ROCK IN JAPAN FES. 2016 Performing Artists (1–10)
When I Was A KingMONOEYES
It’s no exaggeration to say MONOEYES is the band with by far the most festival appearances this year.
They’re getting a lot of buzz as the band fronted by Takeshi Hosomi of ELLEGARDEN and the HIATUS.
At this year’s Rockin’ Japan, Hosomi is also performing with the HIATUS, so it’s a doubleheader for him.
Beyond that10-FEET
10-FEET is a three-piece rock band from Kyoto.
Their self-hosted outdoor festival, Kyoto Daisakusen, is a huge hit every year.
Their music overflows with kindness and carries a strength that lifts you up.
When people say songs give them energy, that’s exactly what their tracks do.
A 10-FEET live show truly feels like it washes your heart clean.
Black Market Blues9mm Parabellum Bullet
9mm Parabellum Bullet has gained popularity with songs that showcase their unique sense of style.
Black Market Blues is the song they performed when they first appeared on Music Station.
So even people who don’t know much about 9mm may have at least heard this one.
KARATEBABYMETAL
BABYMETAL, a fusion of metal and idol music that’s supported not only by idol fans but also by metal fans, is notably extremely popular overseas.
They’re also scheduled to appear at various festivals across Japan this year.
hologramNICO Touches the Walls
Speaking of NICO Touches the Walls, the image of “Te wo Tatake” is strong, but this song, like “Te wo Tatake,” was also used in a Calpis commercial.
As expected, they’re a band whose refreshing vocals and straightforward, catchy songs are truly appealing.
