Yes, my love. Now you know, why I did not stop asking you to not miss the opportunity to see them. There's really no other way to reach that state of understanding, but by going, whatever distance, paying, whatever price, and experiencing that performance of pure and direct rhythmic emotion, joy, perfection, ease, life...

Something that everyone should try to realize at least once in life.

When I went to Berlin with that crazy troup a couple of years ago, for one evening and one night, just for that concert and a few terrible french fries to fill the stomach before, the effort alone already was a definite proof of my curiousity and longing to see real Taiko drummers from Japan. But only afterwards the complete enlightenment through their beauty and the conviction to once see them again were deeply carved into my soul and I will.

On one meeting here in the Wound Base, I offered the opportunity to watch DVDs of Kodo and Yamato. I think we all remember, what a difference the perfection of Kodo made.

People, as soon as Kodo plays again in Germany, I'll take the red flag and organize the excursion to a concert none of you will ever forget.

CDs... are nothing compared to being with the drummers... as the experienced Dängler knows...

Thanks for the links and for sharing your astonishment, Nada.

is underlined by me.

Thnx for the Links, U gave me a dreamful journey back to past to the Moment We felt the ground shaking from the mighty Taiko :-)

Hope 2 c U soon again, and warm greetings to all the Brighton Faces...

There exists a Japanese-German drumming Group called Masa-Daiko, too. But their next concert is in Italy.

Apart from that, I completely missed, that Kodo are touring not only Britain but Germany, too. For example Hamburg(Tickets) or Düsseldorf. Now, that I have raised the red flag so quickly, I should not keep this ticket information hidden from you. Unfortunately the prices are very realistic and won't be lower ever in Germany, because of the sick foreign artists tax. Hamburg is cheaper than Düsseldorf, even though the trip may be more expensive. Even though I promise, that every single cent is paid back by a beat straight to the heart.

Tickets still seem to be available, just I would have liked to have more time to save money for it. For Berlin I had saved for nearly half a year, for example. I think, I'm not able to do it now, but folks, I have seen them already and you, that you don't, should sleep a night over before you decide finally.
