Jemapur’s Evacuation: The Visuals
Here’s a taste of what you will get on the DVD of Jemapur’s new album, Evacuation, to be released on November 26th. Thanks to all our directors: Kosai Sekine, Max Hattler, and Genki Ito.
I’m quite excited about this release, Jemapur being a very talented friend who I introduced to the lab. Although I didn’t really get to participate in the production of this album (got sidetracked on “real” work), I hope to watch as Jemapur’s music takes him to more and more interesting places. There’s already strong signs of this, as he’s been invited to play at Kokugikan in a high-profile event (I’m sure it’s his biggest ever) that Hifana was featured in last year.

Super Entertainment
I almost never blog anymore, but this is just crazy ridiculous. I only just found out about Emily from Neojaponisme. She also has her own アメブロ where I found out that she is a Tujiko Noriko fan! Here is her DVD. This whole thing is just blowing my mind on all kinds of levels.

I’ll be there for Tokyo.Ten in LA
I’ll be setting up the Los Angeles Tokyo.Ten show at Nucleus Gallery, which is in Alhambra, very near my old turf of Pasadena, where I lived while attending Art Center. It could be a little bit strange and definitely a natsukashii experience. I’ll also play a set of some of my fave Japanese music at the opening party on the night of November first. I am not at all familiar with the LA scene but hopefully I will see some ppl show up for it! If you are an LA-based J-phile I can at least promise you will like what you see (and hear). Some more info here.
