ToshI delivering his angelic voice to the world.

Yokohama, Japan — June 21st, 2011 — HearJapan is excited to announce that X Japan singer ToshI has just added two brand new singles to the catalog!

Hoshizora no Neptune and Haru no Negai both prominently feature ToshI’s legendary vocal style set along-side elegant and moving piano melodies and string arrangements. These songs of separation, miraculous encounters and beauty could be considered metaphorically about the victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Their power and majesty work to heal all wounds.

Both Hoshizora no Neptune and Haru no Negai will be available to download the second they go on sale in Japan. Hardcore fans overseas won’t have to feel left out of this monumental communal experience! Make sure to pre-order now and set your alarm so you can be the first to own these incredible new ToshI singles as soon as they go live!

Also, don’t forget that along with ToshI’s healing voice, 5% of ALL HearJapan sales go toward the continuing relief efforts in Japan. And make sure to catch X Japan on their current world tour!

Yokohama, Japan — March 10th, 2011 — The Japan Nite tour is about to

take the US by storm once again, and HearJapan is excited to offer up

as perfect counterpoint. The entire compilation will grab listeners by

the scruff of the neck and never let go. Just like you would expect at

the live show!

Fans of the crazy underground Japanese scene might be excited to know

that Vampillia is made up of a large number of big names, like

Chikada, the drummer of World's end girlfriend. There is also drummer

Tatsuya Yoshida from Ruins and Korekyojinn. Then there is Toyohito

Yoshida from exBOREDOMS. In total they have three singers, three

string players, two drummers and more!

Japan Nite is the longest running US tour to exclusively feature

Japanese bands. They always have an excellent line-up of bands both

old and new, known and unknown. You will find a lot to love, so don’t

pass up the chance to catch this exciting show!

Signing session with Dio

Dio's management has agreed to surprise the Swiss fans with a gift.
The five boys will hold a signing session on the day of the concert (Wednesday, November 19th), around 4pm at Werk 21. Due to the strict schedule, only 20 people will be allowed to attend the signing session. We will hold a drawing in order to determine these 20 people.
Everyone who has already bought and paid their ticket is allowed to participate. The deadline for the drawing is October 31st (midnight). Afterwards we will contact the winners as soon as possible via e-mail.

If you'd like to participate, then send us an e-mail with your name, date of birth, as well as your ticket number to: contest[at]vk-jrock.ch

Because the number of people allowed at the signing is limited, we ask you out of fairness to only participate in the drawing if you can come for sure. It would be a pity if not all winners showed up. Furthermore, please send your e-mail to the above mentioned address only. E-mails that we receive at different addresses cannot be included in the drawing.

Please look up our FAQ before you ask us questions regarding the signing sessison. Thank you.
