Earlier this year Esprit D’Air already toured the UK and Ireland to promote the new album “Oceans”, but in late March Kai also traveled to Europe. Supported by Yusuke, Takeshi and Vincent he conquered the Nieuwe Nor in Heerlen with the greatest of ease.
This show was actually the second time Esprit D’Air was on stage in The Netherlands, the first time being during their “Constellations” European tour in 2018, where they were the main act at AVO J-Music Festival in Den Haag. We took some photos of their show back then, and we’ve taken some more this round, so we can only hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
You can find our photos on our photography portfolio “Arlequin Photography”, here:
Misaki is the owner of Angry Juice Official, a small company that creates handmade plushies in a kawaii style.
Her style has been influenced by ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei), cosplay, anime and other elements of Japanese popculture.
For Arlequin she is mainly active as a photographer during live shows, but she also occasionally helps out as a translator for the Dutch version of the project and certain aspects of Arlequin Creations.
She speaks Dutch on a native level, but also understands English.
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.
