The “J-pop” concert featuring the singer Izumi from Tokyo, Japan, and the Pocatello band “Somewhere in the Middle” from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Sept. 15 is a fundraiser for the Idaho State University Japanese Club.

The ISU Taiko Drum Group will open the concert.

Izumi and “Somewhere in the Middle” will perform an eclectic mix of “Japanese pop” music in English, from a song by Ozzie Osborn to a song by Cindy Lauper.
