We are almost to the beginning of Lovebites' US tour. This is a long-awaited series of performances, and in a way, it's surprising that it took this long. One of my good friends saw them when they were just starting out and told me they would be big. They've traveled across the world and played at many places in Europe, but never quite made it to the States. It is finally time to fix that.

SiM, who we last saw live at Crunchyroll Expo in 2022, is embarking on a world tour in support of their latest album, the PLAYDEAD World Tour.  They'll be spanning the United States starting on April 19 in Seattle, WA, and ending on May 24 in Boston, MA.

ClariS, the renowned vocal duo, unveiled their latest single, "Andante", available for download and streaming today. This track serves as the ending theme song for the highly-anticipated new anime adaptation of Spice and Wolf, airing its first episode on the same day. "Andante," meaning "a walking pace" in musical terms, aptly captures the essence of the anime with its comfortable tempo and emotive contrasts.

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?
