Songs of freedom by Odotte Bakari no Kuni and HAPPY

“I thought freedom was the sound that Odotte Bakari no Kuni currently needed to express. We pray that someone’s lonely evenings can be flown away through our music.” A statement made by vocalist Shimotsu in regards to their song「orion」released in July of 2020 during the spread of the new coronavirus and the toll it has taken on their active roles as well as the worldwide circumstances.
Odotte Bakari no Kuni, making regular appearances at large-scale festivals liberating crowds with overwhelming sense of fantasy, and the band HAPPY, having toured the US including SXSW Festival in Texas and appearing in local festivals such as SUMMER SONIC, have been scheduled to perform on this day.
Odotte Bakari no Kuni’s album「Watashi wa Tsuki ni wa Ikanai Darou」released in January last year feels like the ultimate goal of the band that has transitioned over the years. Melancholic yet affectionate with deep emotions that travel through their distinct multilayered sounds that holds true to the band’s identity.
The Psychedelic Rock band HAPPY reflects the Rock movement of America’s late 60’s, 70’s of London, and 90’s Grunge. Their latest release「HIGH PLANET CRUISE」displays all of the characteristics. Their inspirations are painted in the form of music that has been achieved through sweet vocals, guitars, trippy synths, and unique bass lines.
A rare opportunity to catch these two unique bands on one stage sharing their psychedelic music, feeding the minds of many people in this day and age of difficult times.
