Tomoyoshi Date and Stijn Hüwels met for the first time in 2015 in Tokyo, introduced to each other by Chihei Hatakeyama. That same evening, they recorded what would later become Hochu-Ekki-Tou, their first album, released on Home Normal in 2019.
They teamed up again in 2020 for Tōki hi, Tōki kumo, their second album, which was released in 2021 on Laaps. Now, both artists will meet again in person in Berlin for the first time since 2015. They will do a two-day residency, starting with a studio session on November 14th, followed by a concert on November 15th.
