TOPS Japan Tour Diary

This February we toured 13 different cities in Japan. These photos were all taken by our friend Takuroh Toyama, who I first met at an all night party we played in Kyoto. Like many of the people that I connected with in Japan I was lucky that he chose to hang out with us and I’m even luckier that he took these photos because all we had were our phones, our shit photo-taking abilities and our friend Jasper, who came under the guise of official documentarian of the trip but mainly partied and filmed an ambient nature video (~coming soon~). Takuroh was a quiet guy who hung back and stealthily snapped photos – his picture-taking went almost entirely unnoticed in the best way possible. His tumblr has hundreds of pictures from shows he’s been to, and scrolling through them you really get a sense for the music scene in Japan, how many cool bands there are and how enthusiastic Takuroh is about being a part of it. You can check it here.    :) xo Jane
