Besides them, artists from various fields made performances. DMBQ’s hot and driving live, Audio Visual by Kentaro Hamasato and Jiro Ohashi from Nipponia Electronica, which has a close relationship with SHIFT, the Waf’s explosive sound roaring music, Altz’s live for the first time in Tokyo. This event was so full of talent for a one night gig.

This art book “THE ALBUM” has “character” as an antithesis to the existing music media. It represents the double sides of vision for sound and sound for vision, which are difficult to tell with words. This form, book, which has a different nature of movement of turning over pages from DVD, permits interactive communications between the readers’ and music-vision.

Therefore there isn’t any restraint of the nature of the story and ideas that are behind the music, which the existing music media has. “THE ALBUM” presents the viewer with another pleasure of touching music and vision freely. I felt more eagerness with this than a mere art book with BGM. Finally, in spite of a rainy weekday, the artists who sympathize with this attempt and many people made this event hot.
