Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study focuses on taiko drum music in the 1950s through the ’60s. Major accomplishments of this research include the following: 1) digitizing 70 privately-owned videotapes of early taiko performance groups, 2) charting the general course of taiko music from its birth in Japan to its development into a global music after spreading to North America, as I have described in Chapter six of Hawai ni Hibiku Nippon no Uta [Japanese Songs Echo in Hawai‘i], 3) the discovery that popular compositions from the early period are currently performed as global standards, and, 4) the finding that the horizontal ties established between the early taiko performance groups have persisted to the present day, even after generational change, as often seen in their influence on performance practice.
