DESCRIPTION:The funky\, whimsically irreverent Japanese expats <strong>Miho
  Hatori</strong> (vocals\, drum pad) and <strong>Yuka Honda</strong> (keyb
 oard\, sampler) return to Japan Society&rsquo\;s stage this time as <stron
 g>Cibo Matto</strong> !  Since officially reuniting earlier this year\, th
 ese NY downtown  darlings are back and better than ever\, with their charm
 ing lyrics often  referencing food and a dizzying array of sounds influenc
 ed by  everything from hip-hop\, jazz and rock to African and Brazilian be
 ats.  Straight from Tokyo\, this evening also features the international d
 ebut  of the silky-voiced keyboardist/singer-songwriter <strong>Yu Sakai <
 /strong> (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/YuSakaiOfficial?sk=app_13600586
 9798458" target="_blank">Visit Yu Sakai's facebook page</a> ).  With R&amp
 \;B beats and jazz-fused j-pop melodies\, Sakai&rsquo\;s music is an  inve
 ntive blend of self-mixed instrumentation and multi-layered vocals.  Sakai
  became an overnight sensation in Japan\, breaking radio charts  after rel
 easing his first single in 2009 and winning iTunes&rsquo\; 2010 Best  J-Po
 p Album of the year award with his debut album. Downtown New York  collide
 s with modish Shibuya in this one-night-only J-music mash-up. \n \n Cash b
