One of the newest and hottest street bands in Osaka is もも色パラダイス. They’ve recently been voted the Number 2 street band in The Kinki region (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Hyogo, etc.) and the Number 5 national street band. I met up with them to shoot one of their impromptu street performances in the middle of Osaka, at the famous Dotonbori.

Even though it’s really cold in Osaka at the moment, and it’s been snowing for a while, there’s still an awesome atmosphere in the markets of Nanba on the weekends.

Dotonbori in Osaka

They’ve been busy doing gigs on the streets of Osaka, and you can usually see them around Umeda and Namba, or the famous Dotonbori. They have strong voices and great presence so I expect to see much more of them in the future.
They have an official website but as is with most Japanese bands the website is aimed at views on mobile phone, so don’t be fooled by the design of the site.
They have also been featured on Kansai TV. The second video below is a recording of one of their street performances. The last is an official Music Video they have recently released.

This is a bit different to the usual stuff you see here, but it was fun to be able to go out and do something a bit different.
