Im not sure who all the bands are unfortunately. I don't live in Tokyo anymore, but last year when I went to visit, the authorities had banned street lives there, which was so disappointing! I heard there was some incident that triggered a council reaction. Hopefully that's all changed! Sundays at Yoyogi park were always unforgettable

I'd like to go to this park! Do you have a longer clip of the funk-style band that plays at 0:49? Right before the jump roping.

Aaaw man! Could've hung out on the guys at 0:50 a bit^^. I like good jazzy sounds. And the guys on 2:10 & 2:15 sound pronominal! If I had the cash, I'd scoop those dudes up to do that very track for some anime's intro!^^

@bennels wtf? you are kidding right?

[bigmick142]

@netdoctor1 yes - its near by

[bigmick142]

@phyerboss - I like the guys at 2:15 too. Whenever I hear a song I like from an unknown group I simply type in some of the words from their songs into google. The lyrics are invariably somewhere on the web along with the name of the group. But not being Japanese I can't do this. If you find out who they are - tell me.

I think I have been to this park. Is this where the Olympic stadium is?

do you have a longer video of that first band? I would love to see more of them

[Bassman911]

I was there last year in may, and there weren't a ton of street performances, but it seems they have designated stages now. I saw the first band outside of a chain coffee shop (can't remember what chain though)

[Bassman911]

does anyone know who the first band is? I saw them outside of yoyogi park in may or june of 2009 and this is the first video I've seen with them in it
