3 tracks. One city. The heat of Tokyo in 9 minutes and 36 seconds.
Atsui Otoko — hot man in Japanese. Or: the heat itself. Live From Japan is three versions of the same idea, each one faster, stranger, further from where it started. Recorded in the headspace of Tokyo: Shinkansen speed, onsen stillness, neon at 2am.
World. Latin. Cumbia. Japan. The tags don't quite cover it — which is, of course, the point.

Atsui means hot. Otoko means man. But in Japanese, the order matters — the adjective comes first. The heat defines the man. That's the whole album in one grammar lesson.
