We are so excited to announce we are bringing back popular J-ROCK band from Japan, [ALEXANDROS] for the SECOND time to Kuala Lumpur! The popularly in-demand band will also be touring other Asia countries, including Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Bangkok and Jakarta. Their concert in Kuala Lumpur will be held on 19 July 2019 (Friday) at Bentley Music Auditorium, at 8.30pm.

[ALEXANDROS] will also hold an exclusive meet and greet session with the fans, limited to VIP ticket holders only! VIP ticket holders will get to meet and have a handshake session with the band members, take a group photo with them, get an autographed concert poster, and last but certainly not least, able to get priority entry to the concert.

Following last year in September, [ALEXANDROS] had released a new song「Arpeggio」as the theme song for the PS4 suspense action game “Judge Eyes”, starring Takuya Kimura as the game’s main protagonist. The [ALEXANDROS] Arpeggio music video also features Takuya Kimura, who could be seen ‘acting’ as a behind-the-camera person.

The band also recently released a new song「Pray」on 13th May, which will be featured as Japanese theme song for the popular Godzilla movie franchise “Godzilla: King of the Monsters”.

[ALEXANDROS], formerly known as Champagne, is a four-piece rock band from Japan that plays a mixture of alternative and hard rock with elements of pop punk and emo, lending them a contemporary sound that carries a wide appeal. They are currently signed to Universal Music Japan and are one of the bigger names in the current Japanese rock scene. On top of that, the band performs songs in both Japanese and English, which makes them instantly accessible to a larger global audience. Their transnational appeal also stems from the fact that the members have living experience abroad and are multilingual; skills and competencies they also transfer into their art and sound. Last year, the band had sang the theme song for the popular anime live-action ‘BLEACH’ movie that was released in July. The band was formed in 2007 and the members are: Yoohei Kawakami on vocals and guitar, Hiroyuki Isobe on bass and backing vocals, Masaki Shirai on guitar and Satoyasu Shomura on drums.
