“Hello Hong Kong!” by Mitsuru Ishizuka
Oct. 29, 2015
Hello Hong Kong!
We have safely arrived in Hong Kong for the “DADAN” performances! The last time Kodo visited anywhere in China was 15 years ago in 2000. This is my first time ever in Hong Kong and I have been really looking forward to this trip.
But our schedule is rather tight… tomorrow we have to unpack our instruments and load in to the theater, then we have a press conference and rehearsals, then two performances… so that only leaves a short amount of free time today to enjoy Hong Kong.
So, as soon as we got off the bus from the airport and checked in to our hotel, I was straight back outside and leapt on the subway. I started my sightseeing from the southern end of Nathan Road and zigzagged my way north.
I saw lanes of pubs filled with spirited old guys, a chic shopping area like Omotesando (in Tokyo), a market packed with stalls on the street, and such amazing neon signs. I felt such great energy coming from the city and its people.
It was a brief outing, but it was great to feel that pulsating side of Asia. I’m invigorated and will do my best for our performances!

“Successful ‘DADAN’ Performances in Hong Kong” by Mio Teycheney-Takashiro
Kodo gave performances of “DADAN” at Sha Tin Town Hall in Hong Kong on the 30th and 31st of October.
We were very happy with the response to both our sold-out performances, which were a great success.
We would like to offer our sincere thanks to the audiences, the presenter, our agent, and all the local staff.
We will definitely come back to Hong Kong again!

Meet-the-Press Session for Hong Kong “DADAN 2015”
Our second day in Hong Kong began with preparations at the venue, and then we took part in a “Meet-the-Press” session this afternoon.
Our performance tomorrow will be Kodo’s first one in Hong Kong since 1986. That’s 29 years ago!
The performers will all do their best on stage in the hopes that each audience member will feel the powerful energy of “DADAN” resonate throughout their entire body.
