arcorhyme live at Grand Cru (vol.6): report

Until last time, they had been holding this monthly event on a Sunday afternoon, but after CD shop Après-midi Seleçao has moved together with restaurant Grand Cru, arcorhyme has switched the event to Monday evening at dinner time. Last Monday was a national holiday so they held it on Tuesday instead.

This time, instead of the usual two arcorhyme sets, one set was given to Love of Peace and Hope, a neo-GS side-unit of Takanami K-tarō together with The Phantom Gift's Sally Kubota (bass) and Charly Morita (drums).

arcorhyme went first, and Sally Kubota joined them for the last 3 songs, and I was delighted that they also played my Les 5-4-3-2-1 request from last time!

The set went as follows:
Sugarbabe's itsumo dōri / Yuming's kitto ieru / arcorhyme's aoi neko / Les 5-4-3-2-1's Miracle Manège / arcorhyme's koi no jigoku / Hippy Hippy Shakes' hen na onna no ko

Then there was a set of Love of Peace and Hope, and while I didn't recognize most of the songs (I think they were mostly neo-GS covers), I think they did play a few songs by The Phantom Gift. Charly sang and played tambourine, Sally played bass and K-tarō guitar, and these two also sang back vocals, the whole sounded great!

At the end of the set Ikuyo came back on stage for a session of these two songs:
Bang Bang's "ichigo hakusho" o mō ichido, The Phantom Gift's Heart ni OK! ("OK in your heart!")

I bought a T-shirt of Love of Peace and Hope, and some dead stock Phantom Gift badges. When telling Charly that I have the album, he gave me a bonus set of badges. :)
