L.A.’s Microsoft Theater will be taken over by nine Japanese anime song performers on 4, 6, and 7 July 2018! It will be a three-day music festival held by Anisong World Matsuri in conjunction with Anime Expo 2018, the largest celebration of Japanese pop culture in North America.
Thanks to their work in association with leading Japanese entertainment companies like Bandai Namco, Amuse, and Sony Music, fan-favorite performers like Aimer, AKB48 Team 8, THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS, i☆Ris, Yuki Kajiura, May’n, Shoko Nakagawa, and Sanketsu-girl Sayuri will be performing at the Los Angeles Convention Center. In addition, Love Live! Sunshine!! group Aqours will hold their first-ever full-length solo concert in the United States. There is something in this mix for any anime fan and it promises to be an unforgettable memory since there will be exciting on-stage collaborations and great songs all in one.
Check out the full line-up down below.
