Instructors
LA SEÑAS
Formed in 2016. A "frenzied percussion group" composed entirely of percussionists.
They are the first group in Japan to incorporate "Rhythm with Signs," an improvisational performance method utilizing hand signs.
A roaring sound struck by a large ensemble. Unpredictable developments unique to improvisational performance. Traditional yet innovative music. Their powerful performance invites all listeners into a "country of frenzy."
Their performances have been well-received across generations and races, and they are active in various locations regardless of the venue, including live houses, outdoor festivals, clubs, school gymnasiums, and workshops for children.
They are attracting attention from various fields, having appeared on TV Asahi's "EIGHT-JAM" during its percussion special, collaborating both domestically and internationally with artists such as Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai, Natsuko Nisshoku, KenKen (RIZE), and Keita Ogawa (Snarky Puppy), and being featured on Yahoo! News.
In September 2021, they released their 1st EP "La," and their 2nd EP "Señas" in December of the same year. In January 2024, they released their 1st album "Country of Frenzy" for nationwide distribution. In the same year, they held a tour in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. The tour final at Shibuya WWW was sold out.
In March 2025, with their 2nd album "Nekkyo wa Subete o Koete" (Frenzy Surpasses Everything) in hand, they held a Tokyo-Nagoya-Osaka tour, with all 4 performances, including the Shibuya WWWX show, sold out six months prior to the event.
In May 2026, they released their 3rd album "Nekkyo no Kanata e to Tsumugu" (Weaving Beyond Frenzy) and launched their largest-scale nationwide tour to date in May of the same year. The tour final concluded in grand style at Ebisu LIQUIDROOM.
They have created a huge buzz with appearances on TV Asahi's "EIGHT-JAM" and Nippon TV's "Oh! My God!". They have also participated in soundtracks and music for projects such as Mamoru Hosoda's film "Scarlet" and the brand movie for ISSEY MIYAKE. They boast collaborations with top-tier artists, including performing at live shows for Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai at Pia Arena MM and LaLa arena, as well as working alongside Natsuko Nisshoku, KenKen, the taiko performing arts group "Kodo," and Grammy Award-winning Keita Ogawa (Snarky Puppy).
