Last Weekend
Was a fun one. Saturday was Riow Arai and Pandatone’s show at Office Gaienmae. This event featured a whole lot of great acts, in the lovely, personal, comfortable, wi-fi enabled space that is Office, and for a mere ¥1000 (or in my case for free ^_^). Many lovely guests also stopped in, and I have a small number of photos of some of them. Looking back on my photo-journalist attempts on these types of evenings it is usually quite apparent that I am a drunk person with a sub-par digital camera. This is also apparent from the fact that I actually forgot said camera at the venue, and had to go back and pick it up tonight, hence the late update.
Nevertheless some decent, lo-fi movies of the live performances usually come out. In this case there are a very small number of Pandatone, Arai-san, and female laptop / singing duo Groopies... And then there are a large number of Shugo Tokumaru (I guess I am showing some kind of bias here)! I much prefered this solo performance to the one he gave last week with a very large band. I am sure a lot of it just has to do with the atmosphere however.
PS. See a retarded picture of me at this event (scroll down a bit) on digiki’s blog!
Additionally I saw Motocompo and Metalchicks who were both in top form (and about 10 minutes of some Swedish techno guy who was slightly intolerable) on Sunday. No photos / movies from that one though.
