REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA – Depapepe, acoustic jazz musicians from Japan, also performed at Java Jazz Festival (JJF) 2012. The group came to Indonesia to greet their fans. It was for the second time for Depapepe, Miura Takuya (29 years) and Toluoka Yoshinari (35 years), to come to Indonesia. They performed at Java Soulnation on the last September.
The Band which formed in 2002 successfully fascinated the audiences at JJF. After playing several songs, Miura Takuya surprised the audience by introducing himself in bahasa Indonesia. “Hai Indonesia perkenalkan nama saya Miura Takuya dan Tokuoka Yoshinari, kami senang kembali ke Jakarta (Hai Indonesia. I am Miura Takuya and Tokuoka Yoshinari. So glad to come back to Jakarta),” he said followed by audience’s burst of cheer.
Miura said Depapepe was very proud to come to Indonesia, especially in Java Jazz Festival. “Let’s enjoy the show tonight,” Miuro shouted.
The audience is lulled with soft symphony from their songs, 'Sakura Mau', 'Koi Mizu', 'Kitto Mata Itsuka', 'Spur', 'Aishu Violet', and 'Rosy'. Miura, tried to communicate with the audience. He said, “Are you having fun? I want to try to speak bahasa. Album kami sudah ada di Indonesia. Jangan lupa beli CD kami ya. Kami cinta kamu semua. (Our album is sold in Indonesia. Don’t forget to buy our CD. We love you all.”
While Tokuoka Yoshinari was only smiling to the audience. The duo only played for an hour. The enthusiastic audience seems disappointed when the group ended their performance. It was obvious, one hour would not be enough!
