The Mad Genius,Kaleb James. He is our bandmaster for tomorrow. Super drummer Takada Shin,my nakayoshi bassist,Cliff Archer,along with vocal/guitarist Gats,singers Robbie Danzie and Suzuki Momoko.This will be a concert with wonderful chemistry. If you plan to be there,be prepared to dance!
Who is the man behind the camera? Can you guess? He is an expert listener of soul/R&B music. He supports all of us in Tokyo who are continuing the pursuit of good music. He is always at our live shows,and is looking at us,but now I am looking at him,looking at us! He is the producer of this concert!
