My heroes “Maywa Denki” in Paris

switched on cappa
we make money not art: Maywa Denki in Paris — 11:24 PM events
Maywa Denki is performing at Quartier d’ete Festival in Paris on July 21,22 and 23.
This art unit, which is produced by Nobumichi Tosa, has been inventing a number of hard-to-describe electric devices by transforming the history and culture of small electrics manufacturers in Japan’s high-growth period (about 40 years ago)…

Maywa Denki is more Japanese than the Emperor.

Maywa Denki used to have many TV performances on Beat Takeshi’s TV Tokyo art program Daredemo Picasso with their silly electro-mechanical drum and music machines. They used to sound like Kraftwerk’s “We are the robots” played by funky Lego robot music machines.
To hear Maywa Denki’s “music” and interview, click on this Maywa Denki logo at Impress TV http://impress.tv/

“Parallel-world electricians”, Maywa Denki
Company motto: “Do it to conquer, Take it to conquer.”

MEIWA DENKI!
Also check out my friend in real-life “Captain Japan” who did an interview with the main Maywa Denki guy in Sake-Drenched Postcards - The Nonsense Machines of Maywa Denki
