Nihon Kizuna in association with Tempo Clash, The CAMP London and Be-Wave Shinjuku present ‘Nihon Kizuna – One Year Later’ fundraisers on March 11, 2012 in London and Tokyo.
Following the success of the Nihon Kizuna compilation in raising money and awareness for the victims of Japan’s Great Tohoku earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011, the organisers behind Nihon Kizuna have teamed up with Tempo Clash and The CAMP for a London fundraiser one year on that features nearly all of the UK artists that appeared on the compilation. On the same day Nihon Kizuna will be holding a fundraiser in Tokyo featuring 8 of the Japanese and Japan-based artists that featured on the compilation, this will be taking place at Be-Wave in Shinjuku.
Together these two events will feature a near continuous 15 hours of live music from artists involved in the compilation across two continents.
In London the day long event – 3pm till midnight – on March 11, 2012 will take place at CAMP’s upstairs venue where 14 of the artists featured on the compilation will play host to a day of commemoration but also good spirits and celebration of all that has been achieved and the hope that drives many of the people still working to rebuild their lives in the regions affected by the disaster.
Artists appearing on the day in London include: Om Unit, Danny Drive Thru, Paul White, Illum Sphere, Nightwave, Ido Tavori, Paper Tiger, Kidkanevil, Elliot Yorke, Throwing Snow, Blue Daisy, Kelpe, Mr. Beatnick, and Sert One. Alongside these will be projections from Swedish journalist and author Elin Lindqvist taken from her book ‘Fukushima Colours – Eight voices about the catastrophe in Japan’ which will be released on the day. The book – and projections on the day – highlight the hope which permeates the lives of those that were caught in this tragedy. Additional visuals will also be supplied by The SRK. All artists are waving their fees to appear on the day.
Entrance on the day will be £5 (or more for those that wish). There will also be merchandise from many of the artists and labels involved in the original compilation on sale to raise additional money. All money raised on the day will go to the Japanese Red Cross for relief and rebuilding efforts in the affected areas.
In Tokyo the event will take place at Be-Wave in Shinjuku from 5pm till 11pm local time. Door entry is free however donations are appreciated.
Artists appearing on the day in Tokyo include: DJ Deville (Sensless Records), HIMURO YOSHITERU, YOSI HORIKAWA, BD1982 (Diskotopia, Seclusiasis), A Taut Line (Diskotopia), AUDACE, RAID SYSTEM ft BROKEN HAZE, XLII, DJ KEN ONE and Black Sebbath with visuals by Takanori Arai.
