Guess what! We have guests who will perform at the Fuji Rock … 2 bands from France and Spain. LA RUDA (France) will perform at ORANGE COURT at 19:00-20:00 on July 31. MALLACAN (Spain) will perform at ORANGE COURT at 14:40-15:40 on August 1. The last time I went to Fuji Rock was in 2005 when my favorite band ‘COLDPLAY’ performed at GREEN STAGE. 'Independence', 'Cooperation' and 'Respect of nature' are the key concepts of the festival. It is worth going to the Fuji Rock Festival. You will love it. http://www.smash-uk.com/frf10/ ]]> http://sakura-hotel-ikebukuro.com/blog/2010/07/fuji_rock.html http://sakura-hotel-ikebukuro.com/blog/2010/07/fuji_rock.html Guest Thu, 29 Jul 2010 02:22:12 +0900 He speaks German and French, English and Japanese!!

The guests are mostly from Europe. I have been wondering what make them into it. The clearly defined character of visual kei is outrageous and innovative make-up & hair styles and punk and metal sound. Um... I am more than curious about it. That’s mystery. Tabea and Sesin from Germany went to the Gazette’s concert last Friday. Also they went to the KAT-TUN’s concert last Saturday. KAT-TUN is one of the major Idol groups in Japan. They love Kazuya Kamenashi. I am glad to see that Japanese visual kei and idols are loved and supported by people in other countries and become universal things. I believe their passion will promote real international exchange. ]]> http://sakura-hotel-ikebukuro.com/blog/2010/07/are_you_visual_kei.html http://sakura-hotel-ikebukuro.com/blog/2010/07/are_you_visual_kei.html Guest Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:56:24 +0900 Come to see new faces!]]> http://sakura-hotel-ikebukuro.com/blog/2010/07/new_faces_1.html http://sakura-hotel-ikebukuro.com/blog/2010/07/new_faces_1.html Ikebukuro staff Mon, 26 Jul 2010 10:02:42 +0900 Sometimes, we can see beautiful side of Tokyo city.
