Now the first Japan tour of the Living Room Trio has started and Makigami just uploaded two short clips from the gig at Valentine Drive in Nagoya on April 24.







And tonight, April 25, they have a gig with Hikashu at Sakuraza, Kofu. And here comes a news - it seems that they will jam together.

☆明日４/２５ 甲府桜座で、ヒカシュー＆北欧より来日中のバンド『The Living Color Trio』とのジョイントライブです。 トーマスに会うのも久しぶり。本当に素晴らしいドラマーです。ドラム２台用意しているから、一緒に演奏するシーンもあるかもしれません。楽しみだー！！

Sato: "Tomorrow, April 25, there will be a double-bill gig with Hikashu and the Living Room Trio from Northern Europe at Sakuraza, Kofu. Thomas Strønen is truly a fabulous drummer and I haven't seen him in a while. We have arranged two drum sets so maybe we'll play together. You must be excited!"
