Following the success of the first Bento Beatbox television program on Anime Network, JrockRevolution.com is thrilled to announce our next episode's airdate of July 15, 2009. The premiere show, which aired April 15, 2009 and featured legendary musical guests Gackt, Angelo, Luna Sea, VAMPS, and newcomers Deluhi, was recently rated as the sixth most viewed program on Anime Network. It is also being aired on the United Television Broadcasting System (UTB), which is the leading Asian Network in Southern California, reaching 6.2 million homes and 95% of all cable households in Southern California. JrockRevolution.com and Anime Network teamed up to create the ultimate Jrock video show, featuring a combination of Jrock's iconic artists along with newer up and coming Visual Kei bands who are getting a lot of buzz throughout the Jrock fan community! Hosted by Xion, from the L.A. based Jrock band VAEIDOS, with Jrock news hosted by JrockRevolution.com's Ai Aota, Bento Beatbox provides a platform for Jrock and Visual Kei artists to showcase their music videos, along with live concert performances, Jrock news, and interviews. Finally, the demand from Jrock fans for more access to their favorite bands has become a reality! Says Jonathan Platt, Bento Beat Box Producer and Founder of JrockRevolution.com
