Produced, directed and performed by the legendary Kabuki actor <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Band%C5%8D_Tamasabur%C5%8D_V\">Band\u014d Tamasabur\u014d V<\/a>, &#8220;Yugen&#8221; fuses the traditions of the Noh and Kabuki theater and sets it to the music of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/en\">Kodo<\/a>, world-renowned Japanese taiko drumming group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u30b7\u30cd\u30de\u6b4c\u821e\u4f0e \u7279\u5225\u7bc7\u300e\u5e7d\u7384\u300f\u4e88\u544a\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NLfxC3MKszA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Apologies &#8211; no English versions seem to be available&#8230;.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The word &#8220;Yugen (\u5e7d\u7384)\u201d depicts a concept that goes back to Taoism, that is at the core of Japanese culture and aesthetics related to everything from traditional architecture to Zen Buddhism, tea ceremony to theaters and literature. It means &#8220;deep and subtle mysteries of life and universe,&#8221; &#8220;fleeting yet significant meaning of everything,&#8221; and &#8220;thoughts\/feelings\/sentiments beyond words.&#8221; It makes me think of the Western aesthetic concept of the &#8220;sublime,&#8221; although the concept of yugen is much older, with deeper roots.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I felt that Cinema Kabuki &#8220;Yugen&#8221; was trying to capture the fleeting meaning of everything through striving for the balance between the opposites: the new and the old; ritual and performance; sensory perception and active expression; silence and action; light and shadow&#8230; And I felt my own sense of yugen through sharing the depiction of the depth of Japanese history and aesthetic tradition with audience members with such diverse nationalities and ethnic backgrounds in the Little Tokyo&#8217;s Aratani Theater in Downtown Los Angeles. The theater was full, and the applause after the showing was long and heartfelt.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yugen&#8221; inspired me to make my own discovery during my morning practice the next day. All the sudden, I felt that categorizing music into song or dance, as is typically done, is limiting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depressing the piano key, lifts the hammer inside the piano to strike the strings. As opposed to string or wind instruments where they can be expressive through held notes, pianists are dependent on the instrument&#8217;s decaying resonance once the initial sound is emitted. In short, it is a percussive instrument. Therefore, how to create the illusion of a song becomes the one of the ultimate challenges for a pianist. However, I realized that in my search for my <em>cantabile<\/em>, I&#8217;d neglected the joy of dancing. Song is the heart. Dance is the body. Just as thoughts without action, and actions without thoughts, are barren, a song without dance, or a dance without song are difficult to resonate with. So,  how can I best merge these two things in my music? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/spread-arms-glowing-eyes-out-of-focus-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/spread-arms-glowing-eyes-out-of-focus-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/spread-arms-glowing-eyes-out-of-focus-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/spread-arms-glowing-eyes-out-of-focus-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/spread-arms-glowing-eyes-out-of-focus-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/spread-arms-glowing-eyes-out-of-focus-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My concerts start again this coming week.
