Content
From today we are learning a new CUSTOM Song!! We will learn it in several parts. This video introduces the phrase in the first section of the Sakura Custom Variation. Please focus on Uchi technique in your practice and try to bring out the core atmosphere of the song. One of the important points for this song is to be careful not to strike your Bachi too strongly and to produce a gentle sound.
