MUSIC NIGHT SPOT: vol.1 SOUND MUSEUM VISION – Kohei Norita: “Proud to Represent Japan With Tokyo’s Nightlife Culture”

25.December.2017 | FEATURES / MUSIC

 

 

――I want to ask about your impressions of Tokyo’s club scene as a whole.

 

When you compare people in their early and mid-20s who are into music with those in the past, I don’t think there are that many now. On the other hand, teenagers are much more passionate about music. That’s why there’s a lot of customers everywhere when it comes to the line-up. The kids of today’s club scene aren’t too worried about the line-up, it’s more like they are going to a lively place. Not in the same vein as hanami. But I do feel that a little. Although I think clubs have their merit with people coming by after going to an izakaya, I do want people to really listen to the music. It’s a tricky feeling (laughs).

 

――There are clubs to hook up at and clubs to listen to music, but I get the feeling that VISION gets the best of both worlds due to its sheer size.

 

We do.

――If it’s a place that has a lot of promiscuous behaviour then it can be difficult for one class of people to go, and vice-versa.

 

And we cater to that balance. We hold parties for people unaccustomed to clubs so it’s easy for them to come, and we hold parties where we’re particular about the music. We make sure we’re not being biased.

 

――Please tell us of any memorable parties to date.

 

There’s been several, but I’d say our first-year countdown party. We had Derrick May and Jeff Mills perform, two artists involved in creating the techno scene in Detroit. Having those two perform at such a time in Japan was big news. They played on both the main and sub floors. It was so full-on and crazy that I have no recollection of it. The countdown had finished, and we were already into the New Year before I even realized it (laughs). That’s just one of the parties where we delivered an unbelievable impact.

 

――On the other hand, your regular parties have an at-home vibe, such as “WARP!!!” spearheaded by Yasutaka Nakata.

 

Yes. We originally held a party on called “trick or treat” back at Daikanyama AIR on Mondays. From there we created other events such as “RED by t.o.t” and “BLACK by t.o.t,” and then when VISION opened we gave life to “WARP!!!” No matter where you search in Japan you won’t find another event with someone like Yasutaka Nakata playing regularly on weekdays. I think the average age of our guests is a little higher than other places on weekends, but on Mondays lots of extremely young people come to play. I think that’s very typical of Shibuya. Despite being a Monday we have enough people for a rouse.

 

――Are there any recent performances you enjoyed?

 

If we’re talking DJs, then okadada and Licaxxx. I think those two stand out among DJs. No matter what genre okadada goes for he always hits a strike. As a director in charge of making the parties, I imagine in my head that how I want them to hear the artist play, but that would be rude to say to them, wouldn’t it? okadada understands without needing to say anything and he does his thing. There’s not many people out there who can still have so many people left in the crowd at 4:30am. Licaxxx is female has such a strong groove she lets out with techno and four-on-the-floor that she doesn’t even lose to guys. I’ve never met a female DJ that has done so well. She’s really up and in there with the scene. Both of them really love music and listen to DJs.

 

――Could you kindly tell me once more your reason for working here?

 

Simply put, it’s because I really like this kind of place. Music might be the biggest element to clubs, but the fashion, the art, and above all interacting with people – I believe all of these things are indispensable. I always liked being in that kind of place a so I thought it would be even more fun to try creating my own parties. I’m a non-conformist so I think a place like this suits me, where I can do and be as I please whether it’s my personality, or hair-style, without needing to explain myself.

 

――Finally, there are a lot of overseas visitors and local tourists who are unsure about how to have fun in Tokyo at night. Please leave a message for anyone who might be interested in going to VISION.

 

We have set up this venue in this location in Shibuya in Tokyo. In other words, we’re in a location that is representing Japan, and we’re proud to be. So, we won’t lose when it comes to our event content and quality. Whether you’re living in Tokyo, living in the area or coming from overseas, if you visit Shibuya and can drop by VISION to experience what we’re all about, I hope our message gets across to you. I have no doubt it will if you come! Just let me say that (laughs).

 “Yellow CITY” is a party that began this year that centers on young artists from ASIA. I believe we must also pick up other cultures in Asia. The main act will be South Korean rapper GIRIBOY. BIM from THE OTOGIBANASHI’S and JOMMY will be hitting the DJ decks. This year’s event focuses on South Korean artists, but we want to invite artists from China and Taiwan in the future.

  • Night Party at Harajuku’s Conveyor-Belt Dessert Cafe Ron Ron for 20 Year Olds Only

    03.August.2019 | FASHION / FOOD

    MAISON ABLE Cafe Ron Ron is a popular conveyor-belt dessert cafe in Harajuku. We visited the cafe last year when it had just dropped, so be sure to check out our cover story if you want more information.

     

    The cafe has just announced a night party that is exclusive to those in their 20’s. Titled “Cafe Ron Ron 20ty’s Night Party -PINK FRIDAY- supported by MAISON ABLE,” the event began yesterday and will run every night up to September 27.

    Customers can enjoy all-you-can-eat unlimited snacks for just ¥500 with no time restrictions. For an additional fee, you can also pick from the food menu which features 5 dishes and order from the drinks menu which includes alcohol.

    Everything on the food and drinks menu is ¥500 too, making it a delicious bargain!

    Desserts are served at varying time slots from 19:00. Depending on what time you arrive or decide to start eating the menu will change which is all part of the fun!

    The cafe has also teamed up with the fashion rental shop airCloset next door so customers can enjoy dining at Cafe Ron Ron while wearing a yukata.

    You can even continue wearing the kimono after you’ve eaten so you can stroll the streets of Harajuku, go to nearby festivals and more for an exciting day out in Japan’s youth and culture hub. The yukata can be rented by people of all ages – full details on the websites below.

