Sublime and Jun Miyake: A French living in Japan and a Japanese living in France. Each of them bring one’s own world: on one side, the command of acoustic and electronic sounds, on the other, realist though sparkling lyrics. Sublime also expresses her multiple talents through street performances, theatrical collaborations — acting and stage direction. She is also on the field of art performance with the art painter Keeda Oikawa, who did the jacket of “Ludic’”, and who is a central figure of the artists collective Tokyo Art & Groove.
