Rockin’ It In Japan - The Sushi Cabaret Club
07/25/2008 @ 12:00 pm
The following is a look at a mostly foreign rock band, the Sushi Cabaret Club, based in Nagoya, Japan.
The members hail from Scotland, England, Australia, and Japan. They talk about their music, what brought them to Japan, what it’s like for bands in Japan, and what it’s like playing for Japanese audiences. They dispel a few myths like how easy it is for Western musicians to make it big in Japan as well. Also, few of their fans talk about their interest in the band’s music.
Here are two videos the band made themselves while they still had their first drummer:
For the charitable samaritans out there please go to:
Sushi Cabaret Club on Current TV
and cast a humble vote in my favor. Remember you are not voting on their music skills or lack thereof but on the video-making itself. I realize most of you already know this but unfortunately the result of my last plea for votes showed me that some seem to link the actions of the performers to the video documentarian as though they had any input on the performance quality.
Some of you may recall my Seijin-no-Hi video from months back. The music was also by the Sushi Cabaret Club:

As for the band, I believe they are unfortunately through in this present incarnation but they still have CDs (5 of them) on sale.

July 27th, 2008 at 2:48 pmThanks a bunch, remora! That’s re-encouraging after my discouraging experience last time. Are you still having problems registering over there? It can be a finicky site.
July 27th, 2008 at 10:16 pmI work out how to do it - don’t sweat it, and when I’m a famous Poet you can come around to Tatty-B and make documentary about me. (and my garden)

July 29th, 2008 at 11:11 amor I can do a documentary on you now and help you towards that fame. BTW if you start getting emails from Current like “so-n-so thinks you might like this” just mark the first as spam and you won’t be troubled again.
