A Visual Roadbook by Steff Astan Steff the crazy motherf*cker guy from Germany who did bring a lot of Japanese bands to Europe, mainly to Germany. However also other countries such as France, Netherlands and Poland. The tours where always crazy; less “free time” and crazy on the road to be on time for the next gig or getting an airplane. Steff describes every event in his own words, from what he remembers; Most things are written different from the truth, but it's still very near the truth and some stories are also mega funny. You also will learn why he and Kiwamu have such good relationship and how bands sometimes break their own ROAD to FAME. Steff even did tour with Korean pop bands, who didn't differ much from the Japanese bands. Sushi & Stromgitarre is a book you should read if you visited a lot of Steff concerts or if you simply want to read a story of a person who did tour a lot with Japanese rock bands. However, there is one problem, you should be able to understand German on a high level to understand this book. The book isn’t written in little kiddo’s language, well it’s actually a book for adults, because yes also the topic “porno” in Japan and “Drugs” in Japan have their own topics in the book. Sometimes Steff words are a bit chaotic written, going from a topic to a different topic, not mention all Staff and then suddenly a Staff name plops up out of nothing. And such of vague “need to read the sentence again” feelings happen while reading it. If you didn’t bought the book yet, here is a preview of the book. It’s the price worth and you will laugh a lot while reading this book. My review of the book will be in parts and the start of my review will be the Kiwamu story followed by a few other favorites. I will tell you in short about what Steff wrote - But I will write that in a different part... For now please enjoy the trailer of the book - © 2017 by Verlag Stefan Mensing Erstauflage (limitierte Photobuch-Edition) Hardcover Full color 204 page Size: 21×21 Language: German Official Facebook Official Instagram Official website
