Adam Anderson, Theo Hutchcraft, Hurts
Hailing from Manchester, Hurts came prepared on Saturday with some college-level Japanese phrases to pepper their set of dense, luscious electronic pop.
Was today's show your first in Japan?
Theo: First ever time. We arrived on Thursday, and it's just melting my mind. We've been looking forward to it all year, and already the experiences we've had have been insane. We met Jackie Chan in Roppongi and we talked to him about — you won't believe this — Joy Division. His favorite song is "Transmission." Adam: The people are amazingly respectful and have been very receptive to us.
