 Just in time for his US Tour, Universal Music Japan recording artist MIYAVI has released a new music video for his latest song, “Long Nights”!
This past Saturday saw legendary Japanese rock group X JAPAN return to the Coachella Music & Arts Festival as they headlined the Mojave Stage for the second weekend. As one of only a few rock artists performing at the festival, X JAPAN’s powerful rock performance and elaborate production thrilled the Coachella crowd with a rousing hard rock concert, pyrotechnics and special effects that delivered both surprises and guest stars.
 X JAPAN made their Coachella debut on April 14 — YOSHIKI’s first major concert on drums since the band headlined SSE Wembley Arena in London last year — with a hard-rocking set that drew praise from music fans and media alike.
At the sold-out, back-to-back shows - titled “X JAPAN LIVE 2018: 10th Anniversary of Reunion PREMIUM GIGS – YOSHIKI Night of Resurrection” - YOSHIKI’s intense drumming, including hard-rocking songs like “Jade”, “Rusty Nail”, “I.V.”, and “Kurenai”, led the 2500 fans into a powerful moment where the entire venue “X-jumped” together as one.
 Named by the Grammy Awards poll as one of Top 3 most anticipated acts at Coachella, X JAPAN will be performing as one of the only hard rock acts on the bill both weekends. With hip-hop recently taking the reins as the #1 genre in the world, the inclusion of X JAPAN at the festival amongst the likes of Beyoncé and The Weeknd is a testament to the band’s groundbreaking success far and wide.
 Universal Music Japan recording artist MIYAVI will perform a series of upcoming U.S. live concerts. Through his management company, J-GLAM, MIYAVI has announced the North American dates as part of his current “Day 2 World Tour 2018”.
