Takeshi Hosomi (the HIATUS) made quite an impact on Japanese music listeners when he came out on Skapara's stage with a suit matching with Skapara. But the impact did not stop at Coachella.

Sky Paradise Orchestra's performance during first week was the first time that a Japanese artist appeared on the main stage, but even on Weekend 2 Skapara didn't fail to deliver a zealous and passionate performance. Differing from the set list of week one, Weekend 2's performance was a clever interplay of 'static' and 'dynamic', making the audience dance in all directions. The audience was so riled up that there were countless mosh pits and even quite a bit of crowd surfing. As the performance was app...

ELLEGARDEN - Lonesome She looks smiley He looks friendly You maybe nice Don't know who I am She is talkative  He is whiner You are innocent Don't know how I am She keeps talking He keeps begging You are stainless But I keep driving Though I know you're the one who would end this rain You make me feel like changing That only makes me annoyed Cause "Grab it, steal it, beat them down" That's all I've learned You are innocent You are stainless You're my best friend so I'll tell you this You're an angel Let me feel good Let me feel I am still alive I have learned my instinct is hiding background Though no one knows But I keep denying Cause the world is lonesome enough to me and the world is crazy enough to me It keeps turning 'round and 'round and leaves me behind I say the world is lonesome enough I say the world is lonesome enough When I've got a feeling that I am behind I balme myself to...
