Esprit D'Air already toured the UK and Ireland to promote the newest album "Oceans" in early 2024, but some extra tour dates were added to include more of Europe with The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium in late March and early April.
We managed to catch vocalist Kai and his support musicians Yusuke, Takeshi and Vincent in the Nieuwe Nor during their stop in Heerlen, The Netherlands.
And of course we took some photos of their live show. These photos are hosted on our photography portfolio Arlequin Photography.

雪 (Yuki)
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.

Sable Hills is a five-member metalcore band based in Tokyo, which formed straight out of high school in 2015. The band released their first EP “RESURRECTION” in early 2016, following with the full album “EMBERS” in 2019 and “DUALITY” in 2022 – which also gave the group international recognition.
In this interview 雪 (Yuki) speaks with vocalist Takuya and guitarist Rict about their growth as musicians and their new found fame in Europe, but of course we can’t forget their new album "Odyssey" and their very own FRONTLINE FESTIVAL either!

Y-xiz // A devil and a god on each end of the vertical axis
Y-xiz is a Stylish Hard Rock Band, existing out of vocalist yesk and guitarist You.. They are inspired by mythology, retro movies and theater, creating a sound that is rooted in hardrock - much like their description already suggests.
Their first single came out in February of 2023 and captivated us as soon as we saw it, but at that moment in time we chose to wait a little longer before asking them for an interview. And it's a good thing we did, because they had a lot of interesting answers to our questions! We can't wait to share their work with you today!
