Yellow MagusVIDEOTAPEMUSIC × cero
VIDEOTAPEMUSIC, a music and video creator, will perform at Fuji Rock in an unusual lineup as a collaboration with the band cero.
VIDEOTAPEMUSIC has previously worked with cero—such as directing their music videos—so they’ve had connections in the past, but this time it’s a musical collaboration, and it’s exciting to imagine what kind of stage they’ll deliver.
By the way, the MV for cero’s “Yellow Magus” that we mentioned was directed by VIDEOTAPEMUSIC.
THANXWANIMA
Since their debut on PIZZA OF DEATH, WANIMA have steadily grown in popularity and are now unstoppable.
With “one chance” as their motto, their appeal lies in the wide range from cheeky, sex-themed songs to genuinely “good songs” like 1106 and this track, as well as the distinct personalities of the three members.
Their live shows are undeniably fun, so don’t miss them.
Jesus, EtcWilco
Wilco is an American rock band, and this year marks their 22nd year of activity.
Although they’re a rock band, their songs have a very calm atmosphere.
I think their music would fit the vibe of Fuji Rock.
The lyrics of this song are somewhat abstract, which is why there seem to be various interpretations.
If you’re curious, try looking it up online.
KingYears & Years
Years & Years is a Turkish electronica band.
They are a new-generation act active since 2010.
Incorporating elements of R&B and house, their music is youthful and energetic.

Bombs are scary.Zainichi Funk
Zainichi Funk is a seven-member funk band fronted by vocalist Kenta Hamano, aka Hamaken.
The band’s name reflects their aim to reexamine the lineage of funk stemming from James Brown from within Japan.
As you’d expect, their performances are incredibly funky and super cool.
At the same time, Hamaken’s comical onstage moves are irresistibly charming—definitely something to watch for at their live shows.
