![]() GACKT performed on the second day, along with notable artists such as m.o.v.e, Nana Mizuki, Suara, and many others. Animelo was held at the Saitama Super Arena on August 22-23, 2009. GACKT performed three songs, ranging from new, to newish, to classic. Artists who have worked on anime theme songs, or seiyuu (voice-actors) who specialize in singing, perform. On that note, I would just like to say that despite my indifference to anime cons at large, I would have absolutely zero resistance to attending Japan’s Animelo event!Īnimelo is Japan’s largest anime-song concert. There was a Jpop dance, and they also had an “intro to Jrock” panel, which I absolutely could not stand, but nonetheless my irritation with the panelist’s incompetence really inspired me to do a better job at introducing people to (actually good) Jrock and VK.

I used to watch tons of anime– I was never that into popular stuff like Bleach or Naruto, but there were some great series that I devoured, from Samurai-spirit-imbued street racers Initial D to classic space-ified epic vengeance via Gankutsuou ~The Count of Monte Cristo. I’m not a fan of anime conventions anymore.
