Business Overview

Taking the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo as an opportunity, this concert was held for the purpose of making many people familiar with traditional music, leading to an increase in future enthusiasts, and creating an environment for the stable succession of Japanese music. It was held 2 times for 5 consecutive days in March and August. We offered a program that allows you to enjoy 4 different genres of Japanese music at a low price (1,000 yen) every day. The performers in each genre were young performers who are expected to be active in the future, and each performer practiced for the day and performed their favorite programs. It was also intended as a preparatory and experimental trial for holding regular concerts of traditional Japanese music in the future. Appearing genres: sankyoku, biwa, nagauta, Tokiwazu, Gidayu, Kiyomoto, Shinnai, kouta
