TRUNK(HOTEL) CAT STREET, a boutique hotel located in Shibuya Ward's Jingumae district, will host the third installment of its live music event 'As One' on Friday, July 31, 2026, at its main lounge, TRUNK(LOUNGE).
Conceived and produced by artist Nao Kawamura, the event is themed around 'a one-night playground where artists move fluidly between the mainstream and underground scenes.' The first edition in July 2025 featured SIRUP, aimi, and NAGAN SERVER, while the second in January 2026 welcomed Ryosuke Takaiwa, Grace Aimi, and Shota Takagi (BREIMEN), collectively captivating over 700 audience members to date. 'As One' has evolved into a unique space where artists and audiences connect beyond boundaries, offering an intimate experience of music being created in real time.
For Vol.3, frontman guests include Jeremy Quartus—the solo project of Nulbarich vocalist JQ—Akko Gorilla, a Japanese alternative rapper who creates festive soundscapes under the concept 'Fragmentation is Light,' and Tab Zombie, trumpeter of the instrumental jazz quartet SOIL&"PIMP"SESSIONS. On the night, these four accomplished artists will perform their own songs, specially arranged and presented with a one-day-only band formation. Between sets, spontaneous jam sessions will encourage interaction among performers and attendees, with impromptu guest appearances by other artists also welcome. Attendees can look forward to a special stage where improvisational musical expressions intersect.
