Buriguri @ BUDOKAN!!

On Sunday 31st October, the brilliant green will be playing at the world famous Budokan along with a selection of other Warner artists in celebration of WARNER MUSIC JAPANS 40th.Anniversary ~100年MUSIC FESTIVAL~. The big news is that JJ (drums) and James MacWhyte (bass), the so called "Fake" band members, will be the official support members for this show. In fact they have been involved in intense rehearsals for the past few days.

Lets hope that we will be able to see some footage of this appear sooner or later on the internet. I am currently bugging JJ on twitter for more info on setlists, TV schedules etc

Hopefully more news to follow.

Latest tweet to me from JJ. The setlist is a big secret! Here's what he said about the choice of songs when I asked him if it was just songs from BLACKOUT or old songs too -

"right now gotta be hush hush on that, but i promise that info comes out Sunday! but it's a great choice! "

Hopefully it is a great mix of old and classic. But of course they will play some new songs since BLACKOUT just came out.

And kinda disappointed no Tommy heavenly6 Halloween show...

And you know people will still complain about JJ and James even though they are official support members, and not fake musicians.

I know!! Nobody seems to care about Toshi, Motoki and Hakase-san appearing on the SUPER TERRA 2000 DVD, along with various TV performances around that time. Strange...

I saw this on facebook today! I'm excited. C:

Maybe its the fact that they are japanese, while JJ and James are white. That shouldn't matter. Their playing ability should be what counts...

WOW great news!!! Hope they broadcast it soon!

But yea, no Tommy heavenly6 Halloween concert is disappointing...

Wow, saw this news on Facebook while I should be studying for my midterm LOL~ That's wonderful!! xD Yay for buriguri performing! <333

JJ and James outside the Budokan before todays show. Good luck guys!

Dressed and ready to go. OMG, I NEED THAT CLOTHING!!!

The only other information I've found is that they performed "There will be love there -愛のある場所-" and "LIKE YESTERDAY" (maybe more?), and apparently "wasted their valuable live performance time" celebrating James or JJ's birthday.

I'm fine with those other guys because they were solely support musicians and not wearing stupid wigs (except the keyboardist ) and being credited as actors. I'm mostly just bitter about them being used to fill empty space in videos with Ryo gone.

Thanks for the news and pics!!

I understand what you are saying about the wig twins, but I think we should respect Tommy and Shunsaku's decision regarding this and accept that this is how it is going to be for the foreseeable future. At first I wasn't impressed by their appearance, but when I realised that it was obvioulsy an image/vision of Tommy's I accepted it.I actually had the same opinion of the Tommy heavenly videos. I would rather just have Tommy than have male models etc appear. I think this is just one of Tommy's quirks. I am just happy that JJ and James actually turned out to be real musicians, and the last thing we should do is blame or hate them for it, as they are just doing their job.

Strange, the link doesn't work anymore...

You can see Tommy and Shunsaku in the back left corner of the first picture.

Cool, thanks...

Exaactly. Although now that I realize they're supporting musicians, I'm a lot more accepting of it. And you're right Sneaky - it's Tommy/Shunsaku's vision/quirky humor that I love (or at least, try to get most of the time ...) and I'm trying to see it that way too.
