Layla Lane is a duo made up of both Valerie Stern and Hidehito Ikumo (Heday). They bring a unique flavor to the music scene combining rock and a hint gypsy swing. Their music has recently been featured on a popular Coca Cola advertisement in Japan where they sing the popular Japanese song “Sunday Monday Tuesday” (which has also been sung by celebrities such as Hulk Hogan). The group’s hot single “No More” will be featured on the soundtrack for the Hollywood movie “Killers” starring Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl.
While I was in Japan this past Winter and Spring, I had the opportunity to interview Layla Lane and special guest Mitsuru Kuramoto, a famous writer for Japan’s popular comedy duo Down Town. I was fortunate to also see this duo perform in Tokyo at the Crawfish in Akasaka. Take a peek at their performance!
