“Takep Dance" is an original performance, using bamboo instruments called “Seigo-on (written by 「誠五音（せいごおん）」in Japanese-character)” and “Takep Shoes” created by SEIGO himself. He performs a double role in this instrumental performance: while making various kinds of rhythm on “Takep Shoes”, he plays “Seigo-on” to make some melody or rhythm. (and the word “Takep Dance” is a combination of Japanese and English words for “Take” and “tap dance”. “Take” means “bamboo” in Japanese.)
