2 Weeks With DJ Kefir "Behind The Scenes" (DJ Kefirとの２週間。第１弾「撮影の裏側」)

I really did it! I really made DJ Kefir come to Japan!!! For those who don't know what I'm talking about, please go back to my blog posts and you will find about DJ Kefir!

A month and a half passed since he went back to Russia. Maybe the timing was perfect. Maybe all the connections I had made on the SNS worked. I still can't believe how I did all this but I planned his itinery, booked his gigs, made him work on a collaboration track with a Japanese singer, hiro:n, and did some video clip shooting. Not only I was his friend, but totally I was his manager, translator, and his tour guide!!! And guess what? This is the VERY FIRST time I've done this manager job! But I could not have done this without my family's understanding and all the people who supported me. So first I would like to express my deepest appreciation to them!!! THANK U!!!

Today I want to write about the PV shooting (Promotion Video / Video Clip) because I have heard from our promoter that the PV is nearing completion. Our plan is to release the collaboration track, together with the video clip. This poster you see on the left is made by DJ Kefir when he was here in Japan. The collaboration track is called "DJ KEFIR & hiro:n - Love is Everywhere".

This collaboration track was made through me, actually!))) I was JUST (ONLY) a translator and a messanger but DJ Kefir composed the music in Russia and hiro:n added the lyrics and sang. We went through many discussions but we succeeded in making the first collaboration track!!!! 

So, a little bit of "Behind the Scenes", so you can look forward to it!!!
The main location of the shooting took place in Zushi beach (Kanagawa prefecture) and in Yoyogi Park (Tokyo).  

I can only show you this photo of the Zushi beach video shooting. It was a very hot and humid day. But the water was a bit cold. DJ Kefir would not dare swim because of the coldness but from one incident and on, he just enjoyed himself in the water! Maybe you will find out what happened that made him swim when you actually see the video clip! So preapre yourself!!!)
There were so many people that day, and I could see eveybody, even the guys, staring at him because of his perfect figure! I'm sorry, I was one of them, too, haha...He also had a gig at this beach, organized by the Russian people. I will write about his gigs next time!


This photo was made by our promoter! This is DJ Kefir in Harajuku! On our way to Yoyogi park in Tokyo.













DJ Kefir gets Free Coffee at Yoyogi Park!



After the free coffee, DJ Kefir had to take a photo with this man! He didn't expect this, pretty much surprised, and could not even smile nor pose. I think he's homeless. Maybe he forgot how to smile...



 



All of a sudden, DJ Kefir was joining these people to play frisbee, as if they had known each other!!! 

So, everybody! This is DJ Kefir & hiro:n!!! We encountered some people from Ice Block Films. We had a little bit of a fun and exciting talk. They were generous enough to take photos of DJ Kefir & hiro:n! They are super! Thank you Ice Block Films!!!!

What I thought during the video shooting was that DJ Kefir was a very friendly, sociable person. He would go naturally into the group and people would accept him. He would give lots of ideas and suggestions to our promoter and cameraman. But he is always calm and peaceful. He follows his instincts and inspiration. He has some kind of power that attracts people. We all agreed to this one. There's something different about DJ Kefir....
