MASA solo acoustic show for Jack&Betty -
A Celebration of 60th Anniversary of Cinema

Hi

I can’t believe I have a few more gigs coming up before I’m going back to London and I’m very lucky to have these gigs.

I have 3×30 miniute-slot for the event ” A Trip To Films In The Distant Past. “. This is a celebration of 60th Anniversary of the independent cinema Jack&Betty. The event involves a cinema poster exhibition ” Cinema and Play Design Work” by Masakatsu Ogasawara and 2 talk shows.

I will be playing after an opening party and talk shows. Mr Inayoshi (the owner of an event space Nitehi Works) and Mr Ogasawara kindly gave me 3 slots even at last minute. How lucky I am!

It will be a great exposure to O-ARC music to cinema fan in Japan and I’m so excited about it!

If you are in Japan please come down to Yokohama. It’s a only 1 hour away by train from Tokyo.

Hope see you there
Masa

A gig at Shichoshitsu 2

Thanks very much for the people who supported me at Shichoshitsu 2 on 10th November.

I really enjoyed playing and appreciated your attentiveness. The sound on stage was fantastic. I definitely recommend you go to Shichoshitsu 2 if you are in Yokohama. It’s a lovely little music cafe.

I also made some new friends. This is another thing that made last night memorable. Oh, and not to forget the sweet potato curry I ate at Shichoshitsu 2 after the show. It was absolutely gorgeous.

Hope see you at another gig.

Masa Solo Acoustic Live in Yokohama Japan

It’s been 2 months since I came back to Japan. My mum’s recovery is amazing. She is nearly fully functional. She can do most of the house work like she used to do.
My dad is mentally more stabilised lately so I have a little more time for myself. The other day I walked around my town Yokohama and went to Koganecho district. It’s an area that used to be a red light district.
Now it’s all been cleaned up and artists moved in to create their studios. There are many small galleries and you can experience up-and-coming artists work.
I found a cafe called Shichoshitsu 2 where you can see live music regularly in the evening. So I dropped a O-ARC cd and got the gig on the same day. How lucky I am!!. I really wish Neil is with me but I have to do the solo this time.

If you are in Japan or travel to Japan around that time please pop in.

Hope see you there!
