Profile
【 Sokoku 21】
Aiming to continue and develop the tradition of traditional Japanese music, the group was formed in January 1997 by people with creative aspirations from various genres of Japanese music. In March, he set up a literary department and actively created words important in Japanese music as well as music. After a series of trial performances and study meetings, he held his first concert in May 2000. Since then, it has been held approximately once a year. Since 2010, he has also held public lectures on "The Essentials of Creation," in which he analyzes works from the point of view of creators and suggests ways to listen to them.
