Performance

Mimicking Mars

1 upcoming performance in New York

At Bowery Palace, the other “Mimicking Mars” lands in New York as a rock/pop bill built around Riko Ishino’s shifting musical life. Raised in Hiroshima Prefecture and working under SML Management, Ishino moved from idol group work to band-fronting roles with Akai Ko-en and Aooo, carrying pop discipline into louder forms. She shares the night with Whaler Collective, where ensemble playing reframes her voice as an instrument inside the arrangement. It reads as a small document of how Japanese pop and rock lineages now circulate through NYC rooms.
