Some Hyper Japan Events
Hyper Japan is set to kick-off at the end of the month on July 26th-28th and there are more and more events getting announced like these:
Let Us Entertain You! Introducing J-Music Stars VANIRU & Yanakiku
If you’re into J-music, or looking for a different sound, then HYPER JAPAN is a great place to become acquainted with some mega talented Japanese artists. Today we are delighted to announce two new duos who will be entertaining our visitors: broody goth inspired VANIRU, and sparky J-pop pair Yanakiku! VANIRU are the latest talents to emerge from the label that launched the career of visual kei legends Buck Tick- and if that’s not an endorsement of their cool credentials, then frankly we don’t know what is. If you prefer your music a bit more peppy, then Yanakiku are your girls. Channelling both mainstream and sub-cultural Japanese influences, these cool and quirky decora influenced songstresses have a unique perspective on the world. Along with their trademark catchy melodies and dance routines, this pair distinguish themselves from the rest of the J-pop crowd with their ‘Kimocos’- a totally original mashup of cosplay and kimono that’s sure to take the fashion world by storm!
