and some random favs from the tour

Kano of haku. is one of the most expressive musicians I've ever seen. from her facial expressions to her movement on stage.

Koryo of yureruwayurei is not just a great bassist, but a bundle of unrestrained energy. he crowdsurfed during other bands' sets, he was in constant motion while on stage. he demanded the promoter of the shows also crowd surf. and he invited the whole audience to dance with him on stage in Montreal. (this shot was taken from the stage lol)

Souta Nakano of pudelhund's glasses. Which repeatedly flew off his head. Sometimes into the crowd. He was not the only musician to lose his glasses, as Koryo from yureruwayurei lost his glasses, as well as his wallet during the shows (and they were safely returned)

and yureruwayurei, a bit shoegaze, with a huge, dynamic sound. felt like every quiet moment was on the verge of explosion. their bassist, Koryo is incredible, his energy made the whole tour even better.

heres an example of how it was during haku. being in front of bass amp def didn't help, but I did hear Kano nice and clear so I cant complain there at all. fuckin great bassists all around this tour. Kano and Koryo (yureru wa yurei) both just in constant motion

manami kakudo is simply the greatest musician in the world it's so obvs why Hosono has trusted her w the marimba ... and water bowl?? in his live band. concerts seem so full of people talking lately but when with Hosono off the stage, Radio City was dead silent for Kakudo and Ikuko. Incredible.
