A space and experience created by professionals in the field of play. The Exhibition" by "Somewhere in Tokyo" will be held in Nihonbashi Kabuto-cho.

After the pandemic, I often saw the words "Somewhere in Tokyo" in party information on social networking sites. The literal translation of the phrase is "some place in Tokyo," but it seems to me that the phrase reflects the desire of people to continue to party despite the restrictions on their freedom caused by the Corona Disaster.

Even before such a phenomenon occurred, there is a mysterious group that has been active in a variety of fields under the trade name "Somewhere in Tokyo," including irregular music events, art exhibitions, apparel goods, drink and food pop-ups, and more.

Their logo was designed by Tomoo Gokita, a proud Japanese painter, and Joji Nakamura, who is also well known in HOUYHNHNM's, and they have gained support from DJs in the underground scene in Japan. Calling themselves "Total Chaos Space," they have been working with high sensitivity and sharp angles.

Somewhere in Tokyo" will hold "The Exhibition," the culmination of its activities to date, at the Keshiki/AA complex in Nihonbashi Kabuto-cho from April 8 (Sat) to 23 (Sun). The exhibition will feature artworks by three up-and-coming artists, Hiroaki Ooka, Joji Nakamura, and R-area, and a party for 88 people every Saturday during the exhibition period, inviting DJs who are close friends of the artists.

The sound system is by "K-array by SURD Co., Ltd.", sound design by "grayfield" of "Hatagaya Forestlimit", and visual effects by graphic designer Ginji Kimura, all professionals in the field. The unimpeded flow of food and drinks can also be enjoyed at Pony Pasta, a fresh pasta restaurant located within the facility.

The music video for this event, created by filmmaker Kiyotaka Sumiyoshi with music by DJ Nobu, has a mysterious and dangerous aroma that somehow makes you want to reach out and touch it, giving it an obscure worldview.

Below is the statement by "Somewhere in Tokyo". We hope that even one more person will visit the venue after reading this statement.

Somewhere in Tokyo is pleased to announce the opening of "The Exhibition".
Originally, we had been working with the idea of cross-fertilizing and refining our core culture/content and expressing it in a variety of places and spaces in a godforsaken way. However, due to the pandemic of the past several years, we have repeatedly planned and abandoned such activities.
In the midst of all this, he met Keshiki (scenery)/AA (aa), a complex that was built in Nihonbashi Kabuto-cho at the end of 2022.
The idea of "finding a space in which people and content interweave to create a landscape that changes from moment to moment" was as close as we could come to what we envisioned, and fortunately, various timing and awareness coincided to make things proceed smoothly and finally come to fruition.
In the vast space of approximately 150 square meters, art pieces by three artists, each of whom has developed his or her own unique field and has a one-of-a-kind presence, will decorate the space.
On each Saturday during the exhibition period, a state-of-the-art sound system will be installed, and "parties" will be held by excellent DJs of all ages, genders, and genres, who are active both in Japan and abroad.
In addition, Pony Pasta, a fresh pasta restaurant located in the same facility, offers not only pasta, but also craft beer, natural wine, and other exquisite dishes.
We would like to express our gratitude to all those who have supported us in this endeavor, and we hope that as many people as possible will be able to experience "Somewhere in Tokyo". We hope that as many people as possible will be able to experience "Somewhere in Tokyo".
