Japanese-style jam?

Tokyo’s Shibuya district is hardly lacking in interesting sights and sounds, from the area’s famous crossing which is a firm favourite of the foreign media, to the (presumably) last gasp of the much maligned but unusually long lasting ganguro fashion phenomena.

This poorly shot and painfully short video — a first for Tokyo Times, hence its lousy nature — sadly offers only a teaser of his tricks, although the latter part does briefly capture the taiko master’s ability to play the game while nonchalantly not looking at the screen.

    Taiko no Tatsujin isn’t that hard or impressive. Next time, see if you can get a good DrumMania player to play “The Least 100 Seconds” on Extreme. 😛
