They were sooooo good!!! I want to see them again!!!
They were amazingly awesome TAIKO drummers that were from Japan!! They performed at Cornell today...well yesterday by now. For TWO hours they performed nonstop with these giant drums of DOOM and AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was their first U.S. performance! I am so happy that I got to see it!!! They performed by themselves with their youngest member Eva, who was awesome and energetic!! Their last song they performed with the seniors of YAMATAI who are graduating this year...-____- that makes me sad...I tried to get YAMATAI to come play at our school this semester but they were totally booked!!! So I am going to try and get them to come perform next semester but by then all the seniors will be gone...*sadness*
It's really cool because Eva, will actually be going to Japan and be a professional Taiko drummer!!!! It's soooo cool that she gets to do that right after graduating!
The concert was really cool and really loud! Like the ENTIRE floor was vibrating because of the drum beats! They had this HUGE drum which sounded like a heart beat!!! We were really close to the stage, so we could see everything and feel everything!
The Sensei was so adorable! I totally wanted to go hug him! Scratch that I wanted to hug ALL of them, they were so cute! Also they were really really good! It made me think that I should have brought flowers or something for them they did so well!
The encores were really cool too because they had the seniors from Cornell performing with them and they were all super hyper and bouncing around! It was really cool!
okies....I think that is enough of a journal entry for now I might write more later as I think of it!
