Fukuoka, Japan, June 28, 2017 --(PR.com)-- A new-generation digital music instrument called "KAGURA," developed by the Japanese company Shikumi Design Inc. (Fukuoka, Japan, CEO Shunsuke Nakamura Ph.D.), was exhibited in Nashville, Texas, USA from June 18 to 22, 2017 at part of the Sports Garden Corporation booth, at the world's largest bowling convention "International Bowl Expo 2017."
The goal of the collaboration with Sports Garden Corporation (Kurume, Fukuoka pref., Japan), which develops sports related amusement facilities, was to recreate the jukebox experience in bowling alleys.
Mr. Masaru Yoshida, director of the Sports Garden corporate division, who handled this exhibition, commented, "I remember the time people used to listen to music at the jukebox of a bowling alley. Since then, bowling and music could not be separated. Through the Sports Garden x KAGURA collaboration I was able to take that first step in reviving that time. A lot of visitors got interested in our booth. I can't forget the smiling faces of the guests who have played with KAGURA! So we will continue to collaborate in order to add more value through entertainment with 'KAGURA'."
About KAGURA
KAGURA was developed for the purpose of offering anyone the chance to become a musician and performer, only by using a PC/Mac with a camera. Using an innovative image processing interface, we were able to realize a unique free playing style using movements of the body, even without any prior musical knowledge.
KAGURA has won the first Grand Prix as an Asian startup in the pitch contest held in Barcelona, Spain, Sónar+D 2016, along with numerous other international awards. Currently on sale for $ 499 on the official website. You can also enjoy a free trial version.
