Kazue Kobata, Tokyo Correspondent, hosts as Tristan Honzinger, Shuichi Chino, and Ryuichi Daijo join forces for the second time in a two hour concert at Tokyo's Plan B. This infinitely complicated gig requires listeners' full attention.

Japan's rocker/free improv musician (since 1970s) Keiji Haino appears on WPS1 for the first time, with an ad-hoc group, Mitochondria Quartet, with 4 young musicians on strings.

Japanese guitarist, musician and engineer Ryuichi Daijo introduces The Shaggs and Starfuckers with an undermined hypothesis that the two groups have an enigmatic commonness... light-hearted but uniquely enjoyable sounds.

Ryuichi Daijo introduces a Chilean folklore guitarist/composer Violeta Parra (1917-1967), who composed and played music derived from her love for folklore. Parra also began weaving and painting late in life in a fantastical, surrealistic style.

Correspondent Kazue Kobata provides illuminating commentary for "The Perpetual Moment: Visions from within Okinawa and Korea."

A musical counterpart to producer and curator Kazue Kobata's P.S.1 exhibition "The Perpetual Moment: Visions from within Okinawa and Korea," with photographs depicting the effect of American military bases on their turf.

Wakamatsu Masadayu and Shizuru Otaka, a classically trained singer who also enjoys a career in commercial pop, with several hundred recordings to her credit, a band called Futon Logic, and a very particular way with every kind of song.

Kazue Kobata speaks to (and translates) Tsuguhiko Egawa, a young performer and composer whose music is an unusual form of speech that he has invented from overheard conversations and soundtracks.
