HITT will be returning to Europe for a short tour in late August. The tour is being organized by HIGHFeeL, and will be visiting 5 countries for a total of 6 shows between August 24 and September 2.
It has been quite a few years since we’ve last seen HITT in The Netherlands, the last time being in 2014 when he celebrated 5 years of touring Europe with his “5 Years of Love European tour”.
While he originally started as a bassist in the punk band “BB DAN” HITT made the switch to being a solo artist in 2004, with a sound that can be described best as “piano rock”, but his live show is created around his eccentric personality, making him an artist you just have to experience live for yourself. 😉

Abunai! 2018 – “Tales of Kitsunia” in Veldhoven
For the Dutch stop of the tour HITT will be the musical guest on the Abunai! convention, which is being held in Veldhoven from August 24 to August 26. His performance is scheduled for the second day of the event, which is August 25.
If you already have a weekend- or Saturday ticket you don’t have to buy an additional ticket for HITT’s performance. If you don’t have a ticket yet but don’t want to visit the whole weekend of the event, a Saturday ticket is the best option for you.
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's still the one responsible for the interviews and most of the live photography you see here at Arlequin, but the majority of reviews and behind-the-scenes work is also done by her.
The reviews she writes are from the viewing point of an overseas fan, and thus written in English before being translated to Dutch, Spanish and Japanese. In the English versions she also tries to explain the meaning behind certain kanji or song titles to the readers, but what you don't see here is that these explanations are omitted in the Japanese versions in order to appeal to these readers more.
She speaks Dutch and English on a native level, but also understands Japanese and German.
