For Japanese Spring is the best timing for new start. So there are different type of events for celebration of Spring.
I went to music events last weekend and yesterday which were invited by J-Stay Guests.
1)Taiko: Japanese percussion
Always our French chef cooked delicious food in share house.
Last weekend he showed us another talent for Taiko, Japanese percussion which he started from this year. This time was the first Taiko performance at Biwako Hall.
This event was showing different level of class from beginners and semi professional. This live lasted 4 hour and half. I felt it one way to express energy from the bottom of our body like dance. I learned Salsa dance in Mexico. So when I watched performance I almost danced.
On the other hand, yesterday I went to
Gagaku performance.
