Yokohama, Japan - February 19, 2008 - The annual tour that brings countless Japanese acts to the states known as Japan Nite is invading America again in 2009! This year's Japan Nite will span over one week (March 21 - 29) and will bring 13 amazing bands to give fans in America an up close and personal concert experience from bands that rarely venture out of their home city in Japan. While this is always a great experience, it is often difficult to find out information or listen to a track for most of these bands as they've never been outside of Japan.
HearJapan.com thought it would be eye opening experience for the fans of Japan Nite and fans who are going just to see their favorite band play to be able to hear what some of the Japan Nite acts sound before going to the show. If you are going to be seeing so many acts for a once and a life time opportunity, why not get to know them beforehand to make the live experience that much more enjoyable.
To make this possible, HearJapan.com is offering one track from six artists available from Japan Nite for free download until March 29. The six artists include quaff, Dirty Old Men, Asakusa Jinta, THE EMERALDS, HONEY SAC, and OMODAKA. Each artist made one track available for a free mp3 download to fans in America. If you can't make it to this years tour or live outside of the US, don't worry. You can also download these songs for free and hear some of the most unique music to come from Japan. The songs are packed in to a sampler entitled, "Japan Nite US Tour 2009 Sampler".
In addition to offering a free download many of the artists will be selling their releases on HearJapan to make it easier for overseas fans to purchase their music in an affordable fashion.
