Danball Bat, a new wave band based in Tokyo, invited Makigami Koichi as a guest act at their gig on May 8th, 2010. (As of the band's name, it means "cardboard baseball bat")
After a solo set of voice and theremin, upon the band's request, Makigami performed "Marching Watermelon" with them.
Makigami Koichi with Danball Bat performed "Marching Watermelon" at UFO Club, Koenji, Tokyo.

About Me

- 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.
