YOASOBI is hot off their first weekend of performances at Coachella. The festival has become a mainstay of California music for quite a while, and they've been bringing more and more Japanese acts.

Now, personally, I prefer solo shows over festivals. At a festival you're given anywhere between 30 minutes, maybe 60 at max, and that'd be a long set. It can feel a bit rushed and you're limited to how many songs you can do. I will admit festivals do allow you to see a bunch of acts in one weekend, and maybe discover new ones you hadn't seen before. A solo show, on the other hand, allows you to do what you want, set up as you want, and gives you a lot more flexibility and creative control. You can really go over the top.

YOASOBI at the Shrine Auditorium was exactly that. They pulled out the stops.

Night one of Coachella had the back to back combo of YOASOBI and Hatsune Miku. Coachella, out in the deserts of Indio, California, has been bringing over a number of Japanese talents for the past few years. Previous years have featured Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Perfume, Joji, Utada Hikaru, and more.

April is becoming a little crowded. We have SiM and Crystal Lake on tour, Babymetal with two dates in San Francisco, and now, YOASOBI.
