Stepping out into the streets of Tokyo can imply complete sensory overload: billboards, lights, indicators taking over each sq. inch of house on each constructing, the crowds, the style and the sounds. CHAMELEON LIME WHOOPIEPIE is a band that seemingly manages to pack all of that power into their music and efficiency.
Fronted by singer Chi-, who has brilliant orange hair and wears a pair of sun shades that flash with always altering LED designs, the trio is rounded out with two different musicians dressed as big, monstrous bunny rabbits named Whoopies No.1 and Whoopies No.2.
Collectively, they make catchy, hyperactive J-pop that has caught the eye of audiences all the best way throughout the ocean at SXSW in Austin, Texas, the place they performed each this yr and final yr.
Right this moment, for our Sense of Place: Japan collection, we speak to Chi-, by way of interpreter Hideko Morita, in regards to the band. Plus, CHAMELEON LIME WHOOPIEPIE performs in entrance of a reside World Cafe viewers at WALL&WALL in Tokyo.
