ASA-CHAN G & Pilgrimage
Shadowless human
There was no U-zhaan the pilgrimage to the launch to the Provence restaurant near the inn after the in-store live at FNAC, which was a great success. He said that he couldn't touch the tabla all day long after traveling from Japan, and he couldn't hit it as he wanted at the in-store live. Does his performance require so much training?
The next morning, the pilgrimage @ Nimes performance was unfortunately raining on the day of the production. I broke up with ASA-CHAN G and the staff who headed to the venue early for a sound check, and I went to another venue of L'EX. U-zhaan called when I was looking into Mr. Yamamoto's Man Bonsai Workshop and watching Mr. Hiroshi Mikami's rehearsals in the afternoon. "Take me to Provence cuisine too!" The room basket seems to have finished safely.
At about 4 pm, I arrived at the Nîmes Theater in the Old Town under a completely dark sky due to rain clouds. The theater has only recently been refurbished and is brand new, but its history dates back to the end of the 18th century. The second floor seats can comfortably accommodate approximately 800 people. It's a good hole! Sit on a seat above the balcony and look down on the stage, ASA-CHAN G and U-zhaan sit in the center, and Japanese, French and English staff will fly around the area to perform a careful sound check. Was there. There are also local TV and radio coverage crews. It seems that the L'EX side purposely created the same black lighting system that makes them stand out in white, which is almost the same as the one used in Japan.
The rain gradually increased, and it was pouring down just before the show. However, probably because of the high interest in Japanese music and the wide spread of L'EX promotion, seats steadily filled up with the opening, and more than 80% were seated at the start.
Following the starting sound of JUNRAYTRONICS, the song starts with "Parlor" where two important pilgrimage elements, trumpet and tabla, appear in one song. The volume is plentiful and the sound of the hall is quite good. Speaking of which, I've seen pilgrimage shows many times, but most of the time, I played at all-standing (or sitting directly on the floor) live houses and outdoor festivals. It was the first time for me to listen to the pilgrimage while filling my back with comfortable seats in a large concert hall with a pleasant reverberation.
Then to feat. Kyoko Koizumi's "back". Kyoko Koizumi's utterance method that sounds like a Japanese song singer might be heard by French people with a lot of exoticism.
Japanese characters that are familiar to foreigners, such as "Kaikyo" and "February", which have a sad melody reminiscent of Jinta and Chin Dong, and "Ichi, Ni, San, Si" based on the rhythm system of Indian classical music. By the time the "12th verse" was expressed using, the audience was fully immersed in the unique sound world of ASA-CHAN G & pilgrimage.

ASA-CHAN G & Pilgrimage
Percussionist ASA-CHAN G, program charge Hidehiko Urayama, and tabla U-zhaan.
With the concept of "single voice as an instrument", the words are engraved to the molecular level, and "inventive" music that speaks with tabla is characteristic, and it envelops the listener with a mysterious atmosphere.
In the past, in addition to Kyoko Koizumi and Hanaregumi in the work, in recent years he has performed lively in France and has been active in activities such as succeeding in the independent event "JUNRAY DANCE CHAN G".
