Hironobu Kageyama
Debuting in 1977 as “Michell,” the vocalist of the shining Japanese rock band “LAZY,” Kageyama left his mark with hits like “Akazukin-chan Goyoujin” and “DREAMER.” His transition to Columbia Records in 1985 introduced him to the world of anime and tokusatsu (special filming) songs, leading to the creation of defining themes such as “CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA” for “Dragon Ball Z” and “Soldier Dream” for “Saint Seiya.” These songs solidified his standing as a leading figure in the anisong industry. Today, Kageyama’s talents span lyric writing, composing, arranging, and producing. He is also the leader of the anisong singer unit “JAM Project,” through which he continues to make a significant impact on the global stage.

TÁTAKE!-TAIKO
Taiko is a Japanese form of drumming in which posture and movement form the basis of the rhythms that are drummed. The drums are often very large drums made of wood and cattle hides. Their low piercing sounds convey an energy that goes straight to the gut.
The organization ”Tátake!-Taiko” was created to make Taiko known and passed on in our region. They do this through lessons , workshops , corporate events and concerts. The in-house developed method of playing, called SHIZEN, is unique and is based on natural postures, movements and relaxation.
