keeps the energy high from start to finish and could really fire up audiences even at rock festivals, don’t you think? By the way, Momoiro Clover Z and Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, with whom they’ll share the stage at Kishidan Banpaku, are their sister groups.
One Night Carnival 2013Kishidan
When it comes to Kishidan, it has to be this song.
It’s famous for the iconic line, “Wanna come to my place?” There’s no doubt you’ll have a great time if everyone dances together to the guitar riff and the chorus choreography.
Besides this song, Kishidan’s live shows are all about having fun together, so they’re a must-see.
And of course, at Kishidan Expo, Kishidan will perform on both days.
Zettē AnarchyShiritsu Ebisu Junior High School
“Zettee Anarchy” is a song with a UK rock vibe from Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku’s 3rd album, Anarchy.
When they first formed, they apparently used the tagline “sloppy dance moves and unstable vocals,” which is hilariously self-aware.
Even so, they’ve cemented their popularity, selling out solo shows and successfully performing at the Budokan.
Kishidan Expo 2016 Performing Artists (11–20)
Tiger & DragonCRAZY KEN BAND
Crazy Ken Band led by Ken Yokoyama.
This song was used as the theme song for a TV drama starring TOKIO’s Nagase, right? It’s a memorable track with vocalist Yokoyama’s distinctive voice and a melody reminiscent of Showa-era kayōkyoku.
It shares a somewhat mischievous vibe with Kishidan, doesn’t it?
Could you quit working in the nightlife/hostess industry?Golden Bomber
Golden Bomber, also known as Kinbaku, is a hugely popular visual kei air band.
This song is their new single, “Would You Please Quit the Nightlife?” The melancholic music video leaves a strong impression.
It’s a catchy track with a hint of loneliness that makes you want to sit down and really listen.
Memories SakeSachiko Kobayashi
Enka singer Sachiko Kobayashi, who always makes headlines at the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen with her extravagant costumes, is making a surprise appearance at Kishidan Banpaku.
Here’s her signature song, Omoide-zake.
Kicking off the first round of announcements with an absolute heavyweight—and an enka singer at that—adds both glamour and surprise, raising expectations for Kishidan Banpaku even more.
kissORIGINAL LOVE
ORIGINAL LOVE, celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut this year, will appear at Kishidan Expo.
The project is now the solo unit of guitarist-vocalist Takao Tajima.
His songs are influenced by punk, soul, and blues, giving them a slightly mature yet passionate feel.
Just imagining this track being performed in a wide open-air venue is exciting.
