Profile
【 Sokoku 21】
With the aim of continuing and developing the tradition of Japanese music, the group was formed in January 1997 by people with creative aspirations from various genres of Japanese music. He also paid attention to the importance of language in Japanese music and established the Literature Department in March of the same year.
The aim is to strengthen the mutual relationship between songwriting and composition, and to create a work of high overall perfection. 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.
