His name is Shon-Shon; he is a Japanese boy clown. He doesn't know many words. All he knows is "I LOVE YOU". 

He wants to learn new words. If he could learn a new word, he would use his imagination to create a story with it. He needs your help to do that. Please give him the words. He will return them with love. 

OSHOW is visiting from Tokyo, traveling through on a brief US tour, bringing his internationally touring 1-man clown show to The Backline's stage! He'll also be joined by some local acts, more info coming soon!
