Why not check out these artists who are working hard in foreign countries.    

KOM_I held her first one-man live in foreign country cities (Taipei and Taichu) on the 13^th and the 14^th of October.

She was the only Japanese artist participating the popular event “Legacy Presents 2017 Toshinyosei” and more than 1,000 persons gathered at the venues in Taipei and Taichu.

 

The venue in Taipei was a preppy spot “Kazan 1914 Bunsoenku” which used to be a vacant lot inside an alcohol factory when Japan occupied Taiwan. It is a mysterious, but nice spot where trees grow skyward out of the building stuctures. Whether in Japan or in a foreign country, Suyobi no Capmanella always creates her own stage from scratch based on the inspiration she receives from the venue.

The opening song of the live was “Gogh” and the song started after a light was radiated from the darkness. The light flickered in the darkness and KOM_I’s voice resonated in the venue mysteriously. Then, the curtain opened after the intro of “Chosei” started and the venue was filled with excitement when KOM_I appeared on stage. The audience reacted to the energy from KOM_I who was running around the stage actively.

After that, the stage was covered with a curtain and a mysterious rendition showing the silhouette of KOM_I with colorful clothes was shown.

 

The audience took in the energy from KOM_I who was running around the venue while performing “Wright Brothers.” She performed “Momotaro” lastly and was put inside a water ball. She dived into the audience seats and the live ended with excitement. She also said goodbye to the audience in the local language.

She performed “Ikkyusan,” “Amenouzume” and “Marco Polo” after receiving an encore. The door at the side of the stage opened slightly and she left from the stage. The audience remained silent for a while but were filled excitement. The live ended while the audience was craving for KOM_I to appear again on stage.

 

“I want to come here again next year” says KOM_I. Can’t wait to see her next live in Taiwan.

The word of WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA is spreading as KOM_I prepares to take the music of WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA around the world. Don't take your eyes off WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA even for a second.

 

WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA put on a performance at Reborn-Art Festival 2017 on August 31st which was streamed live. The festival is currently being held at Ishinomaki in Miyagi Prefecture.

The Reborn-Art Festival has been ongoing since July 22nd and is taking place in the Oshika Peninsula in the Ishinomaki city center. An arts, food and music festival, this year the event will run until September 10th and is a program based around hearing music being played somewhere each day across 51 days. As part of this program, WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA live streamed a show at Oginohama in the heart of the Oshika Peninsula.

 

The performance opened in a dark and mystical forest located at a local port in Oginohama where we see colourful oyster shells being used as buoys

KOM_I appeared from the smoke wearing red and orange balloons, beginning the artsy performance with the song "Gogh." Basked in rays of light, her orange coloured hair and mollusc-like movements went hand-in-hand, making her look like some kind of fairy emerging from the forest. The fairy came from the woods and singing her song looked as if she was waiting to see how the land lies.

The peculiar outfit designed from life-like balloons was created by Toshio Takeda who has worked with balloon unit Daisy Balloon which is made up of balloon artist Rie Hosokai and graphic designer and art director Takashi Kawada, whose work is also on display at Reborn-Art Festival 2017.

 

The next song performed was a remix of WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA's most well-known song "Momotaro," a version which has been featured on their set-list at recent festivals.

 

KOM_I comes into contact with the buoys, rides a small boat that has washed ashore, frolics around a white deer, a piece of art titled "White Deer(Oshika)" by Kōhei Nawa, all while moving towards the centre of the beach.

During the final song, "Marco Polo," KOM_I walks steadily towards the pitch black coast of the waters, parallel with the intro, while crossing with the shining light in the background as she plays with the waves. She is left at the shoreline at the end of the video and looks across the water towards us, presenting to us a slightly melancholic scene

 

Despite the announcement of this show being on the same day as it was performed, it brought in around 30,000 viewers across KOM_I's Instagram, WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA's official Twitter account, and on Reborn-Art Fes's official Instagram page.。

 

The whole stream is available to watch on WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA's official YouTube channel, so be sure to check it out below.
