SPECIAL ISSUE 02
Three years connecting SANIMYOK and Japan
SANIMYOK (สนิมหยก) is a band from Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. Its exchanges with Japan include the Thai “Kousui” collaboration with Eito, the Japanese “Free Bird” and shared performances around Japan. Announcements from 2024–2026 trace the band’s connections with Japanese musicians and venues.
“Year one, two and three” refers to the 2024–2026 collaborations with Eito. It does not mean SANIMYOK began or first visited Japan in 2024.
Five related stories combine yearly performances with a guide to the songs. Follow the yearly articles for cities and performers, or start with the song guide to listen.

QUICK ANSWERS
Japanese concerts and the band’s name
Are “Sunimuyokku” and “Sanimyok” the same band?
These are names for the same Chiang Mai band. Official announcements use SANIMYOK, its official YouTube uses SANIM YOK, and the Thai name is สนิมหยก.
Are the Eito and Jan concerts full-band tours?
The spring 2026 concerts in Tokyo, Yokohama and Nagoya were announced as Eito and Jan, a different line-up from the autumn Kyoto and Osaka shows. The year-three story treats spring and autumn separately.
Can I still book the 2026 concerts?
Every listed date had passed by 16 October 2026. For future shows, check the artists’ and organisers’ latest announcements.
