Last month, I had the opportunity to attend this amazing live performance that mixed classical Japanese dance and music, with sword dancing and rock music! Produced by D･I･O ENTERTAINMENT LLC, the show featured the rock band KAO=S, helmed by Shuji Yamagiri and Kaori Kawabuchi, the mock sword fighting squad, IDEAL, and many others!
Kaori Kawabuchi is the motion capture actor for Zero (Drakengard 3), cinematic sequences for 2B and A2 (NieR:Automata), as well as the voices of Jackass and Simone from the same title. She has countless notable credits, so definitely check out her other work!
Fun thing to note is that the Film Score Philharmonic Orchestra official site is still sporting a photo from our John Willams concert in 2018. You can see me in the chorus, off to the left. xD
This concert marks nearly 2 years since the last PhilFil concert that I participated in the chorus at the same venue as this concert: MUZA Kawasaki Symphony Hall. We were JUST BARELY able to perform to a smaller sized audience due to the first major wave of COVID in early 2020.
I’m very excited to get the chance to go and not only support Emi but my other friends in the orchestra as well! (hopefully work doesn’t get scheduled on that Saturday…)
And just for fun, here are a couple images from our concert back in 2020!
