As the clock hit nine, the lights began to dim at the House of Blues Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, . Glay members Teru, Takuro, Hisashi, and Jiro walked onto stage, the crowd erupted into cheers and applause. Without any introduction, the band began to play "Great Vacation" and "Yuuwaku" to cheering fans, who threw up their arms in unison with the song.
For J-rock fans, Glay will be performing in San Francisco on Wednesday September 9 at the Fillmore, and in Los Angeles from Friday September 11 to 12 at the House of Blues Sunset Strip. The band was formed in 1988 and still a huge hit in Japan today. Full press release and information inside.

Odd way to start my first blog here at t-ono.net, but the BoA concert was awesome! I did feel sorry for a lot of the fans, I believe the event was originally scheduled around 4-4:30PM but due to complications her performance didn't start until around 5:15PM or so. We were outside her tent for most of the time as she was ready to go. Unfortunately due to the usual mix up that a lot of event organizers end up having, our request for an interview with BoA did not go through but we did get in touch with BoA's people.
We'll try to set something up for the future, but rumor has it that BoA may be doing a few more American promotions and quite possibly return to San Francisco in the next few months. Again, this is just media rumor and speculation so take it for what it's worth. We'll let you know immediately we get any more updates on BoA, but again it is 5:54AM right now and I'm about to head down to LA to prepare for Anime Expo coverage!
For those of you in the Bay Area next weekend, Korean pop singer BoA will be on the Main Stage on Sunday, June 28 for the SF Pride Event. BoA is well known in Asia and has made significant impact in the Japanese music scene. BoA has been slowly entering the American music industry since last year in October with her single "Eat You Up" as well as her American debut album "BoA"released this year on March 17.
