Kento Nagatsuka (WONK) | Cruise on Shinsaibashi PARCO with Kento Nagatsuka, vocalist of WONK, scheduled for a performance in Osaka on January 8 (Mon./holiday).

"WONK" is an experimental soul band that attracts attention both in Japan and overseas. On January 8 (Mon./holiday), vocalist Kento Nagatsuka visited Shinsaibashi PARCO in preparation for the first time in about six months at gorilla Hall, a live house in Suminoe-ku, Osaka. In addition to the outstanding aesthetic sense, from a unique perspective unique to a former bistro chef, he enjoyed the scent shop, a select shop that he loves himself, and a flavorful coffee.

—How did you visit Osaka and Shinsaibashi PARCO after a long time?

 

Nagatsuka: "I've been to Osaka for the first time in about six months, but I have a strong memory of when I started running. That's why at that time, I loaded the members and equipment in the car and moved with a single unit (laughs). It's still good to go, but it's hard to go home.…。 Even recently, I will move as soon as the live performance is over, so I don't have much memory of enjoying Osaka. So it was just a little bit today, but it was fun to visit Shinsaibashi PARCO. Finally, I had a delicious crepe." (Mr. Nagatsuka, who was enjoying the crepe of Martome the Juusalie parfaiter on B1F after the interview.)

—January 8th (Mon./holiday) at gorilla Hall Osaka is approaching a few days away. Please tell me your enthusiasm!

 

Nagatsuka: "It's a new live house that was just created last year, so all members are really looking forward to what kind of space it is. In addition, this live performance was also a place to express the special things I had thought from the COVID-19 pandemic for the first time. There will be a performance in Tokyo two days after Osaka, and it will be shown only at the Osaka venue. As I said so far, I'm very sorry that I couldn't make it clear until the day of the show (laughs). I would be glad if you could come and see the live show."
