The world famous taiko group, Kodo, will be performing in Tokyo for a limited number of shows, and JETAA Tokyo have secured discounted seats (with a "Meet & Greet" with Kodo performer(s) after the performance) for the 8 December (Thurs) concert at Aoyama Theatre.
We are inviting you to bring along your friends, family or colleagues to enjoy the magic of taiko drumming, for the discounted rate of 6,000 yen per ticket. Please see below for details about the concert - I've seen them in action twice now, and they really are entertaining!
If you’re interested in purchasing tickets, please email me (Sharon) at secretary@jetaa-tokyo.org stating how many tickets you'd like. Please let me know as soon as you can, as we only have a limited number and must return all unsold tickets to Kodo by 18 November. We will also need you to transfer money to the JETAA Tokyo account in advance - details of which will be given once you reserve your tickets.

Artistic Director's Concept
As we approached the 30th year of Kodo I found myself asking “What is Kodo?" I carefully peeled away the many layers of the various elements that make up our group and decided there are three things without which, there would be no Kodo. The first is “people." These are the people I am surrounded by now – both my seniors and juniors – who give their all playing the drum. The second is “taiko." The third is “Sado Island," home to the people and taiko. Even if we have nothing else, if we have these things, we have Kodo, and that is a powerful thing indeed. It feels like the spirit of an incalculable mass of energy. On our 30th Anniversary One Earth Tour we will concentrate on Kodo's original power. We want the audience to enjoy both the rhythm and intensity of the taiko as well as the joy and beauty of our melodic instruments. We hope to bring moments when the throbbing pulse of Kodo's spirit reverberates the taiko to their core.
Mitsuru Ishizuka, Artistic Director
