Weekly revue: 2019 week #3 (January 12 to 18)

Food: - Meals lunch at Ōiwa Shokudō, Nishi-Ogikubo
- Premium C.C. Rider burger at Teddy's Bigger Burgers, Harajuku

Music event: - On January 14, event "Cult Club ~MANON Sweet 17 SP~" was held at Shimokitazawa Three. A special edition of HNC's "Cult Club" series, this also celebrated MANON's upcoming 17th birthday (actually at the end of the month). The event also featured young rappers Tokyo Invaders, Kiwami on The Beats and Mom. All were fun and of great quality, and I especially enjoyed Mom!

MANON's set was backed by producer Yuppa (HNC), who always plays live keys and samplers, and VJ unit onnacodomo! They did a full set of 8 songs, including a brand new one that had some killer bass sounds and featured a guest vocalist, and the premiere of a new video clip for "Gomenne Girl" (from album "Teenage Diary"). It seems that the new song will be released digitally, hopefully soon as I can't wait to hear it again!

There was an encore which began with a cake (decorated with a photo of her and another of her cat's face). Normcore Boyz happened to be in the audience and they joined on stage for their remix version of "2 Live In A Real World", which was followed by "Popcorn Crisis".
