macaroom and Toshiaki Chiku x Taiku Jikan: Nishikobe Performance Ticket

Overview

Experience a truly unique musical landscape as the experimental electronica unit macaroom, the legendary Toshiaki Chiku, and the world-music ensemble Taiku Jikan (TAIKUH JIKANG) converge for an outdoor performance in Hokkaido. This rare collaboration brings together three distinct artistic forces at the creatively repurposed Guesthouse GA.KOPPER.

macaroom, an electronica-pop duo known for their “phonelyrics” and innovative sound design, joins forces with Toshiaki Chiku (a veteran of the iconic bands Tama and Pascals) to create a whimsical, slightly surreal sound that bridges folk and the digital frontier. They are joined by Taiku Jikan, a group led by Kawamura Tsuyoshi that reimagines the rhythms of Southeast Asian gamelan and Japanese folk traditions into a trancelike, contemporary groove. This “3-way” outdoor live is set against the historical backdrop of pit dwellings, promising a sensory experience that feels both ancient and futuristic.
