ZAZEN BOYS to hold Jigoku no THE MATSURI SESSION in Hibiya, Kamome Jido Gasshodan and Yutaka Matsushige to participate
ZAZEN BOYS' live event, "Jigoku no THE MATSURI SESSION," will be held on Aug. 31 at the Hibiya Park Open Air Concert Hall (Hibiya Yaon) in Tokyo.

As the venue will enter a period of closure for redevelopment work starting Oct. 1, this will be the last "THE MATSURI SESSION" held at the current Yaon. This event will be a two-part structure, with Part 1, "Jigoku no Blue Thunder," by ZAZEN BOYS, and Part 2, "Jigoku no Shogyo Mujo," by Shutoku Mukai Acoustic & Electric. Kamome Jido Gasshodan will participate in Part 1, and Yutaka Matsushige will participate with a reading in Part 2. TICKET FROG is accepting advance ticket reservations until 11:59 p.m. on June 2.
Comment from Shutoku Mukai (ZAZEN BOYS, Shutoku Mukai Acoustic & Electric)
“‘Jigoku no Hero’ and ‘Jigoku no Shichinin’ are my favorite movies. ‘Jigoku no Keibiin’ naturally joins them. Everything is a memory. The Blue Thunder I saw then, floating in the night sky. It’s a memory. An afterimage. A memory. You could call it hell. Memories are hell. They must be hell. When Hibiya Yaon becomes a memory, a new memory of hell will be born.”
