!) and we wish that we could meet you all in person.
Arigato!
Debbi, Michael, Susanna, and Vicki!"
