Japanese drum performance full of individuality of group

"Obayashi", in which okame and Hyottoko dance to Japanese drums, flutes, and bells, has been strictly handed down and protected. "While there are many musicians that make up in a light tone, the Kamiizumi Hayashiren inherits some of the slow tone originating in Kyoto. All sounds the same, but there are different songs and rhythms, and when you start doing it, I think the goodness of the music is that the depth is deep. At the annual Taiko and Music Festival, unlike the usual music performance, it also includes fun elements as a show. I'm working strictly and happily with the children, "said Tokuyoshi Anzai, chairman of the Kamiizumi Hayashiren.

"Taiko", which has the charm of Japanese drums different from the time of the music, varies from group to group in the number of Japanese drums. "I was a member who wanted to beat the Bon Taiko drum that excites Bon Odori by themselves, but that alone was not enough, and I started incorporating creative drums. The good thing about creative drums is that you can enjoy incorporating your ideas," says Yoshio Ito, chairman of Okazu Taiko.
