Since then, its distinctive sound has gained huge popularity amongst the Japanese and foreigners alike.

To DHSJCC members: Anyone of you interested to go? Please tell me before 17 Feb. =D We can organize a club outing if response is strong enough. It’ll be a good exposure to the traditional culture of Japan — something you don’t see everyday in Singapore.
