I got news from friends at VIZ Media of the J-Pop Summit street festival in two weeks on Saturday, 8/15 in Japantown San Francisco. It's also their grand opening for the NEW PEOPLE building, which will be housing some cool Japanese stores and a theater run by VIZ.

In addition to the usual food and booths from local vendors, there are going to be concerts, video premieres, fashion shows, and a special appearance by Yoshitaka Amano (of Final Fantasy artwork fame).

Looks like they're also going to screen Kamikaze Girls the night before for free... this is going to be an interesting place for bay area fans...

Anyone going? I'm going to try to make it, depending on whether I'm working on Fanime that weekend or not.  :P

You should go just on principal!

Most likely going to go, mostly to see the new digs and that The Noodles is going to play at 1pm. BayAnime.com is also going to have a meetup as well!


Kazuko

Of course you should go c: I know that they are going to have a kawaii fashion show hosted by 6%DOKIDOKI and the CEO's of Black Peace Now and Baby the stars shine bright with their head designers will be there ~O:

Of course I will be there. Gotta support my number one brand Baby the stars shine bright!

Haha... this could be "Fanime Work"... if I were running MusicFest again, that would be a legitimate excuse, but not nowadays.  ;D

The Noodles are worth it by themselves, I'd say, but I'm biased since I like girls that rock.

It's good to hear that other people are doing gatherings. My contact said people are going on road trips just to see this, which is pretty cool.

We really should get The Noodles for Music Fest.

I would also say DEERHOOF, but I don't want to be greedy :P.

But yeah this looks like it is going to be fun!

The Fashion show is hosted by Baby and Black Peace now its featuring all the clothes that were debuted in Paris Japan Expo so its quite a real treat! I get to see one of my dream dresses in person!

Baby is actually opening this sat at 12noon lol the Founder of baby Akinori Isobe will be there along with Japan's Kawaii ambassador and Baby the stars shine bright /lolita model Misako Aoki will be present along with Alice and the Pirates Designer Kumiko Uehara.

Also baby is doing a Tea party but tickets are available for only the first 50 people that spend over 200 dollars there (lol thats like one dress)

There was an application process for baby where you had to send in a resume and photo (I know that coz I applied there and got an interview)

Stythys

just to let people know, we have a group meeting up at the powell BART around 10:20, and then going to Jtown and meeting up with a bunch more people at the info booth (as seen here) around 11, when everything starts!
