I started a YouTube channel!! Longer format video to better show my process and story arc. Link in bio!!!

Episode 3: “How the Hybrid Kimono Zine happened”

“THE HYBRID KIMONO ZINE” is complete!!! This is THE zine that needed to exist. As a biologically and culturally Mixed Japanese artist, the current underground kimono resurgence mixing Japanese antique clothes with Western items indirectly validated my existence. It’s not one or the other, it’s dope BECAUSE it’s both.
When Yumi (@kazuji.san) let me borrow boxes full of kimono, I immediately drew up designs that mix PNW thrift and punk to create a PNW specific zine that only we could create. I’m sooooooooooo proud of this one!!! It’s my third zine, mixing my best photography, rare concept, super rare interview, design, community.. and most of all, I miraculously found a way to demystify and materialize this underrepresented hybrid crosspoint of tradition and punk, Japan and the West, gritty and pop. If this super specific zine resonates w you, I’m sooooo stoked for you to see this!!

Now available in the @yamada.vending.co machine in Eugene, and events I’m tabling!! (@punkrockfleamarketseattle @pdx_zines )

Thank you sooooo much to everyone that lent me their gifts to make this zine so cool!!!!!

[Christian Metal + City Pop + Black/Doom + Country Gospel]
September 10th at Bunk Bar in Portland, Oregon.
And this is actually the last show -the very last night of our USA tour.

This is not a church show.
This is an event where we get to play alongside local artists from Portland.
This is a show out in the wild, right in the heart of the Portland music scene.

We love playing Christian festivals, but for this show, we want to become a part of the Portland music scene.

We love the Pacific Northwest.
We love these liberal cities.

And maybe that's because we're from Japan.
As Japanese people, we feel strangely at home in this part of America for so many reasons.

We have a different mission from many other Christian bands based in the USA, because we come from a completely different cultural context and background.

Our music is rooted in traditional hard rock and heavy metal from the 1970s and 1980s.
But the true essence of our music also comes from the latest indie noise and experimental sounds born in the underground Japanese music scene.

This is new territory for us to conquer.
And this Japanese band, Imari Tones, is ready to go there.

The lineup is awesome.

We have MeeyanPunch, a wonderful Japanese artist based in Portland.
So it's going to be like a little "Japan Night."

We have BAE, who play a truly unique blend of black metal and doom rock.

And we have our friend Funky Sunday Party, bringing their own mix of Christian rock, country&blues.

And there's us Imari Tones.
Bringing you the pure joy of 80s metal, mixed with all the Japanese goodness.

This is a multinational, multiracial, multicultural event, bringing together different kinds of music.

We want to show you something:
real peace and harmony,
forgiveness and love,
and a true kind of diversity.

The kind of diversity that can only happen when different people, cultures, ideas, and sounds come together in a place like Portland.

And from here, we want to bring that message of peace to the world.

In the name of rock 'n' roll, we can come together as one.
We still believe that music can unite people.

See you soon!
God bless you all!
