Today I attended a live event at a movie theater / art gallery in Shibuya. The event showcased the work of a Thai manga artist who creates simplistic cartoon stories and sets them to his own piano music (there is no other sound in the animations). For the live event, he sat at a KORG digital piano and played music along with a DVD of his animation (just like the old-style silent movies of the 1920's). He spoke virtually no Japanese, so I was actually able to introduce myself in English. The above and below pictures are from the super creepy storeroom of the art gallery, which still had a few pieces from the last twisted exhibition hanging around.
