The Rodgerson
The Rodgerson is a soft rock, indie and soul band made up of six first year students from the Pop Jazz Conservatoire. The band is characterised by an emotional interpretation and dreamlike worlds that colour the songs with their own unique style. The floating and tender arrangements also include tight grooves and hard-hitting tunes, so you won’t be left cold either.
Listen and experience, The Rodgerson.

Japaninkatu
Japaninkatu is the band that brings the golden age of Japanese city pop to the stage as a living interpretation of a time that never disappeared.

Citypop is danceable Japanese pop music that combines 1980s Western musical influences such as funk, soft rock and soul with Japanese melody, aesthetics and rhythms.

Music journalist Yutaka Kimura has described the genre as “urban pop for an urban lifestyle” – and this is the vibe that Japan Street shares with audiences on every stage. You don’t need to understand Japanese to enjoy a Japaninkatu show! You just need to feel the rhythm and the vibe. Come and experience the magic of city pop live!
