Something called 'It Came From Japan' have organised a UK tour featuring three amazing Japanese electropop acts. They did one last year but we didn't know about that one.
The three acts on the 2007 tour are Tokyo Pinsalocks, Bespa Kumamero (pictured right) and the amazing Sonic Dragolgo.
Apparently It Came From Japan "was founded in 2006 by music journalist Daniel Robson as a way to bring shit-hot bands from Japan to the UK. Daniel lives in Tokyo, where he writes for publications in five countries, DJs monthly for NME, and eats raw horse."
It's hard to argue with that.
We are definitely going and you should too. Here is a flyer reduced in size so as to make some of the text completely illegible.

Maybe one day we will do a Popjustice Live event featuring some of our own favourite popstars.
