(1) Out of Tokyo

Vol. 075: Waratte iitomo,
by Ozaki Tetsuya

I've just seen two versions of the "Waratte iitomo," (comma
included) video that has been in the headlines recently. Put
together by sampling and remixing scenes from the "Waratte iitomo"
(no comma) variety program that has been running on Fuji TV for
more than 20 years, the video was awarded a special prize by the
jury of the Kirin Art Award 2003. The two existing versions are
the original plus a version that was censored for the public
screening at the presentation of "Kirin Art Award" prize-winning
works, for reasons of copyright and right of portrait. The original
I saw at the SQUID - YAMAMOTO Gallery, where I also spotted a
young man who looked very much like "Waratte iitomo," creator K.K.,
but that was probably someone else.

(2) Event Pick of the Week
=============================================================

Sonore Japan Tour

Since 2003 the originally French Sonore label is based in Tokyo,
and this is their first major showcase event. The label has been
focusing on Japanese avantgarde/experimental music, the variety
of which is well represented by Yuko Nexus6, Wono Satoru, and
Hoppy Kamiyama, who all released albums on Sonore and are now on
tour in Japan. While Hoppy usually surprises alone with his
appearance (leave alone excellent musical skills), Yuko Nexus6
uses the whole event space to pull tapes out of their cases and
play them on a walkman. For the first time in front of a Tokyo
audience will be Satanicpornocultshop, and that's another optical
highlight. All artists have in common a highly entertaining
"performance" element, so here you'll be able to experience
avantgarde music not only to listen but also to watch, feel, and
have fun.
