MAN WITH A MISSION is a 5-piece rock band consisted of “ultimate creatures” with wolf heads and human bodies. They have been extremely active in Japan participating in major music/rock festivals and going on a solo nationwide tour. As they continue to stay strong in the domestic rock scene, they decided that it was time to face the challenge in the overseas scene and participated in JAPAN EXPO, the biggest festival in Europe for Japanese culture and entertainment.

This unique pack of wolves was featured by “NoLife TV,” the biggest TV network specializing in Japanese pop culture, which provides service for 12 million households in France and by MTV for an exclusive interview. They were also interviewed by various local media including magazines and web media. Even though it was their very first time visiting France, they were warmly welcomed by the local media, audience and fans beyond anyone’s expectations. The vocalist/guitarist Jean-Ken Johnny expressed his joy by stating, “Super glad for everyone's interest in our FIRST LIVE in France! Paris is beautiful. Merci, merci, super merci!”

At the venue of JAPAN EXPO 2012, MAN WITH THE MISSION performed in front of an audience of 5000 with the full power and energy the same way they would back on a home stage in Japan. It was as if France had already become their second home. Starting off their stage with ‘DON’T LOSE YOURSELF,’ they continued on in full gear with their signature song ‘FLY AGAIN,’ the collaboration song with Gerolsteiner ‘Get Off of My Way,’ the cover of Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit,’ one of their new songs ‘distance,’ and more. Even after their full-on stage of 8 songs, the audience still wanted the stage to go on. In response to such an enthusiastic audience, Jean-Ken Johnny made his promise in fluent English and French, “We will definitely be back again!” There is no doubt that their powerful and passionate stage be remembered as a significant chapter of JAPAN EXPO’s history.

With this successful stage in Paris, France, MAN WITH THE MISSION’s “MASH UP THE WORLD TOUR” will continue on to the US and back to Japan for the homecoming stages with their brand new 2nd Full Album “MASH UP THE WORLD” released on 7/18/2012. This is only the beginning of their mission to “MASH UP” the world just the way these wolves want. So, keep a close eye on these eccentric wolves and don’t miss out on their actions!!

A headline-making band of wolves "MAN WITH A MISSION" is coming to JAPAN EXPO 2012!!!

With their first single released on 4/4/2012 ranking #6 (as of 4/16) on Oricon's Weekly Single Chart and their first nationwide one-man live tour going sold-out immediately, MAN WITH A MISSION, a 5-piece rock band of wolves, are rocking away at full speed and expanding their horizons as far as Europe! MAN WITH A MISSION will participate in JAPAN EXPO 2012, a world-famous Japanese cultural event taking place in France.

JAPAN EXPO's scale and number of participating guest artists from Japan kept on growing ever since their very first event back in 2000. With the main theme of introducing Japanese pop culture, JAPAN EXPO is a grand-scale event where everyone can experience what's happening "in Japan now" at first hand.

MAN WITH A MISSION may come off as a comical band at your first glance, but here is why they were capable of mesmerizing the audience of Japan. Their heavy sounds in a moderate mix of danceable tunes and heart-touching melodies are a sure thing to impress any audience they perform for. That's why they will be on their way to France for JAPAN EXPO this coming July.
