At the end of 2023, Elephant Gym embarked on a year-long world tour, performing 60 shows across 23 countries. The tour featured sold-out performances in cities such as New York, Tokyo, Paris, and Santiago, Chile. The enthusiastic response from fans around the globe and the diverse audience reactions to the performances left a lasting impression on the band.
Elephant Gym has curated a selection of live recordings culled from select performances across four continents during this tour. Through these recordings, the band hopes to share with listeners the unique atmosphere of each respective city’s live performance. These continent-specific live recordings will be released as a series of EPs throughout 2025, culminating in a complete live album.
The second installment, Live in THE WORLD - Japan, documents a landmark performance at Spotify O-EAST in Shibuya, a venue revered by many Japanese musicians. The event marked Elephant Gym’s first solo concert at this iconic venue and drew a sold-out crowd of over a thousand, a deeply meaningful milestone for this trio of musicians who have long been influenced by Japanese music culture.
This EP features four tracks, including a live rendition of “Feather” in collaboration with Japanese multi-instrumentalist/singer TENDRE. It also includes a powerful arrangement of the classic “Galaxy”, performed with brass quartet ZOO-MIN-SHA, led by renowned saxophonist Konishi Ryo, whose work spans both the pop and indie music scenes in Japan. The recording captures the emotional intensity of Elephant Gym's triumphant moment on one of Japan’s most celebrated stages.
