I sketch at pretty much every show I’m at and this one was perfect for it. Great view and they were constantly striking poses. Such energy. The playing was fantastic. Glad my friend introduced me to their music.
Man, what are they feeding their kids over there? Here in the US, great musicians are the exception. In Japan, it seems as though it is expected. Sure, there are some like Asterism, that are a cut above, but as a whole, Japan has a lot of awesome musicians! What's funny, is when I was a teenager, I swore I could play the hell out of a guitar. In my little corner of the world, I was king, but damn, these youngsters are ridiculous!! Steve Vai should ask these guys to open for him. Please give them some exposure. They deserve it. Everyone, go buy their CD now!
No major Western record company currently has a contract with them to sell their music in the Western or global market. So even if we want CDs, we can't buy them in US, and they aren't even distributed in the first place. All you can buy now is imports of products produced in Japan by Japanese companies for the Japanese domestic market. First and foremost, nothing will begin unless Western record companies sign a formal sales contract with ASTERISM.
@@brianchar-bow3273That's true of physical CDs. I got the Aside EP in digital form from Amazon, so that's an option (at least here in the UK). For Guernica+a etc, I agree, it seems to be just CDJapan or similar - still supports the band of course.

So glad they came back to the U.S. I love this band so much, and Haruka is the most gifted guitarist on the planet.

Nice to meet you there, Cliff!
That was a great show to be at. Thanks for the video!
