This time, the two-man live will feature the sibling unit "Kicell," composed of Takefumi Tsujimura and Tomoharu Tsujimura, and singer-songwriter Yuko Ikema.
Kicell's warm, immersive sound and Yuko Ikema's sharp indie folk that resonates to the core of the heart are a must-see.

A sibling unit consisting of Takefumi Tsujimura and Tomoharu Tsujimura.
Formed in 1999. They create their unique, ethereal, and fantastic music using instruments such as cassette MTRs, rhythm boxes, samplers, and musical saws.
While affiliated with Speedstar Records, they released four full albums. Since moving to KAKUBARHYTHM in 2006, they have actively released albums such as "magic hour," "Nagi," "SUKIMA MUSICS," "Akarui Maboroshi," "The Blue Hour," and "Negoto no Jikan," along with 10-inch records and EPs limited to live venues, with every work hailed as a masterpiece by many music aficionados.
In recent years, the elder brother Takefumi plays the drums, and the younger brother Tomoharu plays handmade bamboo instruments, focusing on a three-person configuration with the support of Takuji Nomura (from Good Luck Heiwa) for recording and live performances across the country.
On April 2, 2025, they released their 9th New Album "Kantenbouki," their first in seven and a half years.
