Konnichiwa everyone, I’m Cheak from Fun! Japan.
I was invited to watch the drum performance, "DRUM TAO". Since I was really enjoyed it, so I'd like to recommend to you to watch "DRUM TAO Mangekyo" which is scheduled in September and October! I am pretty sure that you will enjoy this new style of Japanese drums.



4 reasons that you would definitely want to watch DRUM TAO again and again!

The show used a great combination of light and dark that you won’t feel bored. Also, the performance is fusion with the projection mapping, bringing you a new impression for drum performance.

There are types of Japanese drum with the powerful hit which can vibrate to your heart. Beside Japanese drums, there are some other genre Japanese musical instrument performances such as flutes and Koto(箏), sure you will be impressed by these combinations of instruments!!!

3. Physical Beauty and Action
The most important fact is, the group members are handsome guys! The acrobatic body movement performed by the members who are well trained. You will be definitely impressed with their performance even though you are not lady! After the performance finished, you will have your own favorite performer.

4. The Resonance of The Performers and The Audiences
This performance can be enjoyed by everyone among the world, regardless of whether you know Japanese or not. Beside the impressive and stunning performance, there are some comedies included in the performance which unify both the performer and audience.
