ASA-CHANG & Junrei to Hold Tokyo Homecoming Concert

Experimental percussion group ASA-CHANG & Junrei will perform a special homecoming concert on May 28 at Tokyo venue Haretara Sora ni Mame Maite.

The one-man show marks the group's return to Japan following their world tour. Led by former Chanels drummer ASA-CHANG (Asako Ohara), the group has built a devoted international following for their unique blend of traditional Japanese percussion with electronic elements and unconventional vocal techniques.

ASA-CHANG & Junrei first gained attention in the early 2000s with their distinctive sound that incorporates tabla drums, found sounds, and ASA-CHANG's characteristic vocal loops. The word "junrei" means pilgrimage in Japanese, reflecting the spiritual journey the music represents.

The Tokyo performance will take place at Haretara Sora ni Mame Maite, a small venue known for hosting experimental and indie acts. The intimate setting should provide the perfect backdrop for the group's immersive, meditative performances that have captivated audiences worldwide.

For fans who missed their international dates, this Tokyo show offers a rare opportunity to experience ASA-CHANG & Junrei's hypnotic live performance in their home country. The group's ability to create transcendent musical experiences through minimal instrumentation and maximum creativity has made them one of Japan's most respected experimental acts.

Ticket information and additional details about the May 28 concert are expected to be announced soon.
