Penthouse ONE MAN LIVE TOUR “Balcony” at Zepp DiverCity [TOKYO]

Capturing the electrifying tour finale of Japan’s rising "City Soul" sensation, Penthouse ONE MAN LIVE TOUR "Balcony" chronicles the band’s milestone first headline tour across five cities. Filmed on June 19, 2023, at a sold-out Zepp DiverCity Tokyo, this concert film showcases the 6-piece ensemble—led by the twin-vocal powerhouse of Shintaro Namioka and Maho Oshima—delivering a sophisticated blend of funk, R&B, and J-Pop. The performance is elevated by a massive 16-member super-ensemble, featuring a brass horn section and a guest gospel choir exclusive to the Tokyo show. Fans are treated to the band’s signature "Cateen’s Time," a virtuoso segment spotlighting world-renowned pianist Hayato Sumino (aka Cateen) in intimate vocal-and-piano arrangements. From high-energy grooves like "Jukebox Driver" to the soulful heights of "Live in This Way," the film offers a definitive look at Penthouse’s evolution from University of Tokyo alumni to major-label stars.

Prince: Sign 'o' the Times

In 1987, to capitalize on his growing success in Europe, Prince toured extensively to promote the album of the same name and sales increased accordingly. However, the United States remained resistant to his latest album, and sales began to drop; it was at this point that Prince decided to film a live concert promoting the new material, for eventual distribution to theaters in America. Featuring the band that accompanied Prince on his 1987 Sign o' the Times Tour, including dancer Cat Glover, keyboardist Boni Boyer, bassist Levi Seacer, Jr., guitarist Miko Weaver, drummer Sheila E. and former member of The Revolution keyboardist Dr. Fink, the film sees the group perform live on stage (although "U Got the Look" is represented by its promotional music video).
