Taiko came to me in my dreams last night as it sometimes but very rarely does. Interestingly enough, there were a bunch of SDT members there like victoria, chelsey, bobby, eric, kathy, and maybe tora, but there were a bunch of other folks I didn't recognize. In any event we practiced vocals and it wasn't kiyari ha ha. I've recorded part of the tune since its sort of hard to hold on to... and the lyrics were freaking in japanese so I don't remember it at all. Words like taiko, onna, and fuiteru float in and out of a jumbled mess of japanese that the strangers sang.
The two songs were largely call and response. Men sing freaking low... girls in the alto range... for the warm up song. The second song is sung at a tenor for men, and alto for girls. Drums are yodan odaiko style, so sideways, but short.
There was a second song that we warmed up with... but that one I don't remember at all, because everyone else was singing, but I was freaking out about my own affairs. I realized in my dream that I was probably having a fever because I was sweating a lot, and this girl who had come back from somewhere (one of the strangers) was like, 'what's this water on the floor'. Something happens where I get sweat and blood on her.. the blood was from stubbing my foot on something earlier maybe. Yeah.. the rest is gone at this point.
