Business Overview

Kiyomoto is often performed as a part of Kabuki dance and Kabuki scenes, but this time, Kiyomoto's performance as a simple Joruri highlights the rich expressive power of narrative-style music as a traditional voice culture representative of Tokyo. "Sono kouta yumemo yoshiwara" is performed in the form of "tatewakare," which is a combination of young tayu and experienced shamisen, with an unprecedented fresh idea. [Performers] Joruri: Kiyomoto Shizuko dayu, Kiyomoto Kiyoei dayu, Kiyomoto Kiyomi dayu, Kiyomoto Ittayu, Kiyomoto Kunie dayu, Kiyomoto Hyodayu Shamisen: Kiyomoto Mijiro, Kiyomoto Kikusuke, Kiyomoto Shijuzo, Kiyomoto Eikichi, Kiyomoto Yujiro, Kiyomoto Misaburo, Kiyomoto Mijuro Koto: Nakagawa Toshihiro
