U-Express Live 2013

Missed out on getting tickets for Ringo Starr's sold-out Tokyo shows in February? You'll have another chance to see him in March, though it'll involve squirming through sets by the likes of J-pop singer Naoto Inti Raymi and Korean idol group Kara (and, rather more appealingly, veteran pop duo Dreams Come True and Perfume). What could such a slapdash assortment of acts possibly have in common? They're all signed to Universal Music Japan, you ninny.
