Groove Room
Last night I went out to "Groove Room" with some friends, a recent event featuring DJs Konishi Yasuharu and Arai Toshiya (Kofta), with guest DJ Suzuki Masanori (April Set).
The event is held at Shibuya Soft, a tiny bar with white interior.
I had my share of meeting interesting people, as aside from Arai-san and Konishi-san, Yoshida Tetsuto (Orangers, and also full-time programmer for Konishi Yasuharu), Nakata Yasutaka (capsule) were also there!
Today we're off to Fuji TV in Odaiba to attend a recording of the show Factory, a show that simulates a live house. Artists will include Tei Towa feat. AFRA and Yukalicious, Plastic Sex (the new project of Plastics' Nakanishi Toshio feat. Nomiya Maki on vocals), Dengeki Network (aka Tokyo Shock Boys), and Ram Rider.
It should be fun, but it should also be tiring, if I remember correctly my experience going there to see a Pizzicato Five tribute show in May 2002.
By the way, the new Tei Towa album, "Flash" 
, is great!! Check it out.

Hey, just stumbled across your blog, very interesting to read, and you've clarified some things for me. I certainly envy the fact that you've seen so many great band lives! In regards to Plastics Sex and the live you went to, a couple of those photos are great... would you mind terribly if I used them for (strictly-non-profit, obviously) graphics making? I don't want to rip your stuff without crediting...

Arai-kun is great! Although I just have mp3s. I really ought to see him live someday.

He gives a great set! Groove Room is pretty much the only event where he can be caught DJing lately. Next time is October 7.
Be sure to check out the just out "Readymade Digs Classics" album which includes two great tracks by him.
