Kento Nagatsuka (WONK)| Cruise on Shinsaibashi PARCO with WONK vocalist Kento Nagatsuka, who will be performing in Osaka on January 8 (Mon./holiday).

"WONK" is an experimental soul band that attracts attention from Japan and abroad. On January 8th (Mon./holiday), vocalist Kento Nagatsuka visited Shinsaibashi PARCO while holding a live concert in Osaka for the first time in about half a year at gorilla Hall in Suminoe Ward, Osaka City. In addition to his outstanding aesthetic sense, he enjoyed the scent shop, select shop that he loved himself, and flavorful coffee from a unique perspective unique to former bistro chefs.

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

 

Nagatsuka: "I've been to Osaka for the first time in about six months, but I have a strong memory of when I was running out. At that time, the members and equipment were loaded in the car, and they moved with a gyugu on a single car (laughs). It's still good to go, but it was hard to go home.…。 Even recently, I move as soon as the live is over, so I don't have much memory of enjoying Osaka. So it was a little bit today, but it was fun to visit Shinsaibashi PARCO. Finally, we had a delicious crepe.” (Mr. Nagatsuka, who was enjoying the crepe of Mar Tome the Juicary Parfaiter on the B1F after the interview)

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

 

Nagatsuka: "It's a new live house that we just created last year, so we're really looking forward to seeing what kind of space it is like. In addition, this live performance is also a place to express for the first time special things that I thought about from the COVID-19 pandemic. There will be a Tokyo performance 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 live show (laughs). I hope you will be able to see the show.”
