I guess we follow the same rules as with the guests of honor thread(even the exclamation points Nina Star 9 used).
So yeah, civility and stuff, people.
Now for my personal choice, I think Fanime REALLY needs to start booking at least one idol group. This is one area where the convention is sorely lagging behind of pretty much every other con. Sakura-con, AX and even the upcoming Japan-expo are booking idol groups. This type of music is slowly on the rise here in the American anime scene and we need not to be left behind.
First I suggest Afilia Saga. The group is small in name recognition but still has devoted fans. I can see them putting a good show, and certain members would make for great Q&A sessions (Kohime!). Their music was featured in the anime Steins; Gate(so there's the anime connection right there). The group is made up of twelve girls but they do shows on occasion with 4-6 members(in case of Fanime budget matters).
A second pick would be Dempagumi Inc. They have already been scheduled to play J-expo in august, but that leaves a whole year for their return if they were to come to Fanime. The girls are very energetic and put on great shows. This would make for an awesome Music Fest.
So yeah. Get working on it, staffers. I don't want my wota moves to go to waste,
Could you have Steam Powered Giraffe at least open? Fanime has had english speaking bands open before. They were a blast and it would be cool to see them on a big stage.
I'd love to see/listen to Gazette or Abingdong Boys School play. Heh.
I really want to see some Kpop groups! >o>// I know of a couple of groups who have performed at anime cons before. I'd recommend VIXX, B.A.P, EXO or some other rookie groups and usually it's easier to get them to come abroad for performances. I know VIXX has performed at Otakon and KCON, while Exo and B.A.P have only done KCON...but still! I really want to see some groups!!!
Funkist or Chihiro Yonekura
I'd like to see the gazettE and SuG. They're both visual kei bands. I would say the gazettE's music is a lot more heavier and SuG would be a more pop rock. They'd be both enjoyable to have at fanime con.
I also agree with the idol groups. +1 for Afilia Saga
*rolls on the ground*
As much as I would like to sees visual-kei band come, maybe something more mainstream would be good too....
ONE OK ROCK I'd love to see.
Thanks for 7!! this year though! I'm glad I asked for them last time. 8D
MOMOIRO CLOVER Z!!!!!
Just found these guys so I gotta request them:
MAN WITH A MISSION
^^^
Oh, so THIS is where the thread's been hiding! No wonder there wasn't one in the "Ideas and Suggestions" forum. Ahaha.... xDD;;
Anyways, I would LOVE to finally see SuG come to Fanime!! Since they're finally back from their hiatus(or so they announced, anyway...) I figure it could finally be possible to get them?? Unless they've become too popular. But since we had LM.C, I figured there was a chance? ;w;
Some other suggestions of mine would be:
Piko
Gackt(shush a girl can dream)
Kamijo
Psychic Lover
AAA
Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
LM.C
Yuya Matsushita
Nightmare
NEWS
So ya... those are all my suggestions for now. ^^;;
I'm hoping to see any upcoming artists or someone who's previously not known very well. I'm hoping for some Utaites such as Nano :3.
Keep the suggestions coming. We are recording every guest suggestion made.
Turns out MAN WITH A MISSION will be on their spring tour in Japan :'( :'( :'(, so here are some other ones I'd like to see~
-Maximum the Hormone
-Sadie
-SCANDAL
-Ikimonogakari
-HOME MADE KAZOKU
Other popular bands that I don't know too well but think that their genre might be fun for general audiences as well as j-music aficionados would be along the lines of
-SPYAIR
-ASIAN KUNG-FU GEN
-Crossfaith
-coldrain
-bump of chicken(?)
It looks like my list isn't repping any idol groups xD ...I'll trust the other fanime-goers to give you requests on that since I don't know or like them enough to really know what's good. Please have a band come too though! D:
FLOW-esque/ROOKiEZ-esque energetic bands are really fun for everyone, I think! Sorry I can't really explain =-= I'm in the midst of studying for finals and my brain's gone on vacation without me.
I'd really really really love to see an idol act or two come to Fanime! My favourite idol group is AKB48, but I don't see that happening, so:
*Shoko Nakagawa. she's a hardcore otaku-type of idol and she sings a lot of themes for anime. She's already been to Anime Expo 2008, but it wouldn't hurt for her to come to the States again.
*9nine is also a good idol group and they also contribute to anime soundtracks and such.
*Nogizaka46 is related to AKB48, but they have a couple of anime theme songs and they're really good!
*any Hello!Project group, but especially Juice=Juice
---
For non-idol acts, I'd really love to see Miho Fukuhara (who's contributed to a couple of anime soundtracks), PUFFY (Puffy AmiYumi in the US), ONE OK ROCK, and Nami Tamaki.
I agree with 9Nine, but why not try for LesPros Entertainment's other group, Babyraids?
I would also like to see Halko Momoi and 7!! to come back.
Kanako Itou
Dempagumi inc.
Kalafina
Asami Imai (doubles as a Japanese VA guest)
(and Momoiro Clover Z..... :P)

