This performance took place on November 4th, 2023 in PJ and Roy Hirabayashi’s hometown of San Jose, and reflects on five decades of their passion, creativity, and hope for the future. Through their stories and music, PJ and Roy will share their personal journey in discovering how taiko can be a force for social change, equality, and expression. We invite the taiko community and all supporters to join us in celebrating this incredible milestone, as we come together in gratitude and unity for the art form that has transformed lives and uplifted the human spirit.
