Thanks to a fellow blogger at Oita times, we got to know about a taiko-drum group called TAO. In December they performed at Taketa City Hall, and soon afterwards in January at Park Place Oita.
Forceful and rhythmic. In few words, I can say that the show is all the way till the end a breathtaking one. The sounds of the largest drums are astonishing. In Taketa City Hall it felt like the lamps are going to fall off the sealing - so strongly they were shaken by the deep sounds.
Sorry, all I have to present are these poor photos. Unfortunately, no pictures or video was allowed during the performance, which I don't get because what they would get by allowing recording is merely free advertisement.
If you ever get a chance, go and check them out! They perform around the world.