Yoo Maximum the Hormone! Ajikan and Bump of Chicken are also on my list also.
Other than that, it would be cool seeing Depagumi inc, Lovendor, and Perfume. :D
I would like: Ikimonogakari, Yuyoyuppe, Shoohey, and the Gazette. BABYMETAL and Foreground Eclipse too! + Kyary & Nano (she's a talented Japanese-American singer)
Although, if anyone want Korean pop groups--I would totally recommend Infinite. They also had their world tour stop in San Jose in November and I totally want to see them again for Fanime.
Otherwise, please bring Yuyoyuppe/DJ TEKINA here! Also, the band MEDY which Yuyoyuppe is the lead.
It'd be pretty cool to see Halko Momoi return to Fanime again...
ClariS or Babyraids would sure be nice.
Instead of editing old posts please make new posts with additional suggestions to ensure I get notified that there is a new suggestion.
Ah yes, Kpop groups. I would love to see some come to Fanime, as well, though idk what everyone else would say in the fact that besides a couple bands, they don't have too much to do with anime. D: However, some of them have a lot of Japanese songs, like Boyfriend and U-KISS for example. So maybe they'd be a good fit? :3
Anyways, also wanted to add Jupiter(Versailles' new band, excluding Kamijo) to the list of suggestions. ^^
Doll$box
Supercell
:D
Adding a second post because I came up with more idol suggestions that I'd love to see:
PASSPO*
palet
predia
I just watched a live DVD of PASSPO*'s and they're great live so I feel like a concert of theirs would be great to attend. palet and predia are their sister groups (aka they're all from the same agency Platinum Passport) and would be cool to see too.

Hello! I have no new recommendations but Yuyoyuppe said on his official Facebook page that he wants to go to various of places and he's waiting for offers. I really want him to come to Fanime. He said that he just needs a call. I just wanted to let you know. Thank you! ^-^
Yuyoyuppe would be such an awesome guest! :D
Denki Groove.
Would asking for girl groups be a little too much? I'd love it if Kiniro Mosaic's Rhodante came to sing, or even Yuru Yuri's VAs. Either that, or bands/groups from anime that are actually relevant-- considering time? I'd love to see groups from anime that are either this season or maybe a maximum of 2 seasons ago-- I'm sick and tired of hearing groups from long running anime or just anime that shouldn't be relevant anymore(aka, 2-3+ years ago).
And +1 on Babyraids and other groups like Berryz Koubou, C-ute, or Juice=Juice.
last year's guests were super amazing. i would hope this year's music guests
will also make the concerts amazing like ROOKIEZ and 7!! let's see... here are
my suggestions and hope FANIME would look into it:
SPYAIR
THE ROOTLESS
Gran Rodeo
DOES
SCANDAL
Nico Touches the Wall
AKFG (Asian Kung-Fu Generation)
Lisa
Aoi Eir
SID
I agree that 7!! and rookiez is punk'd hit it last year for 2013. They made the audience involved and made us sing along with them. I thought that was awesome. The energy was there and I felt it. I don't mind them coming back for 2014 so if you can bring them back then that'll be awesome.
Some singers/bands that think should come to Fanime are
Shihoko Hirata -Her songs were used in the Persona 4 anime and game. Her songs are in english, but nonetheless it sounds amazing. I can see people getting energized from one of her songs "Reach Out To The Truth First Battle" and "Sky's the limit"
Nico Touches the Walls -Amazing Rock songs I think they would really hit it for Fanime 2014. Songs played from Naruto Shippuden and Full metal Alchemist Brotherhood.
Supercell/Egoist/Nagi - They played songs in animes such as Guilty crown and Bakemonogatari. Good choice if going for slow music.
LiSA - She play songs for Fate/Zero, Angel beats!, Sword Art Online. Not sure if she want wants to come back to the USA, but she has some really good rock songs.
Link horizon - They played songs for Shingeki No Kyojin, a really popular anime series.
STYLE FIVE - The did songs from Free!
Some other good choices are Eir aoi, Asian kung fu generation, Home made kazoku, Scandal, Yuya, Flow, Shank, Four get me a not, Gazette
I am looking forward to this years Fanime music fest if any of the bands/singers I listed get announced. 2013 Fanime music fest was the best. It was my first time going and it was on a whim. My friends told me to go so I went. I didn't realize that I enjoyed it so much. Thank you Fanime Staff :D
Forgot to mention, but it'd be awesome if Kiryu(band) performed for Music Fest. *u*
ClariS
*Psychic Lover (really loving their more recent work)
*FLOW (They really want to return and we want to see more of them, right?)
*Linked Horizon
*Kalafina
I would love to see Matsushita Yuya and/or (preferably and XD) May'n! ;D
Babymetal!!
Kalafina
Kanon Wakeshima
^__^

Back on topic, how crazy would it be if Sid played? I'd have nothing left to live for.

