VISIBLE - Mujō Dream Flight in Concert ft. Aki Oshiro
2026-04-04 16:00 | The Grand Annex, 434 W. 6th St., San Pedro, CA, 90731
Hear the thunderous rhythms of the drums that affirm our beautiful, resilient existence. Come feel the energy and celebrate the power of being truly seen. Mujō Dream Flight’s first full-length concert, VISIBLE, celebrates Trans Day of Visibility and explores how we resist social erasure when our race, gender, class and disability are all under attack.

Mujō Dream Flight (MDF) is the artistic vehicle of founding taiko artists Sasen Cain, Yeeman “ManMan” Mui, and Maxyn Rose Leitner. Based in Los Angeles, they collaborate locally and globally with other predominantly trans/non-binary taiko artists, creating both original works and traditional adaptations. MDF’s art centers dance and personal storytelling informed by their specific cultural backgrounds.
In 2023, MDF organized Blurring the Color Line with Taiko, a well-attended and deeply engaging afternoon arts experience connecting important questions about race, immigration, culture, and American-ness. The event allowed us all to hear from filmmakers, performing artists, community leaders, educators, and ethnomusicologists, as they share their experiences and ideas.
The same year, MDF embarked on its first national tour, called “Haimweh” (Bavarian for homesickness), with the dual aims of highlighting trans/non-binary peoples’ often-fraught connections with their hometowns & families, and a journey of retrieving the belongings of one of our members whose parents don’t accept faer transness, and reclaiming identity, belonging & inter-dependence. This tour was funded, in part, by a Taiko Community Alliance Tier 1 grant.
MDF gave voice to Queer Asian community in LA with our performance at:

The inaugural Okaeri’s Queer Obon (2023).
Transforming Community Care: AANHPI LGBTQIA2-S Mental Health and Wellness by LA Department of Mental Health
Cross cultural solidarity movement, the importance of being with community – FandangObon (2024)
Fusion, genre – the North American Taiko Conference in Phoenix, AZ (2025).

Suddenly, you’re flying First-Class on Pan-Am sipping dry martinis in a svelte three-button suit en route to Las Vegas where you’ll be dining with Steve McQueen at the Sands Hotel just before the Rat Pack show. That’s the level of cool we’re talking about here…

The Secret Agents were formed in 2018 with one mission: to bring the sounds of the ’60s back into the mainstream by celebrating the music of Bobby Darin, Mel Tormé, Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin, Johnny Rivers, Chet Baker, Matt Monro, Horace Silver, Georgie Fame & The Flames, The Buckinghams, Mickey & Sylvia, Del Shannon, The Association, and so many more!
So put on that dinner jacket, pour yourself a drink, and let’s twist again like we did so very long ago.
