In the third episode of the Tadaima series, director Issam Kechouri ventured to the izakayas of Hatagaya, a neighborhood within the Shibuya area of Tokyo. After meeting drummer and musician Masahito-san, a collaboration between the two artists was agreed. The resultant piece displays both the energy and passion that Issam witnessed before him, and speaks to the emotive concept of Tadaima; it is to be at home with one’s self and at home with another through art and music.

As one collaboration comes to an end, the Tadaima project goes on. With new locations to fall in love with, different individuals to inspire, and perhaps a different cocktail to be had, who will cross Issam's path next?
