Taikos for dinner
Back in October, I saw Yamato play at Bass Concert Hall. It was a great show. Somewhat Stomp-ish (which I loved). I went with a friend from work and two friends of hers. We were a few rows up on the first balcony. It was a good view, though a little far. The theater requires a trade-off: a nice overlook in the balcony that starts a good distance from the stage, or closer orchestra level seats that are ground level. The sound travelled well though and reached us at a good volume.
Just a year ago, last Oct, I'd seen Taiko drumming at a performance at St. Eds at a Aki Matsuri (Fall Festival). That show was not as large, extravagant and polished, but more intimate, being in a much smaller venue.
A new tradition? An annual taiko fix?
