Ceipa Board Member Tatsuya Nomura on Matsuri’25, J-Pop’s Global Rise and Japan’s Shift to Streaming

Thousands flocked to downtown Los Angeles last month for Japan Culture and Entertainment Industry Promotion Association’s first-ever Matsuri’25, a concert featuring popular Japanese artists.
The sold-out March concert, put on by the organization known as Ceipa, and held at the Peacock Theatre, included three acts. Ado, a majorly popular singer-songwriter whose personal details, including her identity, are virtually unknown, engaging duo Yoasobi and the energetic four-piece group Atarashii Gakko! All three artists have had a strong presence in the U.S. music market.
Atarashii Gakko! and Yoasobi have both played Coachella with the latter also playing Head in the Clouds. Ado, who performs entirely in shadow through a cage-like box, is preparing to embark on a large scale U.S. tour, having already sold out her July show at L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena.
Ceipa held the event to bridge the gap between Japanese artists and U.S.
