Concert at Japan Society October 29, 2015
Performed by Charan-Po-Rantan
Charan-Po-Rantan is an “alternative chanson” sister unit comprising Momo (22) on vocals and her older sister Koharu (26) on accordion. The duo’s music is an eclectic melting pot of French chanson, gypsy music and retro 50s-60s J-pop with a pinch of Russian melancholy, all mixed together with a modern twist. Lyrics are replete with wit and black humor, a surprising contrast to their colorful, eye-catching outfits which are all designed by Koharu and handmade by the sisters’ mother and grandmother.

Since Charan-Po-Rantan’s inception in 2009, the duo has performed everywhere from street corners, to the legendary Nippon Budokan, in addition to gigs in Canada, Taiwan, South by Southwest (Austin, Texas) and twice at Japan’s famed Fuji Rock Festival, where they were named one of the best acts of the festival.

To date, the duo has released six albums and five single albums. In July 2014, the band made their major label debut from Avex Japan and their latest single “Mebiusu no Ikidomari” (The End of the Mobius Strip) will be released in November 2015. This band has appeared on educational programs on NHK and had their own radio show on a major FM station, Bay FM. In addition, the duo has appeared in the indie film, “Tobenai Tori To Merry Go Round,” for which they also penned the soundtrack and theme song for, and also musically directed the theater production, “TUTORIALIST” for one of Japan’s most popular comedians, Tutorial.
