Profile
[Creation of Japan 21]
With the aim of creating new Japanese music based on tradition, the group was established in January 1997 with 13 members, after a series of study sessions by people with creative aspirations from various genres of Japanese music since September 1996. In March, he established the Literature Department. After that, study groups and trial performances were held, and the first concert was held in May 2000. Since then, the conference has been held almost once a year, and this is the 13th conference. Since 2010, he has held public lectures on "The Key to Creation" 1~2 times a year, analyzing his works and offering suggestions on how to listen to them.
