Hello, everyone! This is\u00a0Yosuke Oda. I’m in Berkeley,\u00a0California, with the\u00a0“Kodo One Earth Tour: Mystery” North America\u00a0tour.<\/p>\n

I was invited to lead\u00a0a workshop for\u00a0the members of Raijin Taiko at UC Berkeley today.<\/p>\n

First, we all introduced ourselves\u00a0and then we had time to do stretches together. Everyone shouted loudly to count\u00a0“ichi, ni, san<\/span> … (one, two, three…), and so did I. Then, they performed their piece Kazoku<\/span> (Family) for me. They were so upbeat and their cheerful sound echoed throughout\u00a0the hall. After that, I gave my own performance demo. It felt good to play taiko supported by their energy.<\/p>\n

Just as we started to feel at ease with\u00a0each other, the workshop started! The theme for this workshop was “Create your own sound.” Everyone caught on to what I taught\u00a0so quickly, so\u00a0we progressed\u00a0at a good pace. Kate, who interpreted for me, did her best, too. Thank you, Kate!<\/p>\n

At the end of the workshop, I asked them to play their piece Kazoku<\/span>\u00a0once again to show what they had learned today. They began\u00a0with amazing power and volume, and the rhythm was livelier\u00a0than the first time they played it. They all\u00a0helped each other like a real family and it was an awesome performance.
\nSeeing their\u00a0performance made me think how good it is to be natural. Being natural and your own sound are directly related.<\/p>\n

At the end, we took this picture and they gave me a lot of presents, too. Thank you very much for today, Raijin Taiko! Let’s\u00a0play taiko together again!<\/p>\n
