Melodifestivalen is a singing competition in Sweden and the winners of this get to represent the country in Europe's Eurovision Song Contest. YOHIO has participated and is currently in the finals, although I believe this is only the first part of the competition.

YOHIO is also in Tokyo right now, filming for Heartbreak Hotel (a MV I'm guessing). Video of day 1:

Lately, YOHIO's been quite active in Sweden, with his new single "Our Story" out as well as being featured in Swedish radio and television. Here's a few interviews to sum up what's been happening:
(two videos have English subtitles, but the last two don't)

(EDIT: You can purchase Our Story on iTunes here. Also, here's an article from Sveriges Radio.)

Summer Sonic has ended sucessfully and YOHIO is back in Sweden, so here's a picture and video recap of it!

While in Japan, he also had a photoshoot and went to Osaka where he met up with his big bro GACKT!

And as an added bonus, some fans were able to take and upload videos of Seremedy's concert in Stockholm! Various videos can be found  here (lower quality, but closer up) and here (much better quality!). YOHIO played not only with Seremedy, but also played Frantic Elegance and Without Wings from his own mini album REACH the SKY.

Today (or yesterday, depending on where you live), is YOHIO's birthday!
Japanese celebrities including Rui from SCREW and T.M. Revolution have tweeted to YOHIO wishing him a happy birthday.

Happy 17th birthday, YOHIO! Wishing you all the best! （＾＿＾）☆


Now we're the same age. :D

Around a week ago, YOHIO started uploading short videos on VideofyMe. Most are some small updates about his trip to and at UppCon (an annual Swedish anime convention located in Uppsala, see here). There's also a few random videos as well. ^^

And on a side note, he's also uploaded some more short videos on his youtube channel which you can watch here.

Stay MAD~!

I found an interesting English article the other day about YOHIO on the CNN's Geek Out blog. There's some background info and also some views from experts on why he's so popular in Japan right now (which I found really interesting). ^^

There have been various YOHIO related videos uploaded on YouTube recently, so here are some links!
