June 9, 2013 ... in Osaka, Japan, the rainy season begins these days and it was a bit wet and hot ... also in Nakatsu Vi-Code, where http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=4699" rel="nofollow - DJAMRA , http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=6854" rel="nofollow - ZONK MONK , and Taku YABUKI UNIT (Taku, active in Tokyo, has already been quite renowned as an ex-keyboardist of http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1218" rel="nofollow - KOENJIHYAKKEI ). We had ALREADY absorbed in such an amazing atmosphere, actually! http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_3_zps603df1dc.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Ai ONUMA (keyboards, pedal bass) http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_4_zps18607cc5.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Shoko NAGASAKI (keyboards, pedal bass) At first, our super twin-female-keyboard-based Neo-Prog combo http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=6854" rel="nofollow - ZONK MONK appeared on stage, with fascinating mystic beauty via two gorgeous (but aggressive) keyboardists. http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_5_zps9c5bbc5e.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Keigo "Kegoi" TAKADA (drums, percussion) Aaand a drummer guy suddenly got a lot of hair on his head! (One of the most surprising issues tonight.) http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_2_zps5ebc2620.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  They started playing with a brilliant track "Flow Of Time", that rang our bells via Kegoi's powerful drumming and twin beautiful keyboard-created drama. http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_6_zpsc7e428b6.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  The following track was http://www.progarchives.com/mp3.asp?id=5528" rel="nofollow - "U.T. - A Hole In Danger" ... an exhaustive mixture of pop / danceable sections and horrifying heavy depth via metallic keyboard sounds. Very addictive as well. http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_7_zpse208d648.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_8_zpse3a2225d.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_9_zps345a34c9.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_10_zps2e356639.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Very cool ... http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_11_zpsdd41c2a6.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_12_zpsd7408c69.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_13_zps0a3cfec5.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  And funny / funky MCs ... their talk did not mesh with each other (although they'd tried their best ... I launched "hey, all the best!" without intention lol). http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_16_zps189b885e.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_17_zps0084c2d6.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  But their play did never crash at all, of course. The third "Air", a traditional song for them, reminded us something safe and sound, as if we had left ourselves into the green air, created mainly by Ai's fingers. http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_18_zpsc6507cb7.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_14_zps63f04ac1.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Oh ...  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_15_zps9321ba67.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_19_zps8c265edb.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Oooh ... http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_20_zps81d75cd1.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Ouch!  (Sorry)... Joking aside, the last was their masterpiece "Disorder - Out Of The Cosmos" composed by Ai, completely driving us mad, with its theatrecal kicks! http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/ZM090613_1_zpsc5cfa107.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  As a matter of fact, Shoko played perfectly "an octave lower", regardless of her "broken" keyboard (three keys were completely broken maybe in transit). Let me say, give Shoko a big hand yeah!

Yes today was "keyboardist day", and Takehiko FUKUDA (keyboards) in disguise with silver hair (what a hoot). http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/DJ090613_3_zpsd566f446.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Takehiko FUKUDA (keyboards) ... he was the hero (heroine?) tonight!

Their newest one "Kihihi", a instrumental track that represents a mad yellow baboon attacks a group of flamingos, reminded us brutal scenes like the end of a flamingo life ... with Masaharu's lazy MC (called as "matchlock gun talk, not machine gun talk" by Masaharu lol). http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/DJ090613_11_zpscdd409d1.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Very 'azy, very 'unny ... ugh http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/DJ090613_12_zps85e65a11.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/DJ090613_14_zpsb4669a26.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Sayaka KAWADA (trumpet) was another heroine also tonight (my luv )!http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/DJ090613_13_zps6bd77f14.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/DJ090613_19_zps2e45a1c2.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/DJ090613_18_zps1c855478.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Always steady drumming by Akihiro "Enon" ENOMOTO (drums, percussion)  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/DJ090613_17_zpsce641cbf.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/DJ090613_20_zps6ec640d2.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Masaharu NAKAKITA (bass) ... his play was superb, despite of his matchlock gun talk (lol). Shinji (KITAMURA; alto saxophone)'s drastic shout was quite cool in "The Cave". http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/DJ090613_8_zps1b5454db.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  But his talk was a bit closer to machine gun than Msaharu hahhaha. http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/DJ090613_10_zps9078c75d.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/DJ090613_9_zps032f53e3.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Sayaka was too shy shy to talk at all. http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/DJ090613_15_zpsaaadddc5.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1208.photobucket.com/user/Keishiro_Maki/media/DJ090613_16_zps637df42f.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Two "top" were great indeed ... their combination was splendid! Their playlist was as follows;
 We Osakan rock freaks have completely got immersed in DJAMRA's fantastic / fascinating / funky / funny / f****** play ... oh yeah!

^ Thanks Thanos!  Oh indeed ... but luckily a "enthusiastic" guitarist was in Taku Yabuki Unit. ------------- http://www.facebook.com/damoxt7942" rel="nofollow">

There ain't a whole lot of stuff you can find on those artists, but I hope that the people here will take some interest in what goes on in that place. Mostly jazz/fusion, some KC+VdGG, some dancing.
