Music (225)

Out of nowhere, NEMOPHILA has just announced a new live concert date in the United States.  Los Angeles' storied Whisky A Go Go will now be the venue of their first American performance.

Now, you could file this one under K-Pop, but Korean girl group Dreamcatcher just announced their second world tour, and in particular for us, the dates for the United States leg.  The tour is called "Apocalypse: Save Us," which is also the name of their latest album.

Earlier today, the 88rising music label posted something big on Twitter.  Hikaru Utada will perform as part of their Coachella lineup.

So, it's Coachella again. Like many other things, it's been a couple of years since it's been held in person. People are feeling comfortable getting out there again, and that includes Japanese musicians. The legendary Kyary Pamyu Pamyu will be in America at Coachella, all the way in Indio, CA.

You'll notice that it's actually titled "SCANDAL WORLD TOUR 2020 'Kiss from the darkness'," and that's not a joke. This was supposed to happen two years ago.  Fingers crossed, it'll actually happen this year.

 

This is just a quick one with a bit of info that are relevant for those of you who love Japanese rock: Band-Maid and Nemophila have been announced for Aftershock Festival 2022 in Sacramento.
