Business Overview
The frontier is actually the center of the world. The songs recollect the forgotten senses of people living in urban communities and appeal to the primitive sensibilities that humans have had since ancient times. Souls calling each other across borders. Echoing sensibilities. The earth is large. And narrow. Mio Matsuda travels to the world's oldest lake, Lake Baikal, where traditional songs are passed down to the present, Nanook, the northernmost land of the world, where songs that encourage people continue to be sung, the Ogasawara Islands, and other places in Japan. Interviews with the performers and precious images/photos from around the world will be included in this "Song of the Frontier" concert where you will think about the edge of the world.
