Japanese Breakfast has released her Jubilee hit "Be Sweet" with Korean vocals and guest vocalist So!YoON! from Seoul band Se So Neon. Michelle Zauner got an assist from Yaeji for the translation of the lyrics, and she's released the recording with So!YoON! ahead of her upcoming performance in South Korea. It's awesome. Listen:
Speaking of upcoming performances, Japanese Breakfast is currently touring worldwide, headlining shows and hitting festivals in the US, East Asia, and South America through the fall. She unfortunately was forced to cancel her shows this month in Montreal and Honolulu, and drop off supporting The National in Portland, because of Covid cases in her touring party. Her Toronto show, scheduled for July 19, has also been rescheduled to September 26. See the rest of her upcoming dates, including NYC with Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Linda Lindas on October 1 at Forest Hills Stadium, below.
