     Except being a musician of Tsugaru shamisen player, NobuTO is also a professor at Senzoku Music University. His private courses are very popular in Japan with a 3 year waiting list. ToEN is not only a talented stage drama performer but also a drum playing artist. ToEN’s strength is the improvisation at the drum performance. His drum performance tries to find the possibility and manifestation of wadaiko with no musical scale instrument. TAKEMI is good at her "hand buyo" (hand dance). Singing folk song is also one of her main performance activities. She had won countless first place on Folk Song Competition.
