A Strange Hotel

Overview

The final piece from the 'THE MUSIC POTLATCH' series, which began in March 1985 and was held at Shibuya Jean-Jean. It is the only piece in the series in which Furukawa Anzu performed with Japanese music. The lively exchanges between Furukawa and Kineya Yasosuke, the "Japanese Paco de Lucia", have the audience laughing out loud.
The entire performance takes place at a "Strange Hotel", which is based on the house of a demon from the nagauta song "Adachigahara".

Act 1: Happy New Year ("Sanbaso" [New Year celebratory performance])
Act 2: The Room Next Door (Yasosuke-Anzu Battle of Talents)
Act 3: The Secret of the Hotel ("Adachigahara" - the complete nagauta song)
