You The Rock★ mini-live
Last Sunday I was lucky to catch a mini-live by You The Rock★ in front of LaForet Harajuku, promoting his upcoming album "Identity" 
.
I was walking on the other side of the street and usually wouldn't have cared for some loud hip-hop, but then I recognized his recent single "Grand Master Fresh" produced by Fantastic Plastic Machine! So I went to watch the show, which ended up being a lot of fun.
YTR is quite a character and it was fun to see him up-close. I had seen him live once before, at Pizzicato Five's last live (2001/3/31), but I can't say that I had enjoyed his performance back then which didn't really seem to fit in the middle of all the cool DJs.
Seeing him on his own this time was great though!
His gear mostly consisted of "his truck" equipped for throwing a party anywhere. At the back was even a small spinning disco ball. They were 7 rappers/dancers including him, and a DJ. The show lasted maybe half an hour. For the last song he climbed into a nearby tree, and then came down and rode a bicycle right through the crowd to make his way out. :)
The funniest thing about the show though can be seen on this picture! Can you find the two intruders and identify them? :) No cheating!

I guess those would have to be Cheech y Chong! Who on earth decided to make dolls of those two?
Is there someone hidden holding those up? Like some sort of puppet show?

Exact!! :)
Yes it was someone holding them and making them dance, well sort of!
I was very surprised to find these two! Not only because there are actual Cheech & Chong dolls (who would have thought!), but also because I think it's the first time I see any reference to them here. :)

so this dude can just party wherever the hell he goes? He doesn't go to parties, he's a moving party.
YTR is THE man.
