Ongoing Project
A dream is not madeonly of the placewhere it arrives.
As a process toward a dream,
together with ViVi, “the voice of water,”
we continue a project of sacred offering performances at shrines across Japan.
"Someday, to Carnegie Hall."
This journey began the moment we pictured that dream.
Heading for the great stage.
Who we meet along the way,
where we play our sound,
what we feel, and what leads to what comes next.
We record each of these moments
as part of Road to Carnegie.
