Music events: - Went to see "Indian Classics Tokyo 2018" at the Suginami Public Hall in Ogikubo, an event of classical North Indian music that we had also went to last year. Two pieces were played, the first one featuring organizer Terahara Tarō on bansuri and U-zhaan on tabla ("Raga Jhinjhoti：alap, gat in chartal ki sawari (11), drut tintal (16)"). The second piece featured H. Amit Roy on sitar and Ty Burhoe on tabla ("Raga Kaushiki：alap〜jod, gat in vilambit tintal, sitarkhani & drut tintal"). (Titles from Terahara Taro's Twitter.) Both were great!
- I dropped by an in-store event at Village Vanguard Shibuya featuring Way Wave and Hirose Aina, both of who's latest releases were produced by Seki Yoshihiko. Those releases also have in common the participation of Hase Yasuhiro (Yume To Cosme) who plays piano on Way Wave's "Summer Girl", and co-arranged Hirose Aina's "haru no hizashi".
Sister duo Way Wave first performed some covers, such as The Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love" and Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman". They then sang their new single "Summer Girl" (a great track that prompted me to get the 7"!) and its B-side "Lovin' You" (Minnie Riperton cover). Way Wave have great soulful voices.
Then was a set by Hirose Aina, a 15-year-old who introduces herself as just a regular schoolgirl, which seems true until she sings. Very nice vocals! Check out the clip below of a song written by Sokabe Keiichi (Sunny Day Service). At the end of her set Way Wave joined to sing together her song "sayonara, konnichiwa".
Hirose Aina set list: toki o kakeru shojo (Yuming cover) / haru no hizashi / otona ni nanka naranai de / sayonara, konnichiwa (w/ Way Wave)
