See you guys on our screening day and good luck to you all.
Soothing, smooth and sexy that's what Slideshow is all about. Slideshow is a band that enjoys playing songs with cool and soothing guitar licks,
sexy bass rifts and slides, piano/synth parts that makes you wanna
leave the "foreplay" stage, and pornographic drum kicks and strokes. Wow, that was HOT!
Slideshow was conceived when one of Stigma of Disgrace's guitarist, Rigor, decided to make a band that plays something sexy.The band made up of Miji from Asian Chicken Fest for their vocals, Val their keyboardist, Nathan for their bass, Drei for the groups synthesizer, and Mika of Fushizen for their Drums.
The group is about Jam... It's all about jammin' and making sexy music.
This band will also be present as one of our guest performers on October for Otomonogatari. Get to know them more by visiting their facebook page facebook.com/pages/Slideshow/283749678328216 and don't forget to like. Watch out for this band on Otomonogatari!
The artificially produced music that is techno, Japanese music will not be complete without this genre. If this is your preference surely Fushizen will deliver.
Started last year, December, a group of individuals, namely Coral422 on the synthesizer, Mika on drums and Masumi for vocals decided on creating an electronic band. Sadly Masumi left for Japan later on and left the group. They later on found Mark Down as the bassist then Kween for vocals. The group debuted May 12, 2012 on Visual Music Carnival at Amoranto Stadium.
The Group is deeply influenced by groups like Perfume, Nirgilis, Hatsune Miku, Megumi Nakajima, Daft Punk, Yui Horie, Shiho Nanba, Oster Project, Sasakure.UK. Fushizen plays Japanese electronic, trance and dance music.The name Fushizen means Unatural or Artificial in Japanese.
This new electronic band is already set for Otomonogatari. Visit and like their facebook page at facebook.com/fushizen.project and watch out for more bands coming your way for Otomonogatari: One Night of Pure Japanese Music.
Another addition to Otomonogatari's performace line up is ACF or Asian Chicken Fest. This band mostly
plays Japanese Anime / Game inspired songs. This has always been for the
band since they always hang out with other bands of the Jmusic
community.
Formed in March 2008 by Ericvids (former PPF All Stars / X versus Zero)
on bass/vocals and Kirby (former X Versus Zero) on guitars/vocals with
drummer Lino (then Ducklings). The band's main objective was to just
play happy, pop rock, punkish songs which was very different from their
other bands (except Lino which was already from a punk band). This was
an alternative from the Progressive rock / jazz band style of PPF All Stars and the semi Jrock style of X versus Zero.
the band's first official gig was March 1 2008 at the Tomasinotaku Nihon Nights 2 at the University of Sto. Tomas.
In June of the same year, Hao (also from PPF All Stars) joined the band
as Female vocalist. Ericvids had to leave the band to work and study in
Singapore and by September the Position was filled by Momiji (KiIro
Neko). Due to unstable work schedule, Lino also had to leave the band.
By November of 2008 Deamon of KiIro Neko was placed as drummer. This is
now the current line-up of the band.
What will ACF serve us for Otomonogatari? Visit and like their facebook page at facebook.com/asianchickenfest. The name of the band sure makes me hungry. Stay tuned in as we unveil the next Jperformer only here on Otomonogatari.
Our event will be held on 7th Flr. CAP Bldg. Amorsolo St. Makati City. For those who are unfamiliar with the place this post will help you get there.
There are a number of ways to get the the venue by public transpo. The place is at the center of Makati and its easy to get lost in such an urban town. The best route would be through MRT Ayala Station. From then on head to Landmark Mall and find the jeepney terminal, ride the jeep heading Libertad and ask to be dropped off Rufino St. and you can immediately see the building.
If your feeling adventurous we can always walk from MRT Ayala station. You can always googlemap the information anytime before going. If you ask me, the nearest drop off point if you wanna walk, would be if you ride a bus that passes by Ayala ave you can drop off PNB tower and walk V.A. Rufino St. until you reach Amorsolo St. You would instantly see the building.
Here is a map of the vicinity so to help you get around.

Another local Japanese band to watch out this coming Otomonongatari is a J-rock cover band that was created last August 26, 2007 comprised of cosplayers and anime enthusiasts, Ikuzo Iwa.
Ikuzo Iwa simply means “Let’s Go, ROCK!”. Named by their past guitarist[Jag], the band's music is deeply influence by L’Arc~en~Ciel, High and Mighty Color, Gackt, and many more. Over the years, they have participated in Anime Conventions and local Japanese Music events in the Philippines. Eventhough hey have been through various band line-up changes, they never give up pushing their passion for music while at the same time manage to be funny and down-to-earth.
Ikuzo Iwa enjoys their successes and the good memories they had with past events and singing about what they believe and feel is the truth. In every path that they take they will not be afraid in dealing with hardships and they managed to stay and strive together no matter what awaits them. That makes this band ROCK!
Watch out how this band will rock your world only on Otomonogatari: One Night of Pure Japanese Music. Visit and like this band facebook page at Facebook.com/ikuzoiwaofficial. Check this site from time to time and be updated with our up and coming performers to set the stage on fire this October.
Asterysk* is a Jrock inspired band with members hailing from Pasig,
Pasay, Cainta, Bulacan, Laguna and Cavite. Since each member brings its
own musical preference to the table, the resulting sound is a unique
blend of pop vocal stylings, solid hard rock basslines and progressive
rock guitar work.
The name Asterysk* was derived from the glyph that bears a similar name.
To make it truly representative of the band, vocalist Jazz Rosin thought
of creating a six-armed asterisk, one for each member of the band. Just
like the convergence of the symbol's arms to a singular point, each
band member contributes his and her own musical influence to produce a
unique blend of progressive pop-rock sound that has come to define the
band's core genre. To show how this band really rocks, here's a sample video below:
Fans of this local Jrock Band unite for Asterysk* will be one of our featured bands to rock the stage on Otomonogatari: One Night of Pure Japanese Music.
