I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Kyokubat is a type of acrobatic performance using drumsticks (bachi) employed when playing Japanese taiko; it’s a form of the traditional Daikagura art.

Since the Edo period, it has been popular among common people as a vaudeville act.

Simply put, kyokubat is an acrobatic performance where one showcases a series of tricks using bachi, much like juggling, and there are many variations of techniques.

Some routines carry an auspicious meaning—that increasing the number of sticks brings increasing good fortune—so it’s also a perfect act to perform as entertainment at weddings.