Oh dear I cannot remember. o__o;; It was back in 2010 and I was still a new fan to them back then. ;w;" I think someone posted a setlist from it somewhere......

I really like Yellow Beauty too, so I was a bit sad they didn't play it. It's not one of their main songs, though, so I understand why they didn't.
I was a bigger fan back then, and waited in line for a looong time to get up close. xD
I really miss them. ;n; Hopefully someday they can come back.
L'Arc~en~Ciel :D
Wanted to add more
Tomohisa Sako -ShounenT He does covers of vocaloids songs and has his own singles. His voice is amazing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R393XXWwp2Q
Kana-boon they play rock songs
Here is a sample
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgS7vgquBvo
Would like to suggest
BABYMETAL
Don't know why I didn't add them in my previous post.
No doubt BABYMETAL would be a great addition to the guest list.
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!
I wish some of my favorites could return like:
An Cafe
LM.C
Flow
But if that isn't the case then I would love to see:
Asian Kung-fu generation
Perfume
Kamijo
Kanon Wakeshima
One Ok Rock
Uverworld (if they still are a band)
and maybe just maybe
That super crazy Miku 3D concert experience I think this would be the neatest thing to see.
If I could see AKB48 live I could die happy (I didn't become a fan until after their appearance at AX2010 unfortunately)
Also Kalafina would be amazing!
i would love to see....
Abingdon Boys School
Uverworld
Flow (again)
Rookies is punked (again)
Aqua Timez
Fire Bomber aka Yoshiki Fukuyama
JAM Project
Inoue Joe
Hemenway
Home Made
Mizuki Nana
May'n & Megumi Nakajima
Hiroshi Kitadani
The Rootless
and Wada Kouji (for personal reasons :P )
Cant wait to see who does show up this year!
I'd love to see
- the pillows
- BABYMETAL
- Kana Nishino
- Kalafina
- GO!GO!7188
- supercell (assuming they have a singer that actually appears in front of people, now)
- Nirgilis
- Crystal Kay
- Tommy Heavenly6
- Ore Ska Band
- Etsuko Yakushimaru
- Coaltar of the Deepers
- School Food Punishment
I agree that Fanime needs some idols too.
I would like to request: Danceroid, Ayumi Hamasaki, Koda Kumi, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu,
Can we also request Vocaloids/Project diva(?)/hologram concert?
Can we invite some youtubers as well?
And if Kpop idols are also included. Can we request- SHINee, Infinite, Miss A, After School,
Granrodeo or angela would be really cool because they both rock.
I don't think I've mentioned CHARISMA.COM (their webpage is http://official-charisma.com/)
Kana Nishino would be a beautiful addition to the line up. She's got a killer voice-she's contributed to Naruto ('If" I believe is the song) I think song wise and a couple of dramas. Not to mention she's featured in a lot of the fashion magazines as well so she's super well rounded. Tsubasa Masuwaka is also singing now and did a Fairy Tail opening theme and is obviously a huge fashion icon. XD
Band wise I think SuG would be really popular!

And she sings "Style", one of the ED for Soul Eater, which no doubt will be recognizable.

I definitely think they would be, too!! Then again I've been wanting Fanime to book them for a couple years, now. I just know they'd put on a very fun show!! <3
So....... what's happening? We're still getting a Music Fest this year, right? What's the current status on getting music guests?
I'm just really curious cause there still isn't a full Fanime website, yet, so I'm just really concerned.
IOSYS Please for all the touhou fans...
I was pretty sure I made a reply, but nonetheless! Can we request Kpop groups?
I'd really hope for:
SHINee
Infinite
Miss A
Rania
SNSD
BoA
JYJ/TVXQ (individual or group)
But other popular idols are also: Big Bang, Super Junior, f(x), 2NE1
Id love to see L'arc~en~Ciel or Access...
Quote from: NeoCrimson on March 07, 2014, 11:20:23 PM
May'n

May'n is coming to SF and LA this summer actually
