There is a planetarium show called "Music Planet - Satellite Odyssey" currently being held
at the Katsushika Planetarium, Tokyo which features music from Oblivion With Bells. The
show is being held every Saturday and Sunday from July 25th to November 29th.
The link to the museum web site is at
www.darktrain.jp. There is no direct link to
the page about the "Music Planet" show, so you have to wade through a couple of pages of
Japanese to find it!
Today, I went to the show with my fellow Underworld comrades Shingo and Chino. At first
I didn`t know what to expect, and I figured that it was going to be something along the lines
of a music/laser show. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was, in fact,
a traditional planetarium show presented alongside popular songs from OWB.
There was a traditional narrator who spent a few minutes talking about the planets, pointing
out various constellations, etc... After that, a series of CG movies/slides covering various
planets and their satellites were projected on the screen accompanied by the music of
Underworld. The songs used in the show were Glam Bucket (Moon), Crocodile (Jupiter),
Beautiful Burnout (Jupiter`s moons), Holding The Moth (Saturn/moons), and Best Mamgu
Ever (Mars). Occasionally the narrator would lower the volume a little and come back in to
say a few things, but even then the music served as a nice background to her presentation.
Overall, I though it was nicely done!
