B GALLERY will be holding a solo exhibition by musician Kenichi Asai for the second time in two years. This exhibition, titled "The Smell of Space," features poems written over the past 27 years from the legendary band BLANKEY JET CITY to the currently-starting Kenichi Asai & THE INTERCHANGE KILLS, as well as diaries containing daily thoughts and new works. This exhibition commemorates the publication of the poetry collection Diary & Stories ``The Smell of the Universe,'' which is a collection of poems.
The words and imaginative stories written while continuing his music activities on the front lines as one of Japan's leading rock'n'roll musicians remind us of something important as we live in a rapidly changing world. I'm sure they'll let you. Please look forward to Kenichi Asai's latest exhibition.
