Business Overview

This is a series of 4 concerts in which Ryukyu classical music and Ryukyu dance are performed in various small spaces in Tokyo. It was held as the second concert following the first performance in 2022. Just like the first performance, the program depicted each season of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, with the minimum composition of one performer and one performer, and the venue, program, and dancer changed in turn. Four small spaces with a sense of taste were selected as the venue, and visitors were able to view the event from a close distance. Each performance included 'Daigaku-bushi,' which is considered to be a large piece of Ryukyu classical music, and 'Koten Onneshichidori,' which is the culmination of Ryukyu dance, to create a more challenging structure than the first performance.
