shu-shu!
On Wednesday, I went out to Shibuya Soft for the last occurrence of monthly all-night event "Shu-shu!". After one year they had to put an end to it because since it was mid-week (1st Wednesday of the month), even though free, it didn't attract many people.
The event featured both members of the great indies band New Castle, and also 8-bits' Fukuta Takeshi. For the short time I was there, from about 22:15 until 23:30 when I had to go catch the last train, Nakamura-san (pictured) and Fukuta-san DJ'd battle-style, playing one song each in turn, and that was a lot of fun!
I heard that later in the night, even Konishi Yasuharu paid a visit! Too bad I had to leave so soon, but that's my salaryman life...!
New Castle were also selling their new ¥500 CD-R EP, out in January, and I had been waiting impatiently for a chance to pick it up. It contains the 3 songs "ai no Theme", "rauchen und trinken" and "shu-shu". My favorite has to be "rauchen und trinken", a truly brilliant original disco vocoder track that I can't help putting on repeat. "shu-shu" is a very techno-pop cover sung in English, reminding me of YMO.
