Choir Kashuan

Japan

The name of our group has a literal meaning of the "Hermitage of Gathered Flowers" in Japanese. It implies that each artistic character, like a flower, gathers together to express different attractiveness through various music.
We are searching after "new" things. It does not follow that we try newly composed songs, or strange things. We don't cling to the word of "chorus" but agressively deal with tasks, believing the expression we love.
And the "newness" we are aiming for is of relative value. It already exists in the world of choruses and other arts. It may not be up to date, but that does not matter. We are actively seeking what we want to do. What we perform today may not be new, but I hope you can feel our spirit.
