ソメイヨシノ (Somei Yoshino) // A special guest at ZEROSHIKI’s tour

AVO Magazine recently announced a show with ZEROSHIKI and DEFINE ME in the Musicon venue in Den Haag already (I’m just really late with sharing this news), but today there was a small edit to the lineup. Next to the Japanese alternative rock band ZEROSHIKI and the Czech rock band DEFINE ME another Japanese artist joined the event as a special guest: ソメイヨシノ (Somei Yoshino).

The show will take place on Monday, October 7 at the Musicon in Den Haag.
Tickets will costs €7,50 and will only be available at the door of the venue. There will not be a pre-sale. The first performance of the night will start at 20:00 (8 PM).
Keep yourself up to date and set yourself on “interested” or “going” through the Facebook event, too!

 

ソメイヨシノ (Somei Yoshino)

For the ones who aren’t familiar with this project yet… It’s the new solo project of 龍-RYU-, the ex-singer of the ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) band 大蛇 (OROCHI). After 15 years of activity 龍-RYU- decided it was better to “restart” his love for music under a new name at the end of January 2019. (Mostly because he had so many songs as 大蛇 (OROCHI) already it was very hard for new (support) members to get into the project, according to his own words.)
Earlier this year 龍-RYU-‘s new project performed at a convention in Laos, and a new music video was released too, titled 祇園-GION-. This single later got a physical release at Comiket.

 

AVO Magazine

AVO Magazine, more commonly known as AVO and as AVO Events, has organized several concerts and festivals over the last 7 years, although most of those were collaborations with other tour organizations. The concerts of ZEROSHIKI, DEFINE ME and ソメイヨシノ (Somei Yoshino) will be first show carrying the “AVO Magazine presents” label, something that AVO plans to use more often from now on.

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.
