The Suwa region of Japan has many mountains. In the spring, the melting snow flows into great rivers. These rivers carve unpredictable paths down the mountainside. This song is inspired by the changing current of these big rivers.


The song is about the spirit of Perseverance. Yakudo has gone through many periods of growth and change and this piece chronicles our journey.


The "fighting spirits" of this song will display their strength, endurance and finesse. Through friendly competition they challenge each other to achieve more and more, until finally in a last burst of energy they explode as equals.


A storm is building at Suwa - starting with a few innocent drops of rain, slowly building into a downpour as thunder rolls in and lightening claps over the mountains. This is a traditional Suwa piece passed down by Osuwa Daiko - "Thunder at Suwa"


In the spring young horses taste their first days of life. This piece captures the exuberance of these young horses as they are released from winter captivity. Cautious at first, the horses eventually learn to run wild and free.


Shudan means a gathering of people. It is Yakudo's wish that with the sound of the Taiko and their music, they will bring people together in joy and harmony.

 

Dark Sector, Digital Extremes released its high-res trailer. The slick-looking preview showed a high-tech commando evading power-armored guards inside a space station. Music for the teaser was provided by YAKUDO.
