I don't know how I missed this one, but a chance to see Cibo Matto, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Buffalo Daughter, and Towa Tei at the Bowl is too much for me to pass up

the website (http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/tickets/performance-detail.cfm?id=4529)

The copy:

ADDITIONAL INFO:
The biggest names in Japanese pop music gather for this once-in-a-lifetime concert spanning genres and generations. Iconic Japanese electro-pop pioneers Yellow Magic Orchestra (with original members Ryuichi Sakamoto, Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi) return for their first show in L.A. since 1979. Yuka Honda and Miho Hatori reunite Cibo Matto for this special night, which will also feature rare U.S. appearances by Buffalo Daughter and DJ Towa Tei, plus traditional kabuki-style dance, taiko drumming and experimental contemporary visuals for an unforgettable evening celebrating Japan.

Thanks to KCRW I was reminded that this was coming sooner than I expected and picked up some tickets tonight. Seems Yoko Ono was also added to the bill. I'm thinking this is going to be full of wacky fun.
