A few of us were up early enough on Monday morning to see the One Earth Tour members off when they left Kodo Village to head the ferry, to the airport, and off to Europe. Junior member Sho and staff Narumi (holding the farewell banner) have never left Japan, so it must be hard for them to imagine the long flight, let alone the languages and cultures that await our cast. I hope they can experience "One Earth" outside Japan with Kodo someday, too. Me? I'm thinking... I wish I could go and hear Kodo at the KKL in Luzern again. One Earth, many theatres, but only some that make taiko really sing. Bon voyage everyone! We're cheering you on!
