vistlip have been on the scene for quite some time already, long enough to celebrate their 10th anniversary this year. The group is quite popular both in Japan and overseas, which persuaded them to “strengthen their communication overseas”. “Since our early days we’ve had fans abroad and I feel that they’ve been greatly supporting us. That’s why we would like to widen our circle, so please support us!” – vocalist 智 (Tomo)
While there currently are no plans for an overseas tour, offers from overseas will definitely be considered. They’ve also left a request on their Facebook page, asking fans to let them know what countries and cities they’d like to see the band in. You can find this post behind this link.

雪 (Yuki) is the owner and driving force behind Arlequin.
She originally started the project in 2009 as a photographer under the name of Arlequin Photography, but developed an interest in journalism and translation ever since. Because of these interests interviews and reviews were added to the project, until it eventually hit the limits as a "photographer" in 2021, and Arlequin Magazine was added to the mix.
雪 (Yuki) is a native Dutch speaker with a graphic design degree, which means she is also the main person behind Arlequin Creations.
After all these years she is still the main person who does interviews the interviews and live photos that you see on Arlequin, but also a large chunk of the reviews and behind-the-scenes work and communication goes through her.
She speaks Dutch and English on a native level, but also understands Japanese and German.
