After their well-received performance in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur a few days ago, Hitsujibungaku will be heading to the Philippines this Saturday for their highly anticipated show.

The Japanese alt-rock trio will be performing this July 6, 2024 (Saturday), from 7 p.m. onwards at East Side Events Place in Marikina City, Philippines.

The headline show in Manila serves as the third stop of their four-city Asian tour. It was conceived as part of the band’s promotional efforts to promote their brand-new album, 12 hugs (like butterflies) to key market audiences outside Japan.

Tickets are still available via bit.ly/hitsujibungakuph.

Merch can also be pre-ordered via bit.ly/hitsujibungakumerch.

Hitsujibungaku: Live in Manila is presented by GNN Entertainment Productions and The Rest Is Noise PH. The two production outfits recently teamed up to bring Taiwan’s Elephant Gym last year.

Hitsujibungaku is composed by Moeka Shiotsuka (vocals, guitar, songwriting), Yurika Kasai (bass) and Hiroa Fukuda (drums). Melding dreamy vocals with shoegaze riffs and syrupy, noise-pop arrangements, the critically adored band has gained a cult following thanks to the popularity of their song “More Than Words,” which served as the finale song for the second season of the hit anime series, Jujutsu Kaisen.

In December 2023, the globally renowned band released their fourth studio album, 12 hugs (like butterflies), which garnered universal acclaim from music critics and fans worldwide.
