Vision Quest Tokyo presents "Summer Vision" at Differ Ariake in Odaiba. Live acts Void, S.U.N. Project, Exaile and Alternative Control, plus DJs Ami and Roger Jordan. Tickets are 7,000 yen at the door. Starts at 10 p.m. (This event will be held tonight in Osaka minus S.U.N. Project and Alternative Control.)
Maybe it's just me, but this week feels a bit like baseball's All-Star break, having just put the uphill half of the summer behind us at the wonderfully soggy Solstice Music Festival 2006 and the killer TPE open-air last weekend. Now that we've just finished the second-longest rainy season on record in Japan, how much fun are we're about to have in the next two months? If you're going to put your feet up this weekend, do it rhythmically and only one leg at a time.
