Japan’s unparalleled vocalist and multi-track mixmaster Oorutaichi propels audiences into orbit, as his colorful yet experimental pop music brings crowds to their feet. Time Out Tokyo praises Oorutaichi’s live performance as, “A chain of amusement… Amazingly great.” Dubbed “imaginary electronic folklore” by Oorutaichi, his music weaves fanciful language into never-heard-before beats and loops. Titled after Oorutaichi’s latest album, Cosmic Coco, this exhilarating event features a celestial-inspired, multi-media projection installation by Oorutaichi and his creative team, transforming Japan Society’s foyer into a revolving nightclub. Local sensation DJ Aki opens and concludes the night with contemporary Japanese and American rock, pop and hip hop.
