Profile

【SK Project 】
In 2021, when video streaming became active due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sadasuke Mochizuki suggested that they would like to record their current performance with their friends, even though it was still a green art. Based on this suggestion, three members, Katsujiro Kineya and Kosaburo Kineya, who studied together at Tokyo University of the Arts, started their activities. Produced a performance video "Mukashibanashi Tanuki" and distributed it on YouTube. The next goal is to plan and hold concerts for those who are familiar with nagauta and those who are not. The aim is for this small gesture to eventually become a trigger to enjoy singing, shamisen and hayashi as a familiar hobby.
