Omodaka
Omodaka began as a project that fused music and motion graphics. During his live performance, Omodaka uses a DS Lite, PSP, GAMEBOY, Kaossilator, and LCD display to create a mysterious 8bit chaotic scene. You can check out his music videos at [youtube.com/fareastrecording](http://youtube.com/fareastrecording)

Hyperpotamus
Hyperpotamus is a London-based multi-vocal solo artist from Madrid, Spain. He makes music using only his voice, a few microphones and a loop pedal. His music layers his own vocal rhythms, harmonies, beats and song using a loop pedal, in much like a jigsaw order; often revealing the full orchestration, half way through, on the crescendo of his songs. Intricate syncopated rhythms, hypnotic vocal harmonies, raps and beatbox pulses all come together to weave a unique musical tapestry that often mixes languages in response to both his Catalan and London influences.

Samieru
Name is Sam. Samuel. Sammy. Bazl Whammy. Elu Sari. Sami Elu. Sammy L I invented this thing called the chopstick piano. I play music on it. I like it a lot when kids join in with me, and I encourage little ones to get a groove on. With the loving help and support from my peoples, my life mission is to use what resources I have to continue the ever-infinitely cycling creative process, build more sound machines, twine more melodies, and get bigger and bigger groups of kids (and adult kids) together to join in on some ecstatic group biorhythms.

Shizuka Nagahama (lazuccalunga)
Born in Milan and raised in Johannesburg, Shizuka Nagahama is a multimedia artist who harnesses her distinctive sensibilities and unique expression to create video, illustration and music under the moniker “lazuccalunga.” At This&That Café, she will be projecting a collage of some of the amazing shots she has collected in her world travels, including immersive 360º Spherical photos and videos she took with the revolutionary RICOH THETA-S. Paired with some of the musical guests for the evening, join lazuccalunga on an amazing audio-visual journey that could only happen at #TnTCafe.

Luise Ono
The artwork of painter/artist Luise Ono draws from organic patterns, looking to flowers, plants, and nature for inspiration. She has appearing in events as a live-painter since 2010, and had multiple opportunities in store-fronts and offices around Japan to create sprawling installation works. When performing at events she generally works with her partners under the name “MiL”. Together they have appeared in many art and music festivals.

Unusual Club (Djs)
Our musical style is very broad, hence the “Unusual” name. We typically play a back-to-back set. It sometimes creates discordances since our taste and mood can be different, but we appreciate the “wave” that results. Although our musical styles range from rock, indie, reggae, asl the way to dub, funk, jazz, new wave and hip hop, the common ‘roots’ that we often revisit are mostly electronic/techno/house. We have been regular DJs at SNIFF SNIFF (now Roarrr) and CONTROL parties. Paul is English and Sebastien is French Canadian, both based in Tokyo for about 8 years.

This&That Cafe is a free event open to the public in which artists from all genres and backgrounds donate their time and talents in the spirt of sharing. It is a place where music and visual arts meld in unexpected collaborations. A forum for artists from afar to meet with local luminaries amidst the dense and eclectic pool of talent in Tokyo. A venue to gather, exchange ideas, share artistic inclinations and wax poetic in a causal community of old friends and new acquaintances. Come early to get a seat and take advantage of the fetching fare on the SuperDeluxe menu, or just pop in for a drink on your way home from work. All are welcome.
