Requests to Our Customers
Please be aware that the venue will be very crowded if you try to purchase your ticket reservations shortly before the opening time of 19:00. In order to avoid the congestion and ensure a smooth opening, we will start accepting reserved ticket purchases at the reception desk starting at 18:00. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we would like to ask for your cooperation in purchasing tickets early in the time difference. After purchase, you will be able to enter the venue in numerical order upon your return at 19:00 when the venue opens. Thank you for your cooperation.
The A.K.I. Blues Band offers a fun-filled Rock 'n' Roll & Blues that overflows as soon as you walk in the door. And everyone sings because they want to. The simple impulse conquers all! This is a reunion live after one year.
Sizzle Ohtaka was probably the most frequently guested female singer in my series at the Pit Inn, such as 'Petit Ohshigoto' and 'Fuyu no Buri Buri. We are reminded even before the show begins how much we will miss 'Petit Ohshigoto' without her.
In particular, she and 'Komatcha Klezmer’, with whom she had the closest friendship, were known as ‘Komattaka’, and have performed together at various venues in Tohoku and Niigata and so on, besides at the Pit Inn.
So, I am thinking of featuring the works of Sizzle Ohtaka in this event, but to be honest, I am completely at a loss for what to do with the project. There is no one in the world who can replace her voice or sing like her. There is nothing I can do but go on stage with this troubled mind.
Sizzle Ohtaka has written some great lyrics to some of my songs. One of the songs, 'Vietnamese Gospel' was also sung by Sizzle Ohtaka. And ‘Awake' which I had planned to have Ms. Ohtaka sing on my new album with Makoto Yoshimori. It was a dream that never came true, but I am planning to play this piece as well.
Although the shadow of Ms. Ohtaka may appear here and there, 'Petit Ohshigoto' is still composed of musicians who cannot be replaced by anyone else. There is no substitute for the members of 'Komatcha', Hitoshi Komuro, the members of the day, the A.K.I. Blues Band, Makoto Yoshimori, and of course Tavito Nanao. I hope to be one of those musicians, too.
'Petit Ohshigoto' has been held every year since 2001, and even though it has been held 22 times, each time was different.
Live performances are all about the moment. So please, everyone, come to the show and see what will happen!
