Music Stage The Great Attraction: report

The Great AttractionLast night was the release party for Konishi Yasuharu's remix compilation "Attractions!". Titled "The Great Attraction", the all-night event featured 12 DJs, and was held at Sasazuka Bowl! That's right, a bowling lane! It had been a long time since I went to an all-night event, but I couldn't resist to this unique party.

The charge of ¥2000 included bowling, and free coke and popcorn all night! Actually those who bought the album at Tower Records could even get in for free, and while I wasn't one of those (I had bought it online already), I was very lucky to win a pair of tickets in a contest on Twitter!

The space near the entrance was used as a dancefloor, while the bowling lanes served their usual purpose. All large screens in the bowling lanes showed mondo videos à la Readymade! If only bowling always looked and sounded like that!

Konishi-san of course had a lot of play time, a total of 2 hours throughout the evening, in-between other DJs which included Tokiwa Hibiki, Hirabayashi Shinichi (Moodsville), Uchikado Hiroshi (Ballroom), Arai Toshiya, Jimmy Mashiko, Yoshinaga Shunsuke and more.

I played two games, my best score was of 103 which I was really happy with considering this was just my 2nd time bowling (Wii Sports doesn't count).

Scores were recorded through the evening as part as a tournament. Prizes were given to the best and worst bowlers. The top prize was of a large trophy and 20 records of Konishi's remix works! One of the prizes for the worst was Dragon Quest 4 played only halfway by Readymade's boss Hasebe Chisai. :)

Many thanks to Konishi-san and Victor for this great night! I hope it will happen again!

I wish I could fly there, dance all night, & come back home!
