Kitaro 15th Annual All Night Taiko Event 2010

30 Aug

Photos taken during Kitaro’s 15th annual all-night Taiko (Japanese Drums) event. This event occurs every year in August on the night of the full moon. For this year that happened all night on 8/24 – 8/25. The drumming starts approximately 18:00. Once it starts, it does not end until SUNRISE! That’s right! ALL night!! For those who might aspire to experience drumming on genuine Japanese Taiko drums, this is IT! It was quite an interesting, different, and exhilirating experience. It’s also a great escape from the doldrums of daily life, and a good stress release. As Kitaro himself likes to consider it, an appreciation for our planet…. to simply become one with nature, earth, with the beat of the drums. Best yet, although not very publicized, the event is totally free for those in the know. For those of you not familiar with Kitaro, he is the person famous for the NHK TV series, Silk Road of many years ago. He also did the soundtrack score for Oliver Stone’s movie, “Heaven and Earth” a story with a setting before, during, and after the Vietnam war. Kitaro currently lives in California, but returns each year to his native country to perform this event. To see the full load of all the photos of the event, please visit my website:www.gallery.suppan.net. Once there Enter >> EVENTS >> KITARO >> 2010-TAIKO.

この写真集は喜太郎の第15回、富士山御殿場でのオールナイト太鼓イベントです。このイベントは毎年の八月の満月の夜に起こるイベントです。今年は8月24日、25日のオールナイトでした。太鼓のオペニングセレモニーは約18時頃からサンライズ(夜明けまで)止めません!そうです!オールナイトです。もし本物の太鼓を体験したいと憧れている人ならば、これです!来年の8月の満月の夜にも叉ですよ!面白くて日常生活のストレスから逃げて爽快イベントです。喜太郎自身も考えていることで地球に感謝するイベントです。地球と自然と一緒になることです。なによりもこのイベントはあまり広告されていないけれども一番良いのが無料です。自由に参加できます。 喜太郎さんが良く知らない人でしたら、昔の日本のNHKテレビシリーズ、「シルクロード」のBGMを作った人です。そして監督のオリバーストーンの映画「Heaven and Earth」のサウンドトラックも作成しました。喜太郎の音楽のスタイルは基本的にニューエージでシンセサイザーの方でも一番有名です。今現在アメリカのカリフォルニアに住んでいます。恐らく日本よりもアメリカのほうで一番人気かも知れません。このイベントのもっと詳しい写真を見てみたいなら、私のウェブサイトへ訪れて下さい: www.gallery.suppan.net/zen/events/kitaro/2010-taiko/


 
 

Kitaro 2009 All Night Taiko Event – Videos Online

23 Aug

Just to get a little taste of the excitement of the event the night before the 2010 event begins,   I have posted all my videos of the 2009 all night taiko event.  These video files are ‘in-the-raw’,  meaning… NO post production work.  Rather then just sitting in my computer waiting to have  time to produce a nicely polished video I decided to post and share  them with the people planning to attend tomorrow rather then let the experience go to waste.   Also, bear in mind, these ARE videos, so be patient and allow a little bit of time to download and buffer before viewing.  In order to make the process a bit faster, I reduced the video files down to iphone frame size.  Thus, the file size is smaller, and should start more quickly.   Also, I have not figured out yet how to attach thumbnail images to the video clips, so you will need to go by the video file names to get some idea of what the content is.   Also, I have not figured out yet how to attach thumbnail images to the video clips, so you will need to go by the video file names to get some idea of what the content is for each clip.
