Featuring a darkly elegant musical style reminiscent of older Japanese melodies filled with jazz and rock, the four members of heidi. are proud to make their return to the U.S. for a performance at Pacific Media Expo. On top of performances at such high-profile events as hide Memorial Summit (2008) and V-Rock Festival (2009), the band has also made their mark outside of Japan at anime conventions in America including AM2 (2011) and Anime Weekend Atlanta (2012), and has even toured Europe (2014).
In addition to their active and impressive gig history, the band has earned notoriety for their contribution of two ending theme songs, "Yokan" and "Loop," to the Japanese animation series Kaichou ha Maido Sama! (My Student Club President is a Maid!), available from Sentai Filmworks under the title Maid Sama!, as well as the main theme of the movie Mae Bashi Visual Kei, "Gekkou Showtime."
The band has been known to broadcast performances over Nico Nama in order to increase their availability to a worldwide audience, and is often featured in interviews and live reports by English press, making them one of the more accessible bands of the modern Visual Kei era.
heidi.'s latest album, Human (released 5/14/2014), is a positive blend of forward-thinking lyrics, unique melodies, and exciting rhythms wrapped up in rock-based packaging and bound to please both casual listeners and old fans alike.
Tickets to the concert will be available only to PMX members. In addition, this year we are pleased to announce that we will be offering a special opportunity for fans of heidi. to show their love and support. We will be offering two options as part of our indiegogo campaign.
