"Please give them a warm welcome." Japanese audiences are so subdued, which is why when these bands get a chance to play overseas, they are happily surprised at the wild enthusiasm that the audiences show for them. I do not understand how an audience can sit on its hands for a band like the Wasedas. What always impresses me about this band is that their trumpet and trombone sections play quite well and powerfully, and they play interesting variations on familiar songs. It keeps the shows fresh and lively.
