Music event: On Friday the 25th, I went down to Yokohama to see the Scooters! They performed at an old style live music restaurant called Friday, which seems to be famous as a place where Crazy Ken Band (of Yokohama) often perform. I rarely go outside of Tokyo to see a show, but I thought this was a great opportunity! I ordered Tahiti curry which was very good!
For the 1st set, the Scooters' girls wore new cheetah print outfits designed by latest member Coco (of fashion brand Masse Mensch). Part of that set was "Hey Girl" which is a great original song from album "Une Manche et La Belle". The set ended with latest song "Be My Baby" for which Hoshino Michiru joined to recite her narrative part.
The 2nd set began with MC Turban Chada Jr. on guitar accompanied by the other vocalists. They first sang "kanashii uwasa" (YouTube) from the same album as above, a song written by Konishi Yasuharu. This set also included the Scooters' signature Motown Medly and more great covers. Towards the end of the show, there was a special appearance of Nomiya Maki who was in the audience, to give a flower bouquet to leader Shindō Mitsuo for his birthday (the following day)!
There was an encore of "Tokyo Disco Night" for which Michiru-chan joined once again. They performed the song in the same style as the single version of her cover, in which verses are sang in turn by her and the Scooters. That was great! Thanks for a wonderful show! :)
