Festival goers can also participate in a host of fun activities including a Wasabi Challenge presented by Sakae Sushi, a kids cosplay competition, an ACG singing competition, and explore the merchandise, arts and crafts booths from various local vendors and creators.

Some of the highlights of the music festival is the use of innovative arrangements in their musical presentations.

The well-attended press conference was followed by a preview showcase by well-known anisong singers MinRi, Rina-Hime and Tato Queen, performing Akuma No Ko from Attack of the Titans and Gunjou, a song inspired by Tsubasa Yamaguchi’s manga Blue Period.

Also performing during the preview showcase was Malaysian JRock band Za Shinsei, who performed Nandemonaiya from the anime Kimi no Na Wa and Pretender, a hit song by Japanese pop rock band Official Hige Dandism.
