Les Romanesques x Tomomi Asuka

Western pop and enka, the Japanese traditional ballad, will come together in this most unexpected of collaborations. Les Romanesques, a Japanese duo formed in Paris in 2011, will attempt to meld their music into the slow sounds of enka singer Tomomi Asuka. And it is not only the music that will present a drastic contrast. Les Romanesques, known for their gaudy colourful costumes, will present quite a visual punch next to the kimono-clad Asuka, who is known for her efforts to preserve local traditions in contemporary Japan.
