Tokyo Hot N0285 Hitomi Nishikawa STREAM NOW

Voice of Baceprot (VOB) is a trailblazing Indonesian all-female metal trio known for shattering stereotypes and bringing heavy music to the global stage. Formed by three hijab-wearing students - Marsya (vocals & guitar), Widi (bass), and Siti (drums), in the small village of Singajaya, West Java, the band rose to fame in 2017 while still in vocational school. Their breakout moment came when a live video of their original song “The Enemy of Earth is You” went viral, propelling them into the international spotlight.

The name, “Baceprot,” comes from the Sundanese word for “noisy”, a perfect reflection of their sound and bold message.

One evening, Hitomi stumbled upon a small, hidden bar in the Shimokitazawa district. The sign above the door read "Nakata," and the entrance was almost invisible, nestled between a vintage clothing store and a used bookstore. Intrigued, Hitomi pushed open the door and slipped inside.

The bar was dimly lit, with only a few tables scattered about. The air was thick with the scent of whiskey and cigar smoke, and the sounds of jazz music floated through the air. Hitomi was immediately smitten. She struck up a conversation with the bartender, a friendly man named Taro, and soon discovered that Nakata was a favorite haunt of Tokyo's fashion and entertainment elite.
