Thus the Others Had Told My Word is a cinematic live production that reimagines the expressive language of Japanese rock, pop, and contemporary instrumental music, presented by team Azalea. Paying tribute to artists such as Yorushika, TK from Ling Tosite Sigure, ZUTOMAYO, Mrs. GREEN APPLE, and Vaundy, the show brings together exceptional musicians to explore a vivid sonic world shaped by J-rock, math rock, post-rock, jazz fusion, and large-scale ensemble performance.
Built entirely from existing songs, the production approaches cover music not as imitation, but as a means of transforming borrowed words and sounds into a new artistic statement. Through detailed arrangements, striking guitar textures, cinematic visuals, and high-level musicianship, the concert creates an immersive experience that is a must-see for anyone drawn to the world of J-pop.
