This coming weekend (September 14-16) will see e-zuka and Takita playing together Friday night, and Takita on Saturday night.

 

Friday night, e-zuka and Takita will be joining Kyosokarma — vocalist Taka, shamisen player KIJI — in Shinjuku. Unfortunately, tickets for this apparently went on sale in July, and it’s sold out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tickets might still be available for Takita’s Saturday live at the Osaka Jack Lion, where he’ll be joining guitarist Yonekawa Hideyuki, drummer Kawaguchi Chisato and keyboardist Yabuki Taku.

You can submit a request for tickets here. Be sure to include your name, your mobile phone number and number of tickets needed. Tickets are 4,000 yen in advance.

e-zuka announced in his blog today that they’ve been rehearsing for a show with bamboo flute player Kinohachi that will take place in Beijing in the middle of June.

e-zuka has apparently known Kinohachi for many years (he shares some older blog entries from 14 years ago where the two of them were together in Tokamachi).

Eagle-eyed fans may also recognize – KIJI – as the fox-masked shamisen player from the Y.W.F. live at Fuji Q back in 2012.

Kinohachi’s website lists a tour option from Japan to Beijing. Details can be seen here.

Details

Performers:  KinoHachi (shakuhachi),  – KIJI – (shamisen), Takeuchi Jun (violin), Iizuka Masaaki (guitar), Takita Isamu (bass), Takayama June (keyboard) & Yoshihisa
Ichikawa (drums)
Date:  June 16, 2018
Time:  Doors Open @ 18:30 / Show Starts @ 19:30 (CST)
Venue:  Chinese National Library Center for the Arts  (No. 33 South Street, Zhongguancun, Haidian District, Beijing, China)

The event organizers say there were > 830 boxes of curry left (over 1,100 were sold!) and they’d really like to sell the rest.

Sale and delivery is only in Japan, but if you’re outside Japan, and interested, feel free to contact me and we can work something out.

If you’re inside Japan, it’s cash on delivery, except in the case of Okinawa and other “remote” islands. Each box is 1,000 yen, and there will be a cash on delivery charge based on the number of boxes purchased. Delivery will be within one week of ordering.

To order, email the following info to gaisenlive@crest.ocn.ne.jp:

Zip

Name
Phone number

e-zuka posted some personal sight-seeing tips for Tokamachi to his blog this week.

Food:  He says anywhere you go, the food’s going to be good, and to be sure to try the goods provided at the event by local vendors

Locations:

1) Hatoya glasses studio (run by his cousin; he once bought a guitar and amp from here, so maybe a bit more than a glasses shop?)

2) Shimada Pharmacy (run by a friend who is in the GR copy band 「牛牛隊」; he appeared on the TBS GR show)

3) Atago kindergarten (where wee e-zuka attended)

4) Tokamachi elementary school (ditto; he says he had asthma as a kid and the climb to the school was hard)

5) Tokamachi gymnasium (where he played tennis) and the Tokamachi Municipal Hall (his last high school concert)

6) Suwa Jinja Shrine (his little sister was married here; and the family went to hatsumode here each year)

7) Tokamachi high school

8) Honjoin Gokoku temple

9) Echigo-Tsumari Cultural Hall (the venue!)

His full directions can be found in the blog entry.

Happy 51st birthday to Granrodeo’s maestro! Yesterday he visited the ESP e-zuka Museum, where he received a cake designed to look like a plate of curry, a nice card from Kiiyan and an ESP “らぶちゃき” (Love Chaki) guitar from the Ro-gumi members. The guitar is currently on display at the ESP museum, for those who’d like to see it.
