From Tokyo to Kobe. We arrived to today’s venue Star Club in Sannomiya, Kobe. The show was two-man show with 4 boys band Gagaga SP. THe vocalist Mr. Maeda of the band gave me cakes which produced by his friend. They were so tasty. Thanks!
For opening, Mr. Maeda and I went on stage and show our Kakizome works which is Japanese traditional calligraphy. I wrote the words unity of rock.
Opening act was LUCY & THE LIPSTIX They are gram band. Skinny boys wore shiny costumes like New York Dolls and playd music. It reminds me of Redd Kross’s friend band Celebrity Skin.
Then Shonen Knife. We played Parrot Polynesia after a long long time. I wrote it 20 years ago. I think it is a crazy genius song. We rocke 14 songs set in front of packed audience.
Last act was Gagaga SP. Their performance was tight and lyrics are cute. Their songs reminds me 70’s folk music in Japan. Mr. Maeda wore Shonen Knife T-shirt. Thank you!
I came back home around midnight. I could spent significant 2 days. Thank you for coming to our shows!
