I met Take-san at a meetup once month ago. He is one of the guitarist from Ninefall, a rock band based in Kyoto. And they are playing tonight at the Live House Gattaca!
I get there just a few minutes before the show. I meet with Take-san and we have a drink. The first of the six bands planned for the night starts playing.
The venue has not gotten bigger since the last time, but the conditions are still top notch: not too crowded, very good sound, and artists are really close. Ninefall is up next. I already know “Zanka”, and I discover their other titles which are just as efficient.
There is a break between each band, for the previous band to leave the stage and the next one to setup its gear (the drums and most of the amplifiers and microphones belong to the venue, so band can come only with the minimum). This is a good chance to meet with the other members of Ninefall and their friends.
The other bands do a great job as well. Good show !
