Tokyo Jihen - 2010.11.06 - EMI ROCKS

Considering there's a new EMI ROCKS festival announced for February 19, 2012, here's what we have of the first one, where Tokyo Jihen performed.

BS Fuji broadcasted a 2 hour program covering the festival, but only included 2 or 3 performances for each artist, which left us with "OSCA", "FOUL" and "Killer Tune". However, it doesn't seem the performances were much different from the ones found in the Ultra C Tour earlier that year (altough Ringo sounds a bit drunk which is cool), so we're probably not missing out much. Except for the fact that they performed two songs from "Daihakken", which we haven't heard live anywhere yet: "Tengoku he Yokouso" and "Dopamint!". Hopefully one day I'll get the complete setlist.

EMI ROCKS was a one day festival at Saitama Super Arena to celebrate EMI's 50th anniversary, with around 10 of their biggest rock bands performing, including Acidman, Tomoyasu Hotei, Miyavi, 9mm Parabellum Bullet, Base Ball Bear and others. But apparently the fun doesn't stop there, because there's another EMI ROCKS planned and we still don't know if Tokyo Jihen will make an appearance, but I say it's very likely.

Tokyo Jihen - 2004.07.30 - FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL '04

Got this video this morning so decided to upload. It's the FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL '04 show that was broadcasted on television. Unfortunately it's only 3 songs out of the complete 15, but it doesn't seem the whole recording is easy to find, so here's the upload. Also found the video uploaded to YouTube by someone else, so you can watch it there instead of downloading.

Video was removed from YouTube.

FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL '04 was the 3rd of 4 summer festivals Tokyo Jihen performed in, during 2004. One of the other 4 was Meet the World Beat, which I already uploaded, and as you can see the performances don't sound that different. The only really noticeable difference are the setlists.

01 - 丸の内サディスティック (Marunouchi Sadistic)

02 - 迷彩 (Meisai)

03 - その淑女ふしだらにつき (Sono Onna Fushidara ni Tsuki)

04 - 御祭騒ぎ (Omatsuri Sawagi)

05 - 林檎の唄 (Ringo no Uta)

06 - 遭難 (Sounan)

07 - 群青日和 (Gunjou Biyori)

08 - ダイナマイト (Dynamite)

09 - 事変音頭 (Jihen Ondo)

10 - 歌舞伎町の女王 (Kabukichou no Joou)

11 - サービス (Service)

12 - 幸福論 (Koufukuron)

13 - la salle de bain

14 - 茎～STEM～ (Kuki)

15 - 駅前 (Ekimae)

UPDATE: Felipe, known in the interwebs as Yahiko, gave me the complete bootleg for this show, so here it is. We decided to keep the TV rips from the 3 songs that were broadcast: "Dynamite", "Koufukuron" and "la salle de bain", so you'll notice a sudden change in quality. Regardless, this is totally worth it.

Tokyo Jihen - 2004.07.25 - Meet the World Beat 04

Haven't put Tokyo Jihen stuff up in a while, so here is something nice. Meet the World Beat, like Sweet Love Shower, is one of the many usual summer music festivals in Japan. In 2004, soon after the formation of the band, Tokyo Jihen performed in the the grass fields of the Expo '70 Commemorative Park, near Osaka. In fact, they participated in 4 different festivals that summer, this one being the smallest in terms of number of songs.
Needless to say, it's a pretty nice concert and the setlist has something for everyone's taste. I really like the "Tsumiki Asobi" arrangement, by the way.

Shiina Ringo - 1999.09.05 - Sweet Love Shower '99

Here is another concert from 1999, Sweet Love Shower '99, one month before the release of the yet-to-be super popular "Honnou". Actually, it was in this concert that Ringo first performed that song, so it's amusing to see that the audience doesn't really react to the opening lines, contrary to want happens currently (see Ringo EXPO 08). But I really like every performance in this concert. Gyakutai Glycogen is the backing band and you shouldn't miss Kameda with his amazing mohawk, playing the bass.
About the files, the audio is pretty decent quality, since we're talking about a Space Shower TV broadcast and not some audience recording. For the MP3s I picked a different source than the video, and they should present no kind of problem. As for the video, I had actually different sources for each performances, so I did my best to merge them all into one single contiguous video. You may notice changes in video quality but I think I can guarantee that nothing is missing.

PS - Just wanted to point out that she doesn't perform "Kabukichou no Joou" completely, but only the opening lines.

Tokyo Jihen - 2007.08.18 - J-WAVE LIVE 2000+7

This is actually kind of hard to label, because it's a Ken Hirai concert in the J-WAVE LIVE 2000+7 set of concerts and Shiina Ringo sings "Sha La La" with him, to be joined later by Ukigumo and Izawa for "Killer Tune".
Yet, since this occured during the Variety promotion, I'm putting it under Tokyo Jihen.

Concert Date: 2007.08.18
TV Broadcast: 2007.10.13
01 - シャ・ラ・ラ (Sha La La / Southern All Stars cover)
02 - キラーチューン (Killer Tune)
