Hollywood’s Behind MeโAnd Here Comes the First Event Back in Japan.
On Saturday, March 29, weโre throwing an unprecedented party.
Itโs called:
โTonight, Just Rehearsingโฆ?โ
To put it simply:
This is an experimental event where musicians, together with a full sound crew, conduct a serious rehearsal sessionโlive. The audience gets to observe the entire process, raw and unfiltered, offering a unique opportunity for non-musicians to experience how music is actually made.
Think of it as something between a workshop and a live performance.
At its core, this project is about:
Giving people a deeper understanding of how musicians think, create, and performโbeyond the surface-level image often imposed by celebrity culture.
Highlighting theย artistic value of musicย in society by bridging the gap between artists and audiences.
Capturing it all as aย documentary film, so that even those who canโt attend can still feel part of it.
Itโs a statement. Itโs part of our STEAM education mission. And yes, itโs also a celebration of art.
Now, that might sound a little heavy-handed for an inviteโbut at the end of the day, what we want most is for you to have fun.
Thereโll be a bar corner run by a beautiful bar manager and skilled bartenders, and youโre absolutely welcome to chat and mingle during the rehearsals. And if the music moves youโplease, dance! When I performed on the streets of LA, one thing that really struck me was how naturally people let their bodies respond to the rhythm.
So come with the mindset that you are the star of this party. I wonโt be outshined so easilyโbut I welcome the challenge. ๐
Feel free to watch the rehearsals from anywhere in the studioโeven right next to the musicians. (Just a heads-up: the cameras will be rolling continuously, and footage will be used as-is, so we kindly ask for your discretion if you donโt want to appear on camera.)
We believe the physical experience of music is irreplaceableโsomething even the most advanced AI canโt replicate.

14:00ย โ Doors Open
14:30โ19:00ย โ Full Rehearsal (with DJ time breaks)

Looking forward to seeing you there. With all my thanks, Dan
Due to the closure at the end of this month, this will be the last Bar LSD performance (owned by book designer Hideo Shimada).
Thank you for all the wonderful encounters, Bar LSD. This time, I’ll perform new and cover songs in an acoustic style without backing tracks. Although I plan to stay still, I might end up dancing.
By the way, the curry here is delicious. There’s also a DJ TIME to enjoy drinks, ranging from sake to fine whiskey. I’ll be waiting for you in Shibuya on Wednesday night in two weeks.
The location is roughly behind Cerulean Tower. As usual, I need time to think about the invitation message, so please keep your schedule open.
