Chez les dada (Nuit Dada report)
Tonight we went to SuperDeluxe to check out the event Nuit Dada à Tokyo (Dada Night in Tokyo) organized by Sonore and the French embassy. The event featured a nice bunch of indies artists. Those I was most looking forward to were Giragira Knights and Satanicpornocultshop.
Giragira Knights
Kishino You-ichi wears a traditional outfit and dances out the lyrics to the songs that Himitsu Hakase DJs and sings in a cacophony of reverb. Aside from some enka classics, we were treated to a Japanese version of the Carpenters' "Yesterday Once More", and "Bohemian Rhapsody" in its original Queen version.
Exonemo
Exonemo made music from... I don't really know what, but on the large screen showed up names of keys I assumed he pressed (lots of open brackets, spaces and slashes), and there was a suspended Pikachu balancing around and other toy-like instruments.
satanicpornocultshop
Last (before it was our time to go home anyway) was satanicpornocultshop, a band formed of strange alien-like musicians with names like Ghammehuche, *es, Vinylman and Ugh. Some of the characters first walked around the audience sticking obscure kanji sheets on people's back. Then the show began, and they played everything from noise-like electronics to hip-hop to covers of Asaoka Megumi's "watashi no kare wa hidarikiki" and MC Hammer's "You can't touch this".
