"'Senrai no En' (Feast of the River's Rising) is a song composed by Kimihiko Matsumura, the representative of the Matsumura Group of Japanese Taiko, for the Sorachi Taiko group. 'Rai' refers to the sounds of nature, flutes, and resonance.<\/p>\n

"This song was composed with the image of the sounds of the various rivers of Sorachi overlapping and resonating with each other, and of the connections between people and the friendly and lively Sorachi city," said Taiko drummer Itagaki Chihiro.<\/p>\n
