Amber Bain, otherwise known as The Japanese House, kicked off her first US tour in almost four years at Philadelphia’s Union Transfer. Amber and the band played to a packed house of very eager fans who have been anxiously awaiting Japanese House's return to the stage. This latest tour is in support of The Japanese House's latest album (and one of my personal favorites of this year) In The End It Always Does, Bain’s first album since 2019.

The set was everything we wanted, including the latest tracks off the newest album, and all the bops we’ve come to love from Bain over the years. Included in the flawless set was a touching dedication of “One for sorrow, two for Joni Jones”, for her dog who was sitting back in the greenroom during the set.
