“”I’m very excited to tour with rock legends, this tour will be gorgeous and I hope you enjoy the chemical reaction of these three bands! I really respect [Men At Work lead singer] Colin Hay and love the songs of Men at Work. I always sing their songs at karaoke because the melody lines are so fantastic! Toad The Wet Sprocket is also a very cool band. Their music touches my heart!” (Singer & guitarist Naoko Yamano)
