Street performers guide

Hi,
I went to Tokyo last year and there were some different street performing artists in Shibuya and near Shimbashi station. I remember someone with a saxophone and a girl singing, but I forgot to take a picture or note their names. Would be cool to know whom these and other artists were as I found their music to be quite good.

I suppose there is no list or something for local street performers? Not sure what it is called in Japan, so I have not been able to find out myself.

We simply call them "street musician ストリートミュージシャン". You should've picked up a card or a CD. They usually do social media. Here is a quick Google image search on "street musician shibuya sax".

Much appreciated. Thank you for the information :)

Knowing the word "Street musician" made things a lot easier.

You might be thinking of Chindon'ya. These are small (maybe 3 people) "marching" bands wearing traditional Japanese costumes. Maybe a sax, drum, and one other instrument. They are hired to promote new businesses opening, or some other event. Look them up on Google.

But chindonyas don't sing.
