It is a rainy Saturday night and there is this air of anticipation inside the Eastside Events Place in Marikina. I am standing in the middle of a crowd of eager and passionate fans waiting for Japanese alternative rock band ‘Hitsujibungkaku’ to take the stage.
Eastside is a bar that is bigger than Route 196, Saguijo, and 70’s Bistro. There is an immense space for the crowd and the band is almost at the same level, almost at arm’s length, but not quite-an intimate show for sure. There are no seats to separate you from other fans. You are literally rubbing elbows with each other, .
Fukuda announced back in May that he will be taking a leave of absence to rest. The band will be having session drummers for their live performances and the Manila crowd was in for a treat as none other than ‘the peggies’ drummer Miku Onuki was behind the drum set to play for them. Fans may have first heard them with ‘more than words’ but Hitsujibungkaku are more than that, and their six-year discography proves that. Known for their dreamy vocals and harmonies mixed with playful guitar riffs and vulnerable lyrics, the band has gained a cult following on its own. Vocalist Moeka Shiotsuka speaks to the audience in a soft-spoken manner, but belts out as she sings and plays the guitar at the same time.
