Join Ruben VM on a musical voyage on life as a “gaijin”, or foreigner, in this wonderful—and often confusing—country. Gaijin Seat Shanties is an anthology of songs that explore Japan from all angles, in the form of upbeat tunes 500and catchy hooks.

Ruben VM is Japan’s only English-language musical comedian, having honed his craft for over a decade, performing in both English and Japanese around the country, and even being crowned Japan’s top minority comedian in 2020 on NHK’s Baribari Show-1, beating out a schizophrenic, a quadriplegic, and a troupe of legally deaf comedians to prove that in Japan, even a straight white guy can overcome societal barriers. He is a multi-instrumentalist and multi-media comedian that is sure to entertain and make you appreciate Japan in a much more nuanced way.