  • Shinagawa Prince Hotel’s NINE BAR DJ Music Receives New Theme Everyday

    29.May.2019 | SPOT

    DINING & BAR TABLE 9 TOKYO is a fabulous dining and bar venue located on the top floor of Shinagawa Prince Hotel. The establishment is known for its “DJ TIME” where a DJ plays music, and it has just been announced that the experience is set to be revamped on May 29 where the theme will change each day.

     

    Ever since its grand opening, the bars of TABLE 9 TOKYO have been leaders of today’s Tokyo with its night scene as its opening hours roll out until 4:00am. It is home to 3 different bars, NINE BAR being one of them, and each enjoys a huge attendance rate including many non-Japanese guests.

    The bar and lounge is a place for adults to sit down, enjoy a drink and listen to music. The idea to have a theme change each day is a way for the bar to expand its services by having more options to choose from when it comes to the music.

    The first week will begin with jazzy music, and there will be disco music on Wednesday and Thursday for which a new standing area has been set up in front of the DJ booth. On Friday night guests can enjoy getting down to some energetic dance music while on the weekends the playlist will span a wide variety of genres.

  • Luxurious Warming-Up Bar “MEZZO” to Open in Roppongi!

    24.July.2017 | SPOT

    A new luxury lounge and bar managed by RUBY will be opening in Roppongi on July 29th.

     

    main copy

     

    “MEZZO” was created with the intention of people going there to relax after dinner. It is also a place to head to before going out again to play – what they call a “warming up bar”. It’s easily accessed and can be found just 1-minutes’ walk from Roppongi Station crossing.

     

    The first floor is the standing bar, a casual environment with wooden and golden décor. The second floor is home to a luxury lounge with marble and black furnishing which can house up to 100 people.

     

     “MEZZO” also has a front terrace for people who prefer to chill outdoors at nighttime which can be used as a waiting area before you head on your night out. You can make VIP table reservations for the surrounding nightclubs in the area, book limousines, and get information about priority entries.

     

     

    MEZZO is the kind of place you would only expect to see in Roppongi, where you can enjoy an international atmosphere, and receive the kind of hospitality that guests deserve.

     

     

    Indulge in a variety of fresh fruit sours

     

    sub3 copy

     

    just looking at them will quench your thirst!

    MEZZO stocks a delicious fruit showcase that can be seen from the main street of Roppongi. Even just looking at the photogenic display will leave you feeling refreshed.

     

    The sours sold at MEZZO use tropical fruits. Part of the menu changes with the season, which offers drinks that you can’t get anywhere else.

     

     

    The 1F bar’s concept is “Woody & Gold

    sub1 copy

     

    The first floor is decorated in wood and gold with spacious terrace seats and a standing style counter. The ceiling has LED lights fitted that change illuminations depending on the time. The interior also has the aforementioned refreshing showcase with all kinds of fruits lined up, all of which are mostly used to create luxurious sours (¥700). The bar also offers beers, wines, and cocktails.

     

     

    The 2F boasts a secret VIP lounge

    sub2 copy

     

    Different from the first floor, the second floor’s décor is marble and black, and has a top rank secret VIP lounge called “NO ENTRY”. This floor has sofa seats as well as luxury private rooms. When you enter one of the rooms at your reserved time you will enter a PIN number which will open the door.

    The menu has a list of champagnes such as Dom Perignon and great food that uses carefully selected ingredients. (2F will open at the start of August).

  • Enjoy a Phantasmagorical Night at Enoshima Aquarium for “Night Wonder Aquarium 2017”

    20.July.2017 | SPOT

    “Enosui”, or the “Enoshima Aquarium”, has been hosting a special evening event every year since 2014. “Night Wonder Aquarium” has made its return this year too and began on July 15th.

    新江ノ島水族館で「ナイトワンダーアクアリウム2017~満天の星降る水族館~」がスタート!

    Waiting for visitors in the evening at the Enoshima Aquarium is an unbelievable coming together of fish and technology, where stars seem to rain from the sky into the water, in which a multitude of fish twinkle as they swim, creating phantasmagorical night-time spectacle. “Enosui” invites visitors to a new world, taking them on a journey through space via dreamlike visuals backed by a beautiful original score that creates a sense that the stars are coming together and interweaving.

    The “Sagami Bay” zone is where visitors meet the ocean and are greeted with brilliant visuals that begin with the light up of one star until the entire sky is dotted white. As you traverse the aquarium you are wrapped in a starry sky, where the littoral tanks feature stars that pop forth with the music, creating a fantastic world. The main visual projected at the Sagami Bay water tank is titled “Umi to iu Na no Uchuu, Uchuu to iu Na no Inochi”, which roughly translates to “An Outer Space Named ‘Ocean’; A Life Named ‘Outer Space’”. It offers a completely new experience, one that you could only expect to see at Enosui. The gorgeous and impacting visuals transition as the music fills the room completely and the twinkling fish swim in the giant water tank. There’s also a jellyfish display where jellyfish bob upwards, skybound towards space through the stars. And don’t forget “Shinkai 2000”, a stimulating experience of imagination powered by lights and objets d’art. There’s no shortage of exciting encounters at Enoshima Aquarium.

     The event is running three times throughout the year. Part 1 is July 15th to September 30th, Part 2 is October 1st to November 23rd, and Part 3 is November 24th to December 25th. The contents of the event will change and be in line with the changing seasons over the course of the three parts, meaning you’ll want to visit more than once. You can expect one truly romantic night at Enosui’s “Night Wonder Aquarium”, one that illustrates an atmospheric nightfall by the ocean.
