@@elementalfitnesslab Hi-! Thank you!!! Do you remember Kohei (the first soloist)? He is taiko drummer with Takohachi and we have the same shamisen teacher in Japan. My goal is to have my students to learn how to join solo with Jongara Bushi! It’s a lot of work!

@@KotoriJapaneseMusic I don't think I met Kohei. Yeah a lot of practice but you are doing good work with them. Impressive.
