Pro-JECT
Pro-Jrock in the East CoasT
Our Mission Statement *scroll* As you probably know by now, Japanese pop culture is steadily growing in the United States. There are thousands of dedicated fans all over the United States. Each day there are more that pop up. In the past few years, there have been many Japanese artists to take the stage stateside. Jrock Revolution was a successful Los Angeles based festival. Pacific Media Expo is a convention that hosts Asian acts each year. At Anime Expo 2007 Japanese rock super group S.K.I.N. debuted. What about the other half of the United States? In 2003 American anime convention Otakon hosted T.M. Revolution for his debut United States performance. The following year, L’Arc~en~Ciel debuted in front of over 12,000 fans. Legendary X Japan drummer YOSHIKI was guest of honor at the same convention in 2006. Recently even more Japanese acts have been venturing west. West is the key point, to be more specific California. On Miyavi’s recent world tour, he performed four shows in the state of California. No other US stops. In 2006 L’Arc~en~Ciel vocalist Hyde performed shows only in California as well. S.K.I.N.’s only concert was in California. Aforementioned Jrock Revolution was a Los Angeles two day festival featuring 9 bands. As previously stated, Japanese acts have come to the East coast. There is a fan base. It just seems like the majority stop in California. Also majority of East Coast performances are attached to anime conventions. There are plenty of venues East Coast for its abundant fan base. In 2007 Dir en grey sold out Nokia Theater New York. And let’s not forget the previous year they sold out the Avalon in New York with very little promotion. East coast fans are here and we are here to stay. Pro-JECT is a group of dedicated East Coast based Japanese rock fans. We exist and we want our favorite Japanese artist here! Actions speak louder than words. We are taking a stand. We want you! Pro-JECT plans to go directly to the source…the Japanese bands themselves. We will be writing letters campaigning for more acts to visit East Coast. Major cities include but not limited too, New York, Boston, Washington DC, Atlanta, and Orlando. Skeptical? Don’t be. X Japan scheduled a performance in Taiwan because 10,000 fans sent letters requesting YOSHIKI to come to Taiwan. If we are loud enough and if we put in the effort, anything is possible! Join us! ~Pinkladydiva
