BURNOUT SYNDROMES open their U.S. run at The Glass House on Nov. 10

The Osaka trio behind three seasons of Haikyu!! openings plays an all-ages Tuesday in Pomona before heading to Tempe and Texas.

If you have ever sat through the opening credits of *Haikyu!!* instead of skipping them, you already know this band. BURNOUT SYNDROMES play The Glass House in Pomona on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 through DICE, which lists doors at 7 p.m. and an all-ages show.

Pomona is the first of four dates on this leg. From 2nd Street the band goes to Tempe on Nov. 11, then Dallas on Nov. 13 and San Antonio on Nov. 14. Our records show no earlier Inland Empire show for them, so this is the first chance we know of to see them this side of the county line.

BURNOUT SYNDROMES are a three-piece rock band from Osaka, together since 2005, singing in Japanese. Their DICE bio describes them as challenging the limits of what a three-piece can do, and the anime work is how most American fans found them: they performed opening themes for three seasons of *Haikyu!!* and have also worked on *Dr. Stone*, per Anime News Network. Those are big, fast, chant-along songs written to make a scene feel bigger than it is, and that is exactly what they tend to do in a room full of people who know every word.

The band has been building a U.S. audience on purpose. In 2024 they announced their first American tour, "Good Morning [New] World," a 10-city run from Aug. 15 to Sept. 3 that went from Atlanta to Los Angeles, as Asia Blooming reported. They came back last November with more U.S. dates. This year's stop in Pomona continues that pattern, and an all-ages Tuesday is a smart way to meet the anime crowd where it lives: plenty of the band's most devoted fans are not old enough for a 21-plus club.

Big, fast, chant-along songs written to make a scene feel bigger than it is.

The room has its own history. The Glass House, at 200 W. 2nd St. in downtown Pomona, opened in 1996 with No Doubt on the bill. At 800 capacity it is big enough for a crowd that sings loud and small enough that you can see the drummer sweat.

Plan for a school-night crowd and a lot of merch-line energy. Tickets live in the DICE app, so have your phone charged.

If you came to this band through an anime opening, Nov. 10 is the night to hear what those songs sound like with three people playing them in front of you, no animation required. Bring your voice. You will need it for the choruses.
