Based on Sado Island, the taiko performing group Kodo, which engages in international activities, is once again holding its Billboard Live Tour this year. Since their debut at the Berlin Art Festival in 1981, they have performed in more than 50 countries and regions, and by early 2027 they will undertake a roughly two-month US tour, among other varied activities. Based on traditional Japanese performing arts and nourished by exchanges with artists from both Japan and abroad, their new stage expressions are a must-see. Please experience up close the spectacular show where powerful rhythms and melodies, and the resonance of the drums, reveal infinite possibilities.
