Thoughts on my playing:

  • Keep head up during introductory roll
  • Don’t let toes go up
  • Correct head and make the slow Matsuri more tenseful
  • wait a bit more until changing feet of solo
  • Let left hand travel further after hitting ka
  • Head towards the drum during Omiyage B section choreography
