April is becoming a little crowded. We have SiM and Crystal Lake on tour, Babymetal with two dates in San Francisco, and now, YOASOBI.

Here I was, up late in Japan, and I saw something curious.  

A friend had posted a BABYMETAL/DethKlok show in San Francisco.  I hadn't heard anything about a stop in San Francisco.  Granted, BABYMETAL was going to perform at a festival in Las Vegas, but nothing else.  Dethklok would be on tour but skipping San Francisco (sadly a common thing for tours nowadays). The Babyklok tour had officially ended last year.  So what was this?

I just came back from LisAni this past weekend and I'm going back to Japan for more.

I find a lot of music through the YouTube algorithm. KILLT MELT LAND came on my radar a few months ago and I have been waiting for an opportunity to see the band live. When I found that some of their upcoming shows were going to be on favorable dates for me, I decided to make the dive.
