Aiming at the realization of gWorldwide Wadaiko Entertainmenth
Wadaiko is by nature an instrument of tremendous power and impact that, when pounded with skill, resonates in the soul of the listener. One also deeply appreciates the beauty manifest in the smooth, highly perfected movements of hard-trained wadaiko players. Within the traditional Japanese arts, the beauty of wadaiko is indeed often expressed with a certain emphasis on eformf.
However, drawing a line between itself and purely traditional forms of wadaiko drumming, what Tao has aimed at all along has been its own brand of eglobal entertainmentf that has the ability to appeal to audiences around the world. The wadaiko drum is hence merely a tool ? albeit a formidably powerful one ? utilized to reach a greater, ultimate goal. While the wadaiko drums and severe training will always form the core of Tao, elaborate themes and story lines, special effects and show lights are utilized as additional creative elements to help produce intriguing performances that stir all the senses.
Taofs ultimate ideal is to produce modern, exciting spectacles on par with the musicals and shows that play on Broadway and in Las Vegas. However, it wants to do this while drawing on the inspiration bestowed by the glorious and vast nature of Kuju that all the members cherish. Transcending the realm of traditional performing arts but retaining the profound Japanese spirit that the world so admires, Tao is set to create a compelling and entertaining universe of its own.
