Words of Wisdom on the Boardwalk

Shawn Despres — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:31:07 +0000

I walked along the boardwalk from White Stage to Green Stage a few times during the weekend and also took the shortcut through the forest to head from White Stage to Field of Heaven and Orange Court. There were lots of things scrawled along both paths, but this one plank stood out the most. I think few Fujirockers would dispute its sentiment.

Koichi Hanafusa DJ Set (No. 2)

Shawn Despres — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:30:31 +0000

Fujirockers.org / Fujirock Express head honcho Koichi Hanafusa did his second DJ stint of the weekend on Sunday night at the small Jim Vinyl Nasium tent that’s by the Queen Sheba booth in the World Restaurant area. During his Friday night session, Hanafusa spun a lot of old enka 45s. Before Sunday’s set he said he wanted to play music that would make people dance. True to his word, he had a dozen or so folks kicking up their feet in the mud to the mix of classic Japanese rock, reggae, and jazz pop that he played. With Hanafusa singing along behind the decks to selections from the likes of Yujiro Ishihara and Mari Watanabe, the only complaint anyone likely had was that his 30 minute set on Sunday night went by far too quickly!

MURASAKI BABYDOLL with JVC FORCE TYO

sakaue — Sun, 28 Jul 2013 19:00:36 +0000

Murasaki Babydoll are a well traveled burlesque group that have wowed audiences with their pasties and their spanking performances since 2003. The group includes a half-dozen women and sometimes an occasional male member who is the object of the women’s affections. Typically, this is just the type of performance that is perfect for Sunday evening at 3AM, when a little arousal is the best way to say good bye to this year’s festival.

Tonight, they are full of energy and pom-poms, dancing on the Crystal Palace’s tiny stage and bouncy wooden floor. It’s a tease, a temptation, a vision, or are we just all imagining all of the beautiful women dancing and grinding. With the sounds of JVC Force Tyo on the turntables, it was an incedible way to pass the last few hours of this year’s festival.
