Business Overview
Fukyoku 'refers to a series of activities in which a piece that was performed in the past, but whose sound is no longer passed down, and only the verses or authentic Nagauta texts remain, is considered based on the information written on them (Year and month of performance, theater, performer, cubic, publisher of original), the entertainment and cultural conditions of the time, the social conditions, other works by a shamisen player (or in some cases, a tateuta player) who is considered to be the composer, and contemporary Japanese music works of other genres, and the music is added based on the style and background of the time when the work was created and the musical personality of the composer. This time, "MERIYASU," especially "Hana no Enchi" and "Matsumushi" by Tareyasu, which were first performed in Horeki 3 and 12 respectively, were picked up, and the background of the 2 works was examined from the theatrical and musical aspects, and then reproduced for the first time. In the second part, the audience listened to a special performance of "Mikka Korori Ai Aishishi," which was composed of a gisaku in the style of Nagauta Shohon written during the cholera epidemic of 1855.
