what an auditory and visual treat... I too was there, but to be able to revisit via "playback" makes it even that more memorable Chieko with Ken supporting this performance was pure bliss. Chieko is a Master of these times

I started playing with Koshio Sensei's group in June and participated in this event, so I've been exposed to the piece and looked at it a bit on KZfaq. The algorithm, just this morning, led me to your video of the song being performed with turkeys. That made me think, "Hey, we just saw Kojima-san in Arizona! That's pretty cool!." Then, KZfaq showed me this video that you appear to have taken at AZ Matsuri. Had I commented on your Turkey video, it would have been redundant because you would have been like, "I know, I was there!" In future performances at this park, I think it would be worth seeing if we can get the Canadian Geese involved somehow.

Oh so crazy to have crossed paths! Looking forward to the Canadian Geese rendition. I really enjoyed the Koshio Gumi performances. I hope you keep enjoying taiko! Thanks for saying hi!
