Omiyage - Jishin Taiko Spring Concert 08 について・・・
A modern piece written in 2002 by Shoji Kameda and TAIKOPROJECT, it is fast becoming on of the most famous American Taiko compositions. It is with this piece that TAIKOPROJECT became the first non-Japanese group to win the international Taiko competition in Tokyo, Japan. It was written and published as an open source piece to be given as a gift to all Taiko players to learn with the only guideline being that they pass the song on to their friends and Taiko progeny. In keeping with that feeling TAIKOPROJECT called the piece Omiyage, which means gift.
