1
00:00:38,247 --> 00:00:42,559
I'm en route to Sado Island -
my first stop in Japan

2
00:00:42,727 --> 00:00:46,276
on the way to Korea and China.

3
00:00:55,007 --> 00:00:57,885
I'm impatient to get there.

4
00:01:01,727 --> 00:01:04,605
Sado Island is where the Kodo drummers live.

5
00:01:22,767 --> 00:01:26,203
I first saw them perform ten years ago.

6
00:01:27,207 --> 00:01:32,964
Their sheer power and energy
has stayed in my memory ever since.

00:01:35,367 --> 00:01:40,646
Which is why I've come to this modest,
respectable, out-of-the-way island.

8
00:01:46,767 --> 00:01:51,443
In the Middle Ages, Sado was a place of exile.

9
00:01:51,607 --> 00:01:57,364
Now it's where the Kodos work and train,
and they've invited me to join them for a day.
