This is such exciting news for the U.S.! Zipangu, presented by Goldenvoice and Cloud Nine, will be the first-ever Japanese music event taking place at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles on May 16, 2026! This announcement not only showcases Japanese artists, but the event will also be dedicated to the culture. There will be fashion as well, which we all know is a major part of this culture, with style that will leave you speechless and blinking in amazement. The headliner of this event is ADO, and the moment I saw that, I knew I had to attend. I live all the way in South Carolina, but this type of event is something I need to experience. I personally love the culture—my room is filled with manga, and I am always watching anime whenever I get the chance. ATARASHII GAKKO!, CHANMINA, HANA, MAN WITH A MISSION, Yuki Chiba, and 10-FEET will also be performing at this event!

“Japanese music has a universe of creativity that the world is only beginning to discover. Zipangu is the beginning of a new story, one that connects artists and fans through the power, vibrancy, and individuality of this scene.”

“Japan is an island nation where people feel the changing of the seasons and find beauty in wabi-sabi, the appreciation of impermanence and imperfection. In Japanese culture, there is the concept of the ‘D?’ — the Way, which values not only technical mastery but also courtesy, respect, and spiritual discipline. Through Zipangu, we invite audiences to see, hear, and feel Japan’s ‘Way of Music’ — the Ongaku-d? — and experience the spirit of Cloud Nine-d?, celebrating artistry, dedication, and the heart of Japanese musical expression.” – Zipangu team
