Youtube Live Tokyo 2008
Update: YouTube Live Tokyo is now in progress! [but it is not live]
Here’s a Japan first: Youtube is hosting a big concert on Sunday at Studio Coast in Tokyo in conjunction with the main Youtube event going on at the same time in San Francisco. The Japan event will be featuring performances by BOA, Kreva, and Ayuse Kozue, as well as our band, Fatblueman, who have been invited to sneak in a couple songs as well. Magibon, the girl with the big brown eyes and more subscribers than anyone else in Japan will be there as well. We’ll be joining her to sing her theme song, The Magibon Song, which ended up getting more attention than I ever would have guessed possible, in light of the fact that I wrote it in 20 minutes on a train ride to work.
I have heard that the event will also be connected via satellite with the American concert, which features names like Akon, Will.I.Am, Joe Satriani, Soulja Boy, along with a whole bunch of Youtube celebrities. The promo page is here.
Another first is that the whole event will be streamed live on Youtube. The Japan event starts at 3pm on Sunday afternoon, so tune in if you are interested. I am not yet sure about when we are on, but I am going to see if I can live blog from the event on the Fatblueman blog here, and, post some mobile videos from the event to our Youtube page. Check it out!
Oh, and while I am shamelessly self-promoting, a little freebie: if you want to hear what a Fatblueman sounds like, go download our album here. I’ll leave the link up for a few days.
