The set will also include appearances from Korean hip-hop legends Tiger JK and Yoonmirae, plus Chinese singer and dancer Xin Liu, 88rising’s newest signing.The programming reflects Miyashiro’s observations of widespread growth and appreciation of Japanese artists in today’s music landscape, he told NME, and 88rising’s efforts to celebrate and spotlight Japanese music “on what is the world’s most influential, prestigious music festival stage”.“There’s so much music coming out of Japan of all genres, and there’s so many people wanting to make music and be artists,” he said.
“Yoasobi are one of the biggest artists in Japan right now, but their music is just one of a kind – same with Atarashii Gakko!. [But there’s also] great R&B, hip-hop, rock, city pop – it’s a really exciting time and I think it’s just the beginning.
I’m glad we’re able to provide a glimpse and a snapshot of what’s happening there.”Miyashiro affirmed that 88rising will be leaning into this potential global boom in Japanese music with investment and resources. “We’re going to be starting a very concentrated effort for Japanese music – that means staff, time and energy, resources, and really understanding and trying to develop [artists],” he explained.
