Kodo. | 鼓童 | 鼓童

It's been a couple days here now and am starting to get used to it. An old friend from college took me to a show that had Taiko drumming performed by members of the famous group KODO. It was so intense to see this guy drumming on the big drum for five minutes straight. You could see he was putting his entire body and mind into that one action. It took so much concentration, strength, endurance and energy to finish his routine it was amazing. Respect!!!

Antonio, Shiggy, Nao and Shiggy the ghost.

After the show my friend Shiggy took me to eat ODEN at a little small pushcart stand near a big pond in Ueno. Oden is like a whole bunch of different fishball type stuff boiling in hot water. You pick the ones you want to eat out of the pot. It was interesting and fun but I didn't particularly enjoy the flavors so much. A bit more bland than our Chinese style fish balls.

我來了兩天已經漸漸開始適應。大學裡的老朋友帶我去觀看由一個很出名的組合”鼓童”成員打太鼓的演出。看著那個人在五分鐘內不停擊打大鼓，簡直是刺激。你能看到他把全副身心都投入在動作中，完成這些動作要極度專心，花費大氣力、耐力及精力才能做到。尊敬﹗

看完表演後，朋友Shiggy帶我去上野一個大水塘附近的很小攤的排檔吃關東煮。”關東煮”是很多不同類型的魚丸在滾水裡煮著，你可以從鍋裡任選一些來吃。很有趣，但我不是特別喜歡那味道，比我們中式漁丸味道要淡。
