Details of Hatoha Matsuri for performers
Miwa Shrine
Tada and Rein will be at the bottom of the hill at the beginning of the ritual. Sara will already be at the top, inside the shrine.
When all the guests have arrived, any time after 10:15pm, Rein will begin drumming and walking up the hill towards the Shrine. Tada will walk up along side.
When Rein walks into the shrine she will wake up the shrine with her drumming.
After Rein is done, Tada will explain how to pray at the shrine to everyone:
8 bows, 8 claps, 1 bow.
Next Tada will read the Ryujin Norito (Dragon Prayer).
After, Tada will transition to Sara who will offer a crystal bowl bath at the Shrine.
When Sara is done, she will lead everyone in a toning, to infuse the Shrine with energy.
When the toning is done, Tada will welcome and thank the guests. He will explain the 'offering time' for the guests and tell them about when and where lunch is.
Kominka
The Japanese below is for Kenichi
Let's take a short moment during lunch to check our sound and volumes.
ランチ中に短い音量の合わせをしましょう。
After lunch, the plan is to begin the afternoon ceremony at 1pm. The lengths of time below are recommendations.
午後の一時に午後セレモニーを始めます。
Rein will hit her drum 8 times to signal the beginning of the afternoon ceremony.
まずレインが太鼓を８回叩き、セレモニーの開始を示します。
Sara will begin by doing a crystal bowl and voice performance. Sara can decide if she'd like to take small breaks in her set. (20-30min)
SARAさんのソロ・パフォーマンスで始めます（２０-３０分）。通して１曲としてプレイするか曲の合間の小さいいブレイクなどを取るかはSARAさんの自由に任せます。
Then Kenichi will join in for Eudaemonia. Eudaemonia can decide if she'd like to take small breaks in her set.(30-40min)
賢一さんがピアノで加わってEUDAEMONIAが始まります（３０-４０分）。通して１曲としてプレイするか曲の合間の小さいいブレイクなどを取るかはEUDAEMONIAさんの自由に任せます。
Then Rein and Tada will join in for Sound Princess. The four of us will agree beforehand on a cue for when we join in. We will do a very slow 10-minute transition from Eudaemonia to the DJing that builds up the rhythm and harmony very subtly. (10min)
The sound will probably be quite ambient overall.
This is an experiment (lol).
レインとタダが太鼓とDJとボイスで SOUND PRINCESSとしてEUDAEMONIAの即興演奏に加わります（１０分~?）。事前に四人でこのトランジションのキューを決めましょう。１０分間を通して非常にスローなペースで徐々にリズム、ハーモニーをビルドアップしてDJタイムへトランジションします。
全体的にアンビエントな感じにすると思います。今の
これは、実験ですw。
This completes the ceremony and the rest is an open party. Kenichi and Sara are welcome to sit in and perform more at any time.
レインとタダのDJに完全にトランジションしてセレモニーは終わり、そこからはオープンのパーティです。賢一さんとSARAさんは好きなように即興にジョインしてくれてOKです。
