arcorhyme afternoon live at Grand Cru (vol.4): report

Today was the 4th time arcorhyme played their monthly afternoon show at Après-midi Grand Cru in Shibuya. I went there with my friend Miwa-chan, and upon entering the elevator we met Naoto-san and his friend, and soon after solange et delphine's Hase-san and Yumi-chan. Sally Kubota (Sally Soul Stew, Les 5-4-3-2-1) was also there!

When we got there, the place was full, mostly with people finishing their lunch (it was near 1pm). We were going to enjoy the first set while standing, but some people left and we had enough tables to all get seated together. We enjoyed the show while eating pasta and chatting together.

This time, arcorhyme were accompanied by Kuricorder Quartet's Kawaguchi Yoshiyuki who played saxophone, harmonica, cajón and other percussions. Young bassist Karibu-kun also accompanied on a few songs.

Today they really gave it all on the request cover side, with 5 fulfilled requests! Kaji Hideki's debut single was a lot of fun, and also I really liked "momen no Hankerchief" and "kimi naki sekai". Here are both full set lists.

Set #1 (from 13:00): arcorhyme's amai hibi (from album "la douce vie") / Kaji Hideki's La Boom ~datte My Boom Is Me~ / Hayase Yukako's Glass no Replicant / Ohta Hiromi's momen no Hankerchief / Yuming's kimi naki sekai / arcorhyme's aoi neko (from album "la douce vie")

Set #2 (from 14:00): John Sebastian's Do you believe in magic? (covered by arcorhyme on album "la douce vie") / kimi naki sekai / Glass no Replicant / momen no Hankerchief / Minami Saori's sakanatachi wa doko e / aoi neko

Those were two nice sets, a bit more lively than usual because of the percussions. On my way out I bought some random idol LP from Takanami Records (Takanami-san's record flea market), Yoshimoto Miyoko's "Surf Wind" (¥300).

arcorhyme's next show will be on Sunday July 20. Same time, same place.

On my way back to Shibuya station, I found this space invader somewhere near the Seibu parking.

Oh and by the way to get to Shibuya I used the new metro line, called Fukutoshin! It's now the cheapest and easiest and fastest way to get to Shibuya from my place (not counting the fact that I have a commuter pass using another line). The train felt rather normal, but the stations are so brand new and nice. However it's a bit of a walk from the Shibuya platform to Hachikō. I even lined up with the train otaku to take a photo.
