Akemashite omedeto,

Happy new year to all of you. Taiko Ring has been online for two years
now and the International Taiko Ring is growing rapidly. I hope all of
you have had a wonderful experience with your taiko groups. The new
year offers renewed promise for us all throughout the world and with
all of our cooperation and efforts the art of taiko will be more widely
excepted and understood. Ganbatte kudasai.
