“origami SAI” to be held in Osaka for the first time in three years – Comments from artists

The label event “origami SAI 2024 OSAKA” by origami PRODUCTIONS will be held at Ajiuma Universe in Osaka on Sunday, October 6th.

The concert will feature Ovall, who just released his 4th album “Still Water”, Michael Kaneko, who also released his 3rd album “Daydreams” and made waves, Nenashi, who released his 1st album “Found in Tokyo” and performed at “FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL’24”, and Kan Sano, who will perform a rare solo set. It will be a special day where all the origami artists will come together, and there will also be a special session with all the performers on each artist’s stage.

Tickets will be available for pre-sale starting today at 6:00 PM. This is the label’s first attempt to offer free admission to those under 18. In addition, those who have tickets for Ovall’s release tour will also have the privilege of attending the public rehearsal.

This will be the first time the event is held in Osaka in approximately three years since 2021.

I can’t wait to see you all in Osaka for the first time in a long time since 2021. I’m also working on a live version from the new album, so please look forward to it. Ajizono Universe will be closing at the end of this year. It’s a Still Water festival in that wonderful space!

It’s been a while since we’ve had origami SAI in Osaka, and it’s at the famous Ajizono Universe! It’s a venue that holds a lot of memories for us, Ovall, and we’ll be performing our new album Still Water. I think this will be an origami SAI that’s unique to Osaka and can’t be experienced anywhere else. Please come and join us!

origami SAI will be held in Osaka for the first time in three years, and I am really looking forward to it!
Since the release of “Still Water” Ovall’s live performances have evolved, so come experience their current sound!
Ajizono Universe has been a great help to me in Ovall, so I’d like to finish by playing guitar with all my heart!!

[Comment from Kan Sano]

We’re going to do origami SAI in Osaka! The venue is none other than Ajizono Universe!!! I’ve performed there a few times in the past, and the nostalgic atmosphere of the Showa era cabaret is addictive! It’s strangely calming, and I absolutely love it. I’m really looking forward to it. This time, Kan Sano will be performing solo. It’s going to be lonely, so please liven things up! Please!

[Comment from Michael Kaneko]

It’s been 3 years since the last origami SAI OSAKA. We are all looking forward to playing great music in Osaka with the origami TEAM. We look forward to seeing you all there!

[Nenashi comment]

They will be coming back to Osaka for the first time in a while with their first album, which was released in April this year!
I heard that Ajiuma Universe will be closing at the end of the year, so I would love to make some memories there.
I am looking forward to meeting you all.
