We left the Crystal Cove
Auditorium uplifted and inspired by the taiko
performance by Jodaiko, as well as the traditional
Japanese and
modern dances; the humorous, yet moving skit; and the
enthusiasm, cohesiveness and dedication of the Tomo No
Kai members.
So inspired, that this site
now exists on the Web to share and preserve the memories of
this cultural experience for myself as well for the members
and their online family, friends and taiko peers and
fans.
It also serves as a means to
get the word out about Jodaiko and Tomo No Kai,
student groups who are making a positive difference, as well
as help others know about the Intercollegiate Taiko Invitational
at UCI.
And mostly, it is my way of
saying arigato, kokoro kara (thank you from my heart
and soul) to Brian, members of Jodaiko and Tomo No
Kai.
Gambatte!
