Portney,sheehan Live in Tokyo

Psychedelic funk veterans Lettuce have announced a re-release of their longtime-cherished album Live in Tokyo available via Lettuce Records on September 13th in celebration of the album’s 20th anniversary. The formative album will be released on vinyl for the first time ever and has been remastered for an enhanced audio experience.

Prince, live from Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan, August 31st 1990.One of the most influential artists of all time, described by the New York Times as "a master architect of funk, rock, R&B and pop", Prince challenged and refused to be labelled throughout an eminent career. This live performance from the Nude tour at the Tokyo Dome in 1990 is evidence of the incredible showmanship and flamboyance he brought to the stage. Along with a new Revolution backing him, the show highlights the classic hits and foundation of his meteoric rise to fame. A definite listen for any fan of the multi-instrumentalist and legend - presented here in remastered sound for your pleasure, the complete broadcast from Nippon TV.

We LOVE playing shows in Japan, and when we went in 2009, it had been 8 years since the previous tour there. We were excited, the crowds were warm and ecstatic. Luckily, our sound guy Luc recorded this show from Tokyo at O-West, where we happened to cover the song “Tokyo” by our friends Telekinesis. Enjoy!

This is a joint album by Akiko Yano and Hiromi Uehara, who are both based in New York and continue to perform internationally with their pianos, although in different genres. The album was recorded live at Bunkamura Orchard Hall on September 15, 2016, as part of Yano's 40th anniversary project. It has been five years since the two performed together on "Get Together -LIVE IN TOKYO-" released in November 2011. Like the previous album, this was a "one-night-only" situation, a heated piano session in which the two musicians shared their inspirations in front of an audience of 2,000 people. The album includes 8 songs performed on the day of the show. In addition to popular Akiko Yano songs such as "Tokyo wa Yoru no 7 o'clock," "I'll Fly Away," and "Ramen Tabetai," the album also includes "Dreamer," for which Yano wrote new lyrics to Hiromi Uehara's original, "Koi no Uta," a new song written by Hiromi Uehara, as well as jazz standards, children's songs, R&B and popular songs from the Showa period. The program consists of a medley of cover tunes that traverse the genres and eras.
