I gotta put my vote for ONE OK ROCK! Considering they just played that SF show (which I missed so maybe Fanime is my chance?), Fanime doesn't seem too far off, right? A lot of people's suggestions were solid and I feel like I would love to see most of those acts (AKFG, Porter Robinson, etc.). They all have something interesting for us to hear! There seem to be a lot of different possibilities with Japanese acts coming to the states to perform more often these days. Could always see if there's Aoi Eir or any other well known Ani-song singer out there right now! Those get the crowds (and my interest).

I see a lot of good names put out for this thread. I hope that Fanime will support local bands as well, at the very least for an opening act. It will give those local bands some good attention since Music Fest brings in so many people every year, and honestly I can't see how it would hurt.

Worse case scenario, the crowd can just look forward to the main act. Best case scenario, the crowd discovers good, new music, along with the main act. This just happened to me with the recent ONE OK ROCK live in SF. The opening band was really good and I'm glad ONE OK ROCK picked them. So please Fanime, hear me out and give the locals a chance!

I like this! I think it'd be nice to always give local bands a chance. If they are opening acts, then they don't need to take up a large time slot either. 30 minute sets just to warm up the main act and the crowd, and like LGstryker says, some people might find a way to find something awesome! I unfortunately wasn't able to catch ONE OK ROCK (even though I am in the area lol) but I think it's pretty awesome that they gave local bands a chance. Of course, ONE OK ROCK had jurisdiction themselves, so there is quality control in these! I had also seen a local band mentioned while in this thread. I gave them a listen and they fit the bill - it's relevant to our love for Japanese culture and it's interesting. So, I say consider Coast in the Clouds - why not?
