in defiance of the fatwa
after paying our respects to ACALA, aka Fudō Myōō, the WRATHFUL Buddha we headed up the historical shopping street and I heard some drums and remarked to my travel companion 'that sounds raucous' and I was amazed that the punk rock Taiko was performed by a kawaii IDOL...
which was this special performance on the Saturday evening by a crew from a small village ( pop 520 ) where only residents are allowed to play the rhythm
御陣乗太鼓保存会 ( Gojinjo Taiko Preservation Society )
it fucking rocked, I turned to some toothless old Japanese guy and tried out my porno learnt lingo: "sugoi" and he started chundering on until my travel companion intervened with "HIS NIHONGO SHIT" but he still persisted and told us about the "special performance' that we already knew about
I've been trying to put this in order, but I was overwhelmed by the cosmic wave that crashed over me last weekend and all sense of chronology has gone out the window
one of the highlights for me was the boy band taiko outfit outside the JR train station on Sunday
I took some pics
but...
Dub Kazman - Rise up in Dub
Hibushibire - Ayahuasca Witch Abduction
realname:
秘部痺れ
literally according to google translate: "Numbness in private parts"
or in Osaka slang: "Freak Out ORGASM!"
plus
mysterious apparitions on the streets
unfortunately when I see this thread title all I can think of is that Tumblr page, "Girls who look like Skrillex"
there's reason for that though...an encounter in a goth shop last week where I had to splash out money on some clothes for my travel companion
