NDK 2007: Day 1

NDK started off pretty good. No real programming until 5:30, but we had some great Taiko drummers to launch us off.

After that we had opening ceremonies, followed by a Madhouse panel/Q&A and then rounding out the evening with a concert by Lisa Furukawa.

All in all it was a great day. Below is links to pictures from the various events as well as some short videos of the Taiko drummers.
