Minoritch Hokuryu Opening Ceremony
The event started with a hosting session by Hajime Nanba, head of the Industry Division at Hokuryu Town Hall!
Hokuryu Taiko performance of "Senrai no En" and "Spring Breeze"
To commemorate the opening, Hokuryu Taiko (Representative: Nakamura Hiroyo) performed two songs, "Kawarai no Utage" and "Harukaze," as many people came to support the event.
A story by Taiko drummer Chihiro Itagaki
We spoke with Itagaki Chihiro.
"The piece we will be performing, 'Senrai no En' (Feast of the Rivers' Enthralling), was created with the image of the sounds of the various rivers of Sorachi overlapping, creating a sound that sounds like a banquet is taking place and spreading throughout the region.
I hope you have many wonderful encounters and connections.
"Rai" means flute, sound, voice, and the sound of nature. The overlapping sounds of the river represent the encounters and connections between people.
This song was created by Kimihiko Matsumura, representative of the Kobe Wadaiko Matsumura Group (Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture), with the hope that it will bring about many wonderful encounters and connections.
Participated in the "4th Wadaiko Taiko De Ii!" (June 27th, Fukagawa City)
The participating teams will perform together at the 4th Wadaiko Taiko De Ii! to be held in Fukagawa City on Sunday, June 27th!

Resonating heartbeats
Flute by Hiroyo Nakamura, representative of Hokuryu Taiko
The sound of flutes and heroic drums carried on the spring breeze filled the venue, creating a spirited sound.
