The stories of the healing power which lies in art, especially music, are perhaps endless, both in fiction, but also in reality. Given the various modes of expression and the amount of freedom it provides for people, music may just be one of the most beautiful forms of art as well as the most delightful in terms of entertainment. Considering each culture has its own music and instruments, it goes without saying the number of stories in literature and film dealing with people finding their voice through music is enormous, and Yasuo Okuaki’s feature “Between Us” follows the formula as we witness the tale of two girls who find their own way to connect with each other and the world through the tradition of taiko drumming.
