The Japanese music concert \u201cGeijyutsu no Aki, Nihon no Neiro \u2010 Shamisen, Koto, Shakuhachi performances by students and staffs \u2010<\/a>\u201d was held at Okuma Auditorium on October 11. This event started from last year, and this concert was the second time.<\/p>\n

Shamisen and Koto are the Japanese stringed musical instruments. Shakuhachi is a vertical Japanese flute made of a bamboo stem.<\/p>\n

At the concert, students and staffs played the music familiar from ancient Japan. The collaboration of students and staffs is unlikely to seen in other concerts.<\/p>\n

8 songs were played in total.<\/p>\n

The first song, \u201cHaru no Umi\u201d is very popular. It expresses the scene of peaceful Seto Inland Sea in spring. It was very comfortable.<\/p>\n

The sixth song, \u201cGekka Bijin\u201d expresses one beautiful white flower that can bloom only one night. It is similar to the sweet sound of the Koto.<\/p>\n

The seventh song was \u201cHigurashi\u201d. The sunset at the end of the summer and the shrilling of Higurashi, one of the cicada, are described in this song. At the last of the song, the Koto was strummed like the chorus of Higurashi.<\/p>\n

I felt the beauties of the nature from these songs.<\/p>\n

Fall is in full swing. When I left the Okuma Auditorium, I looked up in the sky and looked for the moon unwillingly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u3010Feedbacks of visitors\u3011<\/p>\n

\u30fbI could listen to the Japanese good old sounds quietly. The Kimono made the atmosphere comfortable and the sound beautiful. It was wonderful.<\/p>\n

\u30fbAlthough the classics are wonderful, \u201cSan San Sakura\u201d was spectacular performance. \u201cBlack Hair\u201d was very good. \u201cChidori\u201d was the best singing and performance.<\/p>\n

\u30fbEveryone is very young but very good at singing and playing the music. I was surprised at the Higurashi\u2019s shrilling.<\/p>\n

\u30fbThis is the first time I\u2019ve listened to the Japanese traditional music concert. I hope that Japanese culture will last forever !!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
