Takkyu Ishino

Takkyu Ishino is all over the board in electronic music, from chirpy pop to minimalism to the sort of dirty repetitive trance you're supposed to space out to on a beach in Thailand. But I first noticed him for his pop music, which is usual for me since I don't like to space out on beaches in Thailand. This one, Stereo Nights, is great electronic pop like Four Tet filtered through some J-Pop light goofiness/kitsch.

He got his start with technopop group Denki Groove, then gained a following in Germany when he started working solo. Here's a glimpse of what to expect from him for a festival crowd (and I was surprise at him being profiled on Japanese TV--I thought he was all underground and stuff : )

I'm not making any promises, but if he can get blondes in bikinis dancing in Berlin, surely we can expect as much at Fuji? Anyway, I defy you to watch this clip and not pine for a hastily poured paper cup of beer with globules of mud in it.

Ishino's been playing FRF every odd year for the past couple of years now. Here's a report of his performance in '05 at Orange Court and some photos from Red Marquee '07.

A lot of the photos around the swimwear type are really beautiful. You might have accomplished a great job accounting for the most recent styles for 2010 and beyond. Summertime is doubtlessly correct in this case well ahead of we realise it and we will may possibly all be surfing around for swimming matches much like the the kinds with your primary piece. Activities Illustrated easily just introduced the specific swimwear edition and we are going to almost all be within the search for bikinis the same as the bikiniss within your precise tale.
