Drive To 2010 is an concert series of New Wave, Techno, Jazz and Free Music acts, which is going to be held on October 15th to 25th at Shinjuku Loft, Tokyo. And Hikashu performed on October 17th.
This event has long history, spanning 30 years. First time it was Drive To 80s, held in 1979. Hikashu appeared on Oct 20th. At that time, they were recording their first album.
Then, there was Drive To 2000, which held in 1999. That time Hikashu was the last act of the last day. Maybe this choice was somewhat related to their debut single, At the End of the 20th Century.
Having performed at Drive To 2010, Hikashu became the only band appearing all the three events.

- Hi. I'm an avid follower of a Japanese rock band, Hikashu. They are formed in 1978 and still going strong. Simply put, they are the greatest band from Japan. Really. They play some pretty good compositions, and collective improvisation of mastery kind. If you like the Mothers of Invention, Henry Cow, John Zorn, Derek Bailey, or any kind of good music plus having a sense of humor, just try them. They are so unique that I cannot describe what the band exactly is, but I try my best. Also, I did all the translations of the lyrics, except where noted. DISCLAIMER: This blog is NOT official and NOT affiliated with Hikashu in any way. The opinion expressed here is solely mine, an advocate of the band, and it doesn't reflect their intention. Take a note for that, and have fun.
