Well then, here I am.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to finish editing all my photos tonight. One of my suitcases busted and I had to repack half my stuff for my flight to Japan which is in…5 and a half hours. I hope I can get the rest up soon, I’ll finish editing on the plane. Here’s sample though!

Oh look here’s another write up about Lilac by me. This is the third time that I’ve written about them playing in less than a year. Though, probably the last since I’m wandering over to Tokyo for a while. Why do I like them? Aside from them being very good and electric on-stage they are [...]

So I leave for Japan in about two months, and I can’t help but think about the concerts I could potentially go to. I’ll have to limit the shows I go to due to budget limitations obviously, so if I had to pick 10 bands to see in the 5 months I’ll be there they [...]

After Lilac and Typherus had played at J Summit, most of the Visual Kei/Jrock crowd that was there left and wandered over to the legendary punk and alternative street; St. Marks Place. It was just a few blocks away and since its been partially taken over by Japanese restaurants and stores it was as good [...]
The first Tokyo Fashion Festa in February was a huge success. Say what you will about the show favoring Sweet Lolita too much, but the place was packed and attracted media that normally is oblivious to the East Cost J-scene.
On June 6th Indivisual is bringing back Fashion Festa for two events during NYC’s “Japan [...]
Newcomer event organizers Zutto Entertainment have put together an event that might just be the event of the summer for the East Coast Jrock community even with the upcoming Miyavi tour. On June 13th Lilac, Kazha, [geist], Gelatine, and Typherus will come together for “Deatharmonic” at Crash Mansion in NYC.
Don’t let the name scare [...]
Of the bands that have come out of the East Coast with a Japanese influence, the one that I’m most excited about right now has to be Lilac. They haven’t been around that long, and they recently underwent a major lineup change(Gabriel recently joined on bass) , but it’s hard to deny that fact that [...]
I’ve had my doubts recently as to if there can ever be a real Japanese/ Japanese influenced scene on the east coast. Yes, there are the occasional big name Jrock/Vkei concerts here but can you really have a scene based on only a handful(on a good year) of concerts a year? That doesn’t sound like [...]
Sanspo confirms that X Japan will play Nissan Stadium in Yokohama. Further info pending.
You guys can expect a concert report from me if this indeed takes place.

There was talk that the show was to take place in the 14,000 seat First Mariner Arena, it was a bit of a disappointment when Saturday afternoon’s Kanon Wakeshima concert (with [geist] opening) was scheduled in “Hall D” in the Baltimore Convention Center. Its certainly an OK [...]
