Welcome to Season 2 of “Top 5 Records” where music-loving pals and DJs Michael Warren, “bemsha” (Tatsuo Fukutomi), and “Zebrio” Brian Scott Peterson, invite their friends to an afternoon and evening of playing records and counting down their Top 5 Records on various themes!

The Season 2 – Episode 4 theme is “The Color of Music” – songs and albums that relate to color! It will be up to our DJ’s to share how they interpret “The Color of Music”, whether that be “Songs with Color in the Title”, “Songs about the Color Blue” “Albums Covers that feature Rainbows”, “The most colorful artists of my collection”, and so on.

This will be our 4th LIVE and IN-PERSON version of Top 5 Records, and we are happy to announce that we’ll be joined by TWO special guest DJ’s: “Asano Michael” of Record Blog (@record_blog) and Mike Wasabi from Sweden (@docmikewasabi)! Our Talk Show broadcast will be sandwiched by 4 sets of music! 

Join us Saturday, September 23rd, 4pm-9pm at Talking Gorilla in Shimokitazawa Station and celebrate the Color of Music!!
