Takkyu Ishino
One half of the massive Denki Groove and the man behind the enormous WIRE events, Japanese techno stars don't come any bigger than Takkyu Ishino. He is a real entertainer and having played to a million people at Berlin's Love Parade in 1998 (video below), it's probably safe to say he knows how to work a crowd.
The club is close from J-Hoppers Hiroshima!!!
Why don't you go and have a good time during you stay in Hiroshima??

Irish flute player Hanz Araki is the quintessential world music musician. He has performed around the world with the Juno Award-winning Paperboys, The Bridies, Casey Neill and an all-star tribute to The Pogues called "K.M.R.I.A." He has played with the Seattle Symphony, the University of Washington Wind Ensemble and is featured on more than a dozen recordings and soundtracks, from feature films and documentaries to popular video games.
While his love is Irish music, his deep roots are in the shakuhachi, the traditional bamboo "Zen flute" of Japan. Hanz (short for Hanzaburo) is the world’s only sixth generation shakuhachi player, following in the footsteps of his father, Kinko Ryu Grand Master Kodo Araki V. With no prior musical training, Hanz took up the shakuhachi at age 17. Under his father’s tutelage, four months later he made his concert debut in Shimoneski, Japan. He went on to teach shakuhachi at Keio University for two years before moving back to his hometown of Seattle in 1991.
There, his American mother’s Gaelic roots came into play, and he began teaching himself Irish and Scottish tunes on the flute and whistle, inspired by the many excellent pipers and fiddlers in Seattle. His ability on the flute and his uncanny command of traditional songs with his voice quickly made him a fixture of the Irish music scene in America.
In 2004, Hanz released a solo album of traditional Scottish and Irish music with a fresh new slant, "Six of One, Five of the Other." It has been favorably received by fans and Irish music aficionados and earned him liveireland.com's Best Newcomer of the Year and KLCC's "Best Music of 2004" list. His newest release, "Little Fires" is a bold mix of traditional Celtic and modern music.
With the following day a National Holiday, this has the making of a quite a party.
Date: Monday, November 22nd 20:30
Place: Molly Malones
Free Kagura At The BankThe Hiroshima Chamber of Commerce is putting on free kagura performances at the Former Bank of Japan building (Kyu Nichigin) on weekend and holiday nights throughout April.
On each of the nights there will two 45 minute performances starting at 19:00 and finishing at 20:40.
They will close the doors if it gets full so you should probably try and get there a bit ahead of time.

Peace Boulevard and parts of the city center will be illuminated with thousands of colored light bulbs to what some think are somewhat tasteless effect and to others are exciting and fun.
This year there are 23 different theme areas and they boast that Dreamination beats the rest of Japan's illuminations in three respects: 2km of illuminations along Peace Boulevard, 120,000 bulbs and a 30m tall decorated tree.
It would be nice to see solar panels along the boulevard charging up power during the day to run the illuminations at night to make it a less wasteful event.
Live music shows on every Saturdays.
Walk across hot coals "to pray for protection from illness and disaster."
You can join the other participants who go through physical pain in hopes of future comfort.
Some claim that if you have
"a pure heart" or good reasons to will yourself across the coals....
it doesn't hurt at all.
According to the official Miyajima Homepage:
In 1888, Daishoin temple was totally destroyed by fire except for the main Daishido Hall.
The current Daishoin is a reconstruction of the former building. There are many ceremonies that take place year-round here as Daishoin is a very important temple according to the Buddhist faith.
It would be a good Japanese travel experience!
To Miyajima Island is 40-minute tram ride and 10 minutes by ferry boat from J-Hoppers Hiroshima!
