"ELEVEN" is a song of prayer and hope. On March 11, 2011, a massive earthquake struck Japan, followed by a tsunami. In an instant, many lives were lost, towns were destroyed, and daily life came to a halt. After enduring many days of isolation, when we could finally gather again to play the taiko, this song was born.

While "ELEVEN" was born from the events of 3.11, it is now a song that transcends not only that moment but also Japan itself, resonating with everyone.

When we play the taiko, we become a pathway connecting heaven and earth. The sound travels along that path. I would like to share this precious song of hope with all of you who have encountered taiko in this life.” - Kaoly
