ANIME MESSE BABELSBERG 2025: THE SPIRIT MEETS KOIAI

THE SPIRIT, aka MARC HAIRAPETIAN, meets the amazing Japanese metal jazz (!!) prog pop band KOIAI (emerged from THE LI-SA X BAND).
I did a film interview with KOIAI for my culture magazine SPIRIT - A SMILE IN THE STORM https://spirit-fanzine.de and my YouTube channel THE SPIRIT MEETS    / @thespiritmeets9388   before their incredible concert at Volcano Area (FILMPARK BABELSBERG). On the left beside me is founder and guitarist LI-SA-X, on the right is co founder and second guitarist HAZUKI and beside her the drummer KANADE SATO. The blonde girls support them: One is bass player WAKAZAEMON (in general on tour with MARTY FRIEDMAN), the other singer NENE (in general singer of WHIMSY).
LI-SA-X plays guitar since she is five. Now she is just 20 and a real master of her craft! One of her role models is POLYPHIA. Arigato, sweet and talented young ladies! Good luck for your world tour! Thank you also to KOIAIS' manager ISSEI AMBO from INTERSTELLAR PRODUCTION and the German RIOT ROCK BOOKING agent MARC MÜHLENBRINK.
Please read also my critical article about the ANIME MESSE BABELSBERG (ANIME FAIRY BABELSBERG) 2025 for daily newspaper JUNGE WELT: https://www.jungewelt.de/artikel/5039...
YOUR ADVISORY BOARD and KOIAI were the big positive exceptions and I named it.
