“‘Mystery” Europe Tour Finale!” by Mio Teycheney-Takashiro


“Mystery” Europe Tour Finale!

On March 29 our “Mystery” Europe Tour, which began at the end of January, had its grand finale in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The last performance was attended by around 3000 people, which was the largest audience on this tour. Thanks to their energy, our tour ended on such a high note.

It was a wonderful atmosphere for the final performance for performers Mariko Omi and Tetsumi Hanaoka. I was so happy that their last time on the Kodo stage was so memorable.

Thank you very much to everyone who came to see “Mystery” at theaters across the ten countries we visited over the past two months. We look forward to seeing you in Europe again in two years time!

“Three Sold-Out Performances in Milan” by Mio Teycheney-Takashiro


Three Sold-Out Performances in Milan

From February 5 through 7, we gave three “Mystery” performances at Triennale Teatro dell’Arte in Milan, Italy. Thanks to their wonderful support, all three performances welcomed full houses!

Many of the venues on our Europe tour are concert halls, so the members were excited to perform in Milan at the first regular proscenium theater of this tour. People of all ages came to see us in Milan and I think they all enjoyed the “Mystery” production and the energy in our performance.

We received these homemade ginger cookies from a local taiko group. Thank you very much!

The Milan concerts were our first full-house performances of the 2016 tour, so to celebrate we gave red “full-house” envelopes with Japanese postage stamps inside them to the presenter, Change Performing Arts, and the theater staff. (It’s a Japanese tradition.)
We are already looking forward to our next chance to visit Italy again!

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.
