Crossing Carnival – Orisaka Yuta X Kaneko Ayano

Coming to Shibuya’s  WWW X on December 19, singer-songwriters Orisaka Yuta and Kaneko Ayano invite you to a night of live performances with their respective ensembles.

Born in Tottori prefecture, Orisaka Yuta spent his childhood in Japan, Russia and Iran. Though dropping out of school at an early age, the desire to fully engage with music evidently turned out to be not that of a bad decision. With three albums and performances at several festivals (FUJI Rock Festival and RISING SUN Rock Festival in 2018) as well as newly started acting career, Orisaka is gaining increasing recognition. With a mixture of blues, jazz, latin, country and Japanese folklore, Orisaka’s music challenges and attracts.

Inspired by 90s Brit-pop and rock, always with a focus on the narrative, Yokohama-born pop singer Kaneko Ayano offers thoughtful tracks dealing with topics such as harassment, fear and love. Her latest single Sansan (Brilliant) is no exception.
