摩天楼オペラ (Matenrou Opera) will be releasing their new single “夜明けは雪と共に” (Yoake wa yuki to tomo ni) on June 19, 2024!
The single will contain 3 tracks, and will be released through the band’s official webshop exclusively.
Thanks to the services from CDJapan fans who don’t have a Japanese address available to them were also able to place an order for the single through their proxy shipping service for a brief period of time. Unfortunately we are a little late with giving you this information, so at the moment of writing this option is no longer possible. (Maybe CDJapan will open up another round of proxy shopping for this item in the future.)

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.
