I met Asterism at Shibuya Cyclone - June 2023 - Ryan Mear Reacts

Here is a brief summary of our day going to Shibuya and seeing Asterism! It was a great day and we ended up meeting the band and got a picture with them too. Asterism were gracious and willing to have limited conversation even though we didn't speak japanese. Pohojisan explained where we came from and why we were there.
I wish there was more footage of the band and the meeting, but it happened so fast and it was so unexpected that by the time it was over I was like "Duh you idiot, that would have been a great time to get content!!"
Thanks so much for the support, I couldn't do this without the Patrons!

Thx a lot for all of these, Ryan. That's all i have to say on the matter in case i explode with envy.😌

[@raybl9295]

I had the privilege of watching them in NY this summer. I was the only one at the entry when they arrived the venue in the pm. Seeing them rounding the corner caught me by surprise. They looked like a junior high garage band. I was star stuck and caught speechless. I wound up fumbling for my camera and managed to catch a shot with Miyu and Halca entering the front doors. They were just awesome live. Wish them great things to come. They fully deserve to be bigger and more success with the hard work and talents.

Not jealous in the SLIGHTEST - honestly ! Honestly ! HONESTLY ! ( God I'm SO jealous ! 🤣) Think you may have stolen my bucket list with this trip 😉

[@BillHallisey]

Those young Japanese musicians DESERVE a lot more coverage. Thank you Ryan for introducing me to their music and for giving them some more coverage on your channel. YOU'RE THE MAN!!!

[@rickwagner-]

They are super nice people. I had the chance to meet them in 2019 when they played at a small club called Los Globos in L.A.

[@bw1342]

Thanks for this Ryan! They are very special! I spent a number of years working out of Yokohama and I'll always remember the intensity of Shinjuku (way, way before COVID), coming out of the Station and all your senses being assaulted, music blasting from every store, bright flashing neon colors, massive crowds sweeping you along, huge TV screens on the sides of buildings, just trying to survive walking down the sidewalk was exhausting and exhilarating at the same time! 😂 And congrats on 20K subs!!

[@Muzicman2112]

Asterism is a band I fully support! All three band members are outstanding musicians!! Hal-Ca is my favorite guitarist, I actually cried when I saw them in California, someday I’ll get my photo with them! Cool video Ryan

[@kicorse]

Thanks Ryan for promoting Asterism. They deserve all the success a musician can have.

[@UltraHD.7]

I want to meet my favorite guitarist in the world, too 🙂

[@anthonypowell6234]

I am so envious of your experience! Congratulations.

[@glenkelley6799]

Thanks Ryan. Still surprised at how tiny Asterism is and how awesome their music is.

[@patrickmagrady3563]

Great video. Asterism is a great band and they seem very friendly. I truly enjoy your visits to Japan,although I admit to being a bit envious. Good for you sir and hope all is well. You do a valuable service for us.Thank you.

[@MrDancingNemo]

I'm Japanese, and I'm glad that you were able to come over here and meet Asterism.

[@JuanSan66]

I hope they really achieve it. May they live happily off their music and may they continue to brighten our lives. I wish´em the best.

[@waterwalker9600]

Holy smokes man. How awesome is that !!

[@barrycounts490]

Asterism is amazing to me ! I'm a huge Jimi Hendrix fan and this group could play most of his songs just as well =) I like Hal-Ca's voice but i like Jimis' more ! They seem down to earth to me and i like them more now ! Thanks Ryan

[@davidtollefson8411]

Seeing them live is at the very top of my bucket list. You are so fortunate.

[@davidcampbellii6342]

Thank you so much for sharing the content, its absolutely incredible! So glad that you got to meet the band and spend a little time talking with them. AWESOME!🤘

[@paulpabloanderson6884]

I saw them last night 27th Sept 2023 Eggman Shibuya, very friendly and excited to see overseas fans. I didnt get chance to ask them for a photo, as they asked me first,😂 they also signed a CD and my customary Japan Flag, which I try to get as many bands to sign as I see. Great performance, I highly recommend them live to everyone. Thanks for the video Ryan 👍

[@Paul247to]

Thats awesome Ryan!!! such a great band! I've really enjoyed the vids from your Japan trip but just lemme say your narration sucks ;) lol My dream vacation is to visit Japan and hit every little nook and cranny club i can find and enjoy awesome music. Heads up for everyone...you can pre order Asterism's new mini album "Decide" from CD Japan and if you order soon it will be hand autographed. album is released on Nov 1st Thanks Ryan as always i really enjoy your content. cheers

[@puffdadico6063]

Damn, a great footage!! Want more!! Hope to catch up with you in Tokyo as well!! How about the craft beers??

[@810RockJapan]

Thank you Ryan for an interesting show report! I'm so glad you seemed really enjoyed Japan. As you know, in most ASTERISM gigs(all!?), it's OK to take pics or videos. That's very nice thing for Japanese music fans. Because taking pics and recording video and audio are prohibited in most concerts in Japan. I always feel sorry for that.

[@noahtomato3515]

Thanks for sharing this. I’m new to Asterism but it’s clear they have a lot of promise. I guess they have salaries if they’re on Sony? Hope the label supports them to develop in terms of composition and really finding their voice over a few more albums at least.

[@sixtofive]

What an awesome experience!

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

Thanks for sharing, Ryan, and congrats on meeting Asterism! Haruka always seemed short even among other Japanese women.

[@Prophet12]

Fantastic memories Ryan! Thank you for sharing.

[@mattl1826]

Great video! It got me excited for Japan trip in November. At the Band-Maid show in Chicago I told you I was trying to get tickets to see Asterism on my trip. I was able to get both tickets I wanted, on the 12th and 23rd! I didn’t release until I watched this video the 11/23 show is at the same venue as your show.

[@RyanMear]

Awesome, have a great trip!!

[@me262a1]

That's cool. I ordered their new CD that comes with a signed card or something. I watched a vid of them playing on the street in California and folks were just walking by. Oh well, different strokes I guess.

[@yakidin63]

Japan and Tokyo is just so good. I went to 3 cities and I think it was day 10 till I saw some rubbish on the side of the road. For a place with no bins in the streets it’s just so clean. No graffiti no druggies on every corner and no homeless beggars. With the best music and bands.🤘🇯🇵🤘

[@ericifune5543]

How'd you like the Cyclone as a venue? I'm seeing them in Fukuoka and again at the Cyclone in November.

[@RyanMear]

It's a small place but it was cool👍 Expect it to be LOUD

[@mattl1826]

I’m going to both of those shows as well! I can’t wait!

Asterism belongs to the same major entertainment agency, Amuse, as BABYMETAL. It is famous for the band Southern All Stars. The band is the most famous band in Japan, having the No.1 album sales in 1980's, 1990's, 2000's, 2010's, and 2020's respectively. It can be said that the band is known by all ages of Japanese. However, there are few other band affiliations. (ONE OK ROCK was affiliated until 2021). BABYMETAL is a kind of accidental hit that Kobametal, who was in charge of idols, started it as a personal hobby, and the agency is not good at metal activities. The reason why Asterism belonged to such Amuse may be that they plan to eventually get involved with BABYMETAL.
