Taking the stage to Redbone’s “Come and Get Your Love”, multi-talented 8-piece Omoideyarou A-Team brought a soulful, funky groove to the afternoon crowd at Field of Heaven.

Cloudy skies sometimes parted to allow beams of sun through as the group blasted out feel-good, horn driven soul numbers to keep the party moving. Having played together for nearly 10 years now, after forming when all attended Tokyo’s Tama Art University, the group seemed tightly knit and their positive-vibe jazzy sound showed through in each members smiling face.

Playing tracks well-known to their Japanese fanbase including “Guda-Guda Party” and “Magic Number”, they had everyone swaying back and forth singling along with la-la-la’s and hey-hey-hey’s throughout.

The groups talented horn section was very impressive complemented vocalist “Magoichi”‘s deep but cheerful crooning very well.

Making their second Fujirock appearance, they seemed to feel right at home on the Field of Heaven stage, soundtracking a cheerful afternoon spent under partly cloudy skies.
