Taiko

Two different performance photos split the image. On the right side, a person stands with their back to the camera facing a Taiko drum that they are playing on a stage next to a person dancing. They wear matching turquoise jumpsuits. There are more drums in the background. The image on the left shows a dancer with orange legwarmers standing in a second position lunge, holding cymbals with arms outstretched overhead. Another dancer in a blue leotard crouches in front of them.
