Under the guise of ending the summer holidays on a good note, YouTube Japan has planned a new edition of YouTube Music Weekend on the last weekend of August: from Friday 25 August to Sunday 27 August, this time the digital event is supported by docomo.
In case you are not yet familiar with this concept, YouTube Music Weekend is a weekend filled with premieres of live performances, music videos, talks and other videos created exclusively for this weekend. The seventh edition will feature 57 artists dubbed ‘digital native artists’ who have received international recognition and come from Japanese internet culture, including artists such as ZUTOMAYO, Eve, PINOCCHIOP, n-buna, Hoshimachi Suisei and YOASOBI. These musicians are the headliners for the seventh edition of YouTube Music Weekend.
YouTube Japan has put everything in a playlist so you don’t have to search for the videos that will premiere, but it is definitely recommended to subscribe to all these YouTube channels. The event will also be linked to the recently launched PictoPOP playlist, which represents digital-born artists and showcases the performers’ music to the world via YouTube Music.
