The Newwave-rock band and ZARIGANI$ of two pieces release CD of nationwide circulation for the first time.
Shockingly, it is pop music.
Whenever listening many times, it is not away from the ear.
Hereafter, it is the enjoyment that their sounds come round the world. - Rinky Dink Studio

Because drummer Seixo is off on maternity leave and the band is between bassists, Asuja and Mikko's rhythm section for the North American tour will comprise of Eri and Mizuki from lo-fi noise duo Zarigani$. And of course, their British friends will be with them all the way.

The Wedding Present on this Spring tour – Washington D.C.’s Jet Age or Tokyo’s Pinky Piglets – it was never clear which was going to be at the Toronto show, which was right at the changeover point of the routing. As it turned out we were getting both but even so, there was some further confusion as Pinky Piglets no longer existed having opted to change their name to the more cryptic Toquiwa and even then, they weren’t the band that took the stage first – that was the drum and bass duo called Zarigani $, who were also Toquiwa’s rhythm section and completely unbilled; I wouldn’t have even known what they were called had it not been for the helpful sign hanging off a keyboard stand. Got all that? No? That’s okay. They played some cartoon version of punk-prog for about 15 minutes – far too short a set to try and bridge the cultural divide and understand it – and then brought out two more members and transformed, Voltron-style, into Toquiwa.

And though no less bizarre to behold, they were at least somewhat easier to get a handle on. The addition of a guitarist and lead singer solidified a kind of punk/rockabilliy aesthetic, though still totally cartoon-like. The quartet looked like they were plucked straight off the playground of the Tokyo chapter of The School Of Rock, though the ease with which singer Asuja pounded back a beer adorably solicited from the audience was a hint that they were a bit older than they looked. In any case, it was energetic, ridiculous, gobs of fun and the band thanked The Wedding Present for taking them out on tour by covering “Kennedy” in their own unique manner.

Avant de partir, on avait demandé conseil à des amis, à des amis d’amis, on avait surfé sur des sites incompréhensibles, visité nombre de MySpace, vu nombre de groupes de JPop avec leurs chanteurs gominés.
Et puis on avait vu ce duo, au nom improbable, Zarigani $, avec leur look excentrique et leur formule inédite : une batterie et une basse branchée sur trois amplis. Excitant, et quasi impossible en concert à emporter… Un premier contact est pris, à coups de traduction automatique, et avec l’aide d’un ami expatrié. Et une formule est trouvée.
Sous des trombes d’eaux, nous prenons un métro jusqu’à une lointaine banlieue, à minuit. Elles nous attendent, avec des robes assorties sous leur parapluies, et nous marchons avec elles jusqu’à Cloud Nine, leur studio de répétition. Le proprio les a autorisées à sortir leur barda dans le hall, c’est tout ce que nous avons, tout ce que nous pourrons faire.
Le studio est au troisième étage et, comme un peu partout au Japon, l’ascenseur ouvre directement sur la pièce. Oh merveille. Une reproduction fidèle et kitchissime d’un diner américain.


Réal : Colin Solal CardoTourné à Tokyo
François nous regarde un brin paniqué. Comment prendre le son, avec son matos et tant d’amplis, tant de bruit à venir. « On va la faire à la sauvage, à la Take Away… » se contente-t-il de dire, avant d’installer des micros un peu partout, alors que les filles reviennent avec des lunettes fantasques, et de l’énergie à revendre. Il est pas loin d’une heure du matin, nous sommes épuisés, elles vont nous réveiller.
Deux choses furent confirmées ce soir là : un, on peut vite se sentir perdu au Japon, dans l’impossibilité de communiquer quoi que ce soit, quand les quatre personnes en face de vous ne parlent pas un mot d’anglais et se servent de la fonction ‘traduction’ de leur téléphone pour vous faire comprendre quelque chose. Deux, la musique n’a que faire de ces considérations. Quand la basse des Zarigani a commencé à vrombir, quand elles ont lancé leur punk de filles ludique, pas besoin de savoir quelle langues elles parlaient. Il suffisait de secouer la tête. Elles nous donnèrent l’énergie dont nous avions besoin ce soir là. Dans l’heure de taxi qui suivit, nous nous endormirons, la caméra allumée qui filme la pluie. - La Blogo The Que

The ennui + which two women induce -- hard roaring sound !! ZARIGANI$

zarigani$ (crayfish dollar) from which a SXSW performance will be the 2nd times is 2 piece band formed in 2004, and has expanded the width of activity not only Japan but overseas.
For a band member, although it is simple composition of the base vocal Eri and Drum Mizuki, a powerful and cute explosion and a live performance are the features.
In an overseas band, a match is applied to the world in new ennui and a hard original sound. - Rittor Music
