Congratulations to "Good Crew"!
I had the distinct honor on a recent visit to Tokyo to attend the performances of the 10 finalists of a musical contest, "OtoRevo," put on by Columbia Music Entertainment. It was a battle of the band context with a social media component -- completely powered by Movable Type -- in which fans would view, comment, and vote on their favorite bands. A sort of American Idol for bands. I had planned on being polite and catching just the first few acts to support this great use of MT, but I loved the energy, creativity, and the musicality of the amateur bands and stayed all the way through. One of my favorite bands, Good Crew, won with "I Say Go." They really deserved the win. They had tremendous energy and stage presence and the lead singer has great charisma. They also have a TypePad blog! Here's a video:
Many of the stories of the musicians were touching -- even based on the little I was able to get translated for me live. And some of the songs we touching too. The catchiest tune to my ears was from Omitaka which translates as "The story which is read in you." Here it is (it's now in my iTunes):
Congratulations to all the musicians and to Columbia Music Entertainment for a fantastic production.
