A massive Nagado-Daiko drum sends non-amplified shock waves through the theater as both a cultural and spiritual tone connect the performers with the audience.

Yamato presents taiko drumming as wild excessive physical theater with a mix of athleticism and showbox. Special-effects lighting fascinates the eyes, ears and, especially with the titanic Odaiko drum, the heart.
