MIKAGE PROJECT

A product arranges the folk song of various parts of Japan for a modern sense and connects it with the next generation.
Three ability groups which moved into action while pursuing the possibility of the Japanese Traditional instrument in one gather thought.

With MIKAGE (Mikage) of a soul and the soul of the gods and Buddha have a meaning.
MIKAGE members feel the sound soul that ancient people left through world folk music as well as Japan and leave it in history.
A number multi-; reflect a certain Japanese folk song(Minyou) some other time.
Even if time goes by, the law of nature of people does not change.

Taking a lesson from the past to know old.

A trip of the new folk music of the one and only begins in here now.
