JAKARTA - Indonesia has become one of the goals of Japanese musicians or music groups who are currently on tour. In recent years, units such as YOSOBI and One Ok Rock, as well as singer-writer Fuji Kaze held concerts in Jakarta.

Swara Wimayoga alias Wima J-Rocks, as one of the Indonesian musicians who is synonymous with Japanese rock music style, sees this as inseparable from the rise of fans in Indonesia.

Unlike when J-Rocks started his musical journey in the mid-2000s, the bassist saw the more 'smelling' Japanese culture events that were packaged better

"If I look at the development of the Japanese-Japangan festival, yes. That means if you look at the production, compared to the past, now it's much better," said Wima when met in Thamrin, Central Jakarta some time ago.

Wima said, J-Rocks appeared in Japanese culture several times, with facilities and infrastructure that increased significantly in quality.

"Imagine that before (the event) was only a small community, students, college gigs, and with a modest system. Now J-Rocks has come to the Japanese festival several times, and that's already a very proper one, starting from the sound system, lighting, and sponsorship. the Japanese company has started," he said.

This development is a matter of pride for those who like Japanese culture commonly called wibu.

"And finally it made Wibu really class up. Wibu has really gone up in class in the last few years," he concluded.
