J-rock Revolution

From May 25-26, former X JAPAN drummer and pianist Yoshiki will host a musical event that’s out of this world. The J-rock Revolution music festival will feature a slew of musical acts all on one stage at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. Taking the stage on May 25th are alice nine, Kagrra,, Miyavi, Duel Jewel, and Vidoll. The second night will feature performances by MUCC, girugamesh, Merry, and Déspairs Ray.

Anime Expo 2007, the biggest anime con in North America (Long Beach, CA), was on my agenda this year. Unfortunately, there’s a slim chance that I’ll be able to go to both J-rock Revolution and Anime Expo. Choosing will prove to be a difficult feat. It’s the battle of the pros and cons, but whatever I choose will definitely involve major sacrifices.

When all is said and done, this event is sure to deliver. I have no doubt that this will indeed mark a revolution in J-rock. Tickets go on sale on April 21st at 10:00 a.m. Their official site is scheduled to go live this Monday.
