YOHIO concert!

9 years ago, a boy equally aged found his interest in anime and manga. He quickly learned Japanese from evening school and watching Japanese shows. He even started to blog in Japanese! Two years later he started playing the guitar, and quickly found a talent for that too. Today his name is making headlines around the world (including CNN and Yahoo, as well as the German TV station RTL), Japanese guitar magazines have given him a lot of attention for his guitar skills, and he is fully endorsed by Japanese guitar brand ESP.

 

He has been in countless TV shows. He has even been hosted by the famous lunch TV-show "Waratte Ittomo" which has over 10 million regular viewers in Japan. He has also appeared in many major national Japanese TV shows, and Universal Japan is making huge marketing campaigns for him.

 

When he was 16 years old, his solo debut mini album ‘REACH the SKY’ was released in Japan with by Universal Japan, closely followed by a debut full album in Japanese released in the summer of 2013. Today he is 18 years old, dresses in the classic lolita style, and performs the Visual-Kei (visual style) genre.

 

He also tours around the country and plays fully booked shows in Sweden where he is from. He has gotten the Gold Award for his debut album, the Platinum Award for his single "Heartbreak Hotel", and his debut album in Sweden landed on 1st place on the Album chart, while the DVD of his Swedish tour got the 1st place on the Swedish DVD chart! He placed second in the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest Final last year (only after the jury placed him second, the viewers’ votes put him miles ahead of second place!).

 

We are talking about none other than the famous YOHIO! This year he made it to the finals of the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest once again and he will be playing a concert Friday night at J-Popcon 2014 for his Danish convention fans! He will be singing his songs in Japanese, as well as his newest hit single "To the End" in English.

 

After the concert there will also be a signing session for his fans! So come along to J-Popcon 2014 for an unforgettable experience with this amazing artist, who is mesmerizing the music world with his skills and talent! We sure are excited to bring him to you at J-Popcon 2014!
