Yamato wa totemo sugokatta desu.
Yesterday we saw the phantastic show of the Wadaiko Yamato - the drummers of Japan. It was great. Such powerful instruments which allow the audience to feel the music in a very direct way. Especially the big drums are very very Macho. From the other instruments played yesterday I preferred shamisen as it fit very nice to the beats. You also could hear koto and some flutes. I am really impressed and still excited although listening to this kind of music while going to the office may have some influence on your way of driving the car.
Of the songs I would recommend “Ran Ran” which includes the shamisen.
In respect of those great artists no mp3s and no images from the show here. You have to visit the show yourself and get your merchandise directly there (as I did, and it was really worth it). Get some wristbands, drum sticks and t-shirts and of course a CD and a DVD. Sadly my wife did not think that getting all of the previous mentioned was a good idea so the CD and the t-shirt were fine for me.

please can you help me. I am desperate to find 20 pairs of Yamato wristbands and do not know where I could buy these. I cant find anything on their website. Can you help me at all?
Thank you,
Liz.

I checked the website and the good news is that you can order online.
The bad news is that you have to do it from the Japanese version of the yamato homepage.
If you click on the link “グッズ” (which means goods) on the top navigation you will see the list of available items. On the items page the first link on the left will open up a page telling you how to order goods and the second link gives you a form to send the order.
As my Japanese is far from good it will be best if you grab some native Japanese near you and ask him/her to assist you when filling out the form.
Sorry that this is all I can do.
Greetings,
