Sherbets doesn't have the "sexy lady bassist". She's in Asai Kenichi's solo-career band, which is comprised of entirely different people than Sherbets. I don't think of the keyboardist/backupguitarist lady in Sherbets as anyone extraordinary (visually or audibly), but she does her job. Asai Kenichi alone, is 70% of that band's overall talent, with the bassist claiming 15%, the drummer claiming 10%, and the woman claiming 5%. She's had some other career on the side where she writes her own music, and I don't know what any of that sounds like, but in the context of Sherbets, she doesn't do anything on keyboard that you couldn't do. To give credit where it's due, perhaps Asai Kenichi holds her further back than Shiina Ringo held back HZM.

That makes me sad. I like that girl. SR should totally use her!

That's right. Tabasa should replace Kameda in Phase 3. Tabasa on bass and Tabuchi Hisako on guitar. It'd be fantastic.
I'm a bit disappointed now. When JR mentioned her, I thought Scarlet was performing...

It would give him more time to produce for everyone and their nextdoor neighbor in the whole jpop scene.
Plus it would be nice for a change if fans were busy talking about how hawt Tabasa is in this universe, instead of how gay Kameda is, in some other universe.

http://rsr.wess.co.jp/2008/en/tickets/index.html It is in the suburbs of Sapporo. If I go, which is still a big if, I would stay in Sapporo, but it does look like the camping is a really good deal, and probably a lot of fun. For some people, not for me. Lawsons, e+, and Ticket Pia seem to have tickets available now. You should really consider having a Japanese friend register you on one of these sites, or at least help you get tickets. Or do what I have done, and walk into Lawsons and ask the counter people for help. Generally, they are happy to do it. I went to Sapporo for the first time this year, Yuki Matsuri. The snow festival was awesome, but Sapporo itself is a really cool town. If I go I will try to go for a day or two on either side to check out Sapporo some more. Some of these don't look half bad. http://www.jtb.co.jp/ripple/rsr2008/ Last edited by natsume : 2008.04.16 at 12:26 AM. |

Thanks Natsume! Do you know any cheap places to stay in Sapporo? I'm not going to have a lot of money to spend on this. Also, how do you get from Sapporo to the actual festival?
And what is that site you linked? I can't read japanese well enough to make any sense of it. |

I'm starting to see a lot of anticipated buildup around her "solo" show, and I've seen this happen before: yeah, she's gonna come back to the rock roots, she's gonna outdo KSK, etcetc, and in the end, she really doesn't deliver.
Which for me is fine, because I always keep my expectations low, and I always expect the unexpected with her, but I honestly don't think she will fullfill the expectations that seem to flourish around here. she doesn't even have as much fans as she used to. It'll be a more low-key affair, if you ask me. The fact that it's called a "ROCK" festival means nothing, because the Japanese idea of "rock" can include all sorts of deviations. Even Rock In Rio, one of the biggest music festivals in Europe, has artists like Alicia Keys or Josh Stone playing?!? So beware... ...If you're gonna spend hundreds of dollars to see her, I would advise to not hope for too much, or else the regret will be tenfold.

yeah, I agree. Everyone always gets hyped up about these announcements, imagining it's going to be what they want to hear despite the fact that none of the announcements so far have indicated anything in one direction or another, and then when it's not there's this almost palpable sense of despair and negativity pervading the forum, and everyone starts snapping at each other. It's a vicious cycle...

Haha, yeah, but I think it's understandable... We all want Shiina to release new stuff not linked to TJ... Of course, this performance means just nothing... She's only performing due to her 10th anniversary...
