salyu × salyu – s(o)un(d)beams+ (2012)

Overview

J-Pop singer Salyu and avant-garde Japanese pop icon Cornelius perform under their alias, salyu x salyu, for a 2011 concert at the Yokosuka Metropolitan Theatre, backed by a trio of singers (the salyu sisters) and a live band. The proceedings remain tightly focused on the "vocal acrobatica" delivered by Salyu's quartet against the backdrop of Cornelius's intricate psychedelic jazz-pop arrangements, with little extraneous stage craft required to hold the audience captivated. Several music videos round out the DVD contents.
