Creator April Frazier on February 27, 2012
Just bought tickets to see you in Houston! Can't wait :)
Creator Kishi Bashi on February 25, 2012
henrik,
i'll be opening as Kishi Bashi as well :). sorry don't know what to do about the age thing :(
Creator Henrik Stokken on February 23, 2012
Hi K!
I saw you were coming to Oslo with of Montreal, and I was about to order tickets when I saw that the show were 18+ age limit.
I'm only 15 years old, will the age limit stay that way? :I
Also. Will you play your Kishi Bashi songs there, or only the of Montreal songs? :)
Creator Susanna on February 8, 2012
Haha. Well, I guess it's better than nothing, but without opening act is definitely left on the :( side.
Creator Kishi Bashi on February 3, 2012
hey suzanna! I'll be in helsinki with of Montreal but not opening up as Kishi Bashi. :) or :(?
Creator Susanna on February 2, 2012
Hi! Just wondering are you coming to play in Helsinki (16th april) with of Montreal? Would be awesome to see you live as well :)
Creator Kishi Bashi on December 31, 2011
thanks allison. i like the light leaks alot too. I went with the second one but it was a difficult decision.
Creator Allison on December 30, 2011
Oh, lord, I got my versions all mixed up. Here is the correct comment:
The one where the tiger's nose does not have white under it.
The light rays leaking into the top of the border is a bit ambiguous, still.
Just my two cents!
Creator Allison on December 30, 2011
I prefer the top one, without white under the tiger's nose. I think leaving space under the nose makes the tiger look like it has an elephant trunk or something. (Or maybe that's just me.) Also, I think the solid border looks better than the bottom picture, because in that one the little white light rays are leaking into the border juust a little bit...which seems like it might be a glitch
Creator Ani Munoz on December 29, 2011
Definitely option A Lines Exposed. Gorgeous work!
Creator Laura Kapsha on December 29, 2011
Since you actually asked, I like the first one, (the lines exposed). I felt that the tiger was actually floating through a cloud, a very nice image for me, but what do I know?
Creator Anne Keeley on December 29, 2011
I love the covers. My favourite is the one with the lines exposed at the bottom, I think it's more interesting to look at, but they both look good. Keep up the great work, I'm so excited to see the finished product :-) x
Creator Melissa Bisagni on December 29, 2011
In my humble opinion, the cropped image = jyozu! It feels more immediate. Difinitive.
Creator Cam Linh on December 26, 2011
Congratulations Kishi, i look forward to see you in Paris. :)
Creator Henrik Stokken on December 23, 2011
It's awesome that you made it! :)
I hope you will come to Norway and play for us here! :)
Merry Christmas!
Creator Kishi Bashi on December 23, 2011
see you guys there!
Creator Rochelle Woodard on December 23, 2011
Hey K! have a fantastic holiday! Just got our tix for your show in DC with Of Montreal! Am bringing new people to experience your sound. Looking forward to all! Happy New Year - Rochelle
Creator Kishi Bashi on December 22, 2011
Thanks everyone! I'll be posting tons of "special" stuff for you backers, so stay in touch!
no problem Matthew! Can you just message me his/her name?
Creator Matthew Bisenius on December 21, 2011
Congratulations for blowing your goal out of the water. I backed your project as a gift for someone special; is it possible I can get someone else's name on the thank you note and song? Will that be on the survey later? Thanks!
Creator Thomas Brandenburg on December 21, 2011
Love your music, man. Thanks for coming out to Knoxville last year. Great music rarely comes this way and your performance was phenomenal, even if you accidentally erased your loop. Haha.
Creator Lola Mullen on December 21, 2011
Woot! I have my own project funding through Sunday! Congrats...amazing job on your goal, K. See you in the spring in DC!
xo, lola

Creator Melissa Fagan on December 16, 2011

Creator Kishi Bashi on December 13, 2011
thanks! @gabriel: it's trickled all throughout the album. i think you'll find it interesting at the least :)
@arrison : you gonna listen to it through through your expensive speakers?
@emily: south in my sights for 2012
Creator Gabriel Durham on December 13, 2011
I saw you at a Dallas of Montreal show and I finally found out who you are! I love your music! It is a wonderful melding of many genre I adore. Also I am an Anthropologist with a focus on Japan and your words about using Japanese as a rhythm device is exactly how I see the language! That use alone in Bright Whites just tickled my soul! I am so excited to see the rest of your work!
Creator Elizabeth Rahn on December 13, 2011
I learned about you through Deerhoof. I have listened to and love your music! I love the idea of this site and I can't wait to hear the album!
Creator Arrison Kirby on December 12, 2011
absolutely psyched about the vinyl! yes!
Creator Emily Michelle on December 12, 2011
