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”.
 Always on the lookout for great artists to show our readers, we were excited when the opportunity to interview THE SOUND BEE HD was given to us. For those that don't know, THE SOUND BEE HD is a band formed by former Media Youth vocalist, DAISUKE. They formed in 1998 and. barring a hiatus from 2005-2010, have been active ever since. They've hosted several overseas shows in the United States, China, and elsewhere. In 2015 they added Yuu as their guitarist who was formerly in Suicide Ali and Iix. In 2017 they released their album "LIVING DEAD" and they recently released a single titled "ENDLESS DEAD" (The official MV for this song can be found following the interview.)
