Atsuko Koseki
Goze Song performer, creator, and instructor

After graduating from a theater school,
I worked hard in a theater company.
However, I was troubled by my lack of ability.
Then,
I was fascinated by the shamisen I experienced on a trip,
I started learning to the shamisen.
My negative personality turned into a positive one,
And then..,
at the theater company I belonged to at the time.
We decided to create a play about "Goze," a blind female traveling entertainer,

2011 〜
I learned goze songs from Naoko Kayamori, the last apprentice of the last goze, Haru Kobayashi.

I was fascinated by its powerful, rustic, rough and unique view of the world and freedom.
I became a Goze Song performer.

I am active in performing Goze Song, writing original songs, producing CDs, and instructing Goze Song for the movie "Goze", etc.
