A(Ace) Bring the Party Ship to Hamburg’s HEADCRASH

by Sarah Jones, Sarah-Marie Frerichmann, posted July 22, 2012

The day the good ship A(Ace) came to Hamburg, the carnival of the Schlagermove was also in town. The Reeperbahn was full of rambunctious crowds, making merry with bright colored clothing and free flowing beer. It was a perfect day for a trio of Pirates to play and entertain their own crowd with color and fantastic music amid the Absolute Conquest of Europe tour.

Sarah began her journey into the world of Japanese music courtesy of L'Arc-en-Ciel back in the year 2000. Since then, she has combined a love of music and music journalism into writing for European Japanese music magazines and assisting with Japanese interest events in the UK. After graduating in Law from the University of Nottingham, she put 'the law-thing' on the backburner to dive into the live scene in Tokyo for 3 years. Sarah returned to the UK in September 2010 to do that 'law-thing' and now works for a Japanese bank in London. Her heart is always in the music and fashion in Tokyo and her life is balanced between her time in the UK and Japan. When she has time, she also blogs at http://lifeismerodii.blogspot.com

Sarah-Marie discovered her interest for Japan when she was a child when her father told her about samurai, the zen philosophy, and Wabi-Sabi. When the manga and Pokémon hype started in Germany, she became even more interested, but it was until 2006 that the band DIR EN GREY caught her attention and Japanese music became the best thing she ever listened to. In 2008 she travelled to Japan and lived in Tokyo, where she attended several visual kei acts. Back in Germany, she started to study music management in Hamburg with the intention to work especially with Japanese bands in her future. Today, she finished her study and started a gap year in Philosophy and History at university Bremen.
