It’s getting colder and colder! But don’t think the cold will keep the music away. Miyavi’s added a few shows to his tour, including an appearance at PMX. This means this year’s PMX will have a very bright line-up with him, Uchuusentai NOIZ, and Takuya Angel. Also check out the indies band, MARBLE SHEEP, on their short US tour.
In addition, we here at JRock Events (USA) have FINALLY gotten a Twitter account! That’s right, we stopped having Twitter issues long enough to create an account! You can check it out @jrockeventsusa. Follow us to find out what’s new on JRock Events (USA), from new tour dates, to new articles, and our various musings.

Last month, as we mentioned before, the JRock community lost Jasmine You, bassist of Versailles ~Philharmonic Quintet~. Many fans banded together to mourn his passing–we were touched by this and decided to do our own spotlight on Jasmine You–and the love shown as fans rallied together.

And finally, during her recent trip to Japan, our west coast representative, Sarah, visited a few “themed” izakayas (Japanese bars), and did a review on Christon Café in Tokyo. You can read that here.
