D00d. I don't know about anyone else, but Thee Out Mods totally pwned every band from Japanfiles. So um... Whatever. Bring back Japanfiles if you want, but don't diss TOM. D; Sana is fucking sexy.

We understand that there will be a bit of big named bands at MusicFest but could it be possible for start up bands to get introduced at musicfest as well? Just asking...

We've been pretty surprised at the willingness of some cons, both big and small in attendance size, to take a chance at start up bands like ours. We do hope to get the chance to perform at this years music fest though. A couple of our members are regular fanime attendees and we thought it would be really cool to get to perform this year. :)

[ewu]

best would be to contact them in this post: http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,11191.msg295388.html#msg295388

Mari Iijima and God of Shamisen were great!

Hey this is Mark from the band God of Shamisen. I'm really trying to book us at MusicFest for 2009! If I can arrange it with Fanime and with our own touring schedule, it would be great.

I'll try posting in the band suggestion thread too.

Whoever is booking MusicFest this year -- please contact us. :)
Hopefully it will work out schedule-wise.

it would be better if you contacted them at musicfestATfanimeDOTcom

With no response I didn't want to pester, but I will try that again.

EDIT: ok, got in communication with someone now. Thanks ewu  :)

[bluechokobo]

But...let's try to keep it somewhat realistic ^^;;

So is it Utada or Ayumi this year??

Namie Amuro?  ;D

Actually, Namie isn't impossible to get. She'd take some work to get, but far from impossible.

I just wonder why you would want her...

Though... MAXX GOT BACK TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!! (I'd honestly be surprised if anyone on this forum outside of like 2 people actually listened to MAXX)

I know people's tastes differ but Naime started to become relavent again.  Her singles/CD's have been doing a lot better then she did during her Genius 2000 phase. 

While I would love to see her I have a feeling a rock band that is less popular in Japan but would get the girls in a frenzy here would do a lot better for the con.  Which makes me very sad ;_; to say

[PrincessCake]

I have to say i'm a little freaked out by people in here. Getting mad just cause some guy bashed the way the convention is.

get a life people.

[ewu]

I don't know, I think its justified to be a little worked up if someone came along and said that the many hours of work you have put in over the the course of months was worthless. Especially if you know that this event was clearly popular and successful.

These people have lives and spend a good 40 hours a week making a living. They also spend many more hours a week planning events such as Musicfest to make Fanime a success. These people work hard because they are proud of what they do, and so when someone talks shit about something they have put unpaid and unrecognized time, heart and soul into, it sure strikes a nerve.

I respect those that I work with at Fanime and its not cool for others to take their work for granted and disrespect them.

The only comment I have is to make sure we don't schedule MusicFest and the Black and White ball on the same night. The audatorium for An Cafe would have been full if not for that. You (staff) already know that though and everyone could tell they (AnCafe) were sad it wasn't full. So although I'm pretty sure you all know this, just reminding you for the sake of the bands.

An Cafe was amazing by the way. Thanks a million for getting them. I hope we get someone good this year too.  :D

[belldandyamz]

I agree the concert should not be at the sametime as the Black and white dance.

As far as music fest goes
I had a blast last year. "ALL AGES" was my fav of the day.
but I hear their drummer left the band....so I'll leave that up to fanime staff.

I realy would like Kristine SA to perform
she is a regular for the concert part of ani-jam every year but, there is no Ani-Jam this year:(

She would be great for the concert as well.
But I know she would realy be fun to have at the music fest.

Sorry to disappoint you but MusicFest and the Black & White Ball will be on the same evening of May 24th.

Counter-programming is important to us so that we give everyone at the convention a chance to do something that they are interested in. Not all 15,000 people can be inside the Civic nor at the Ball or Dance.

I understand that too. It is important that you don't have thousands of con goers bored out of their mind. I just hope the bands don't suffer because of it. I'm not as dramatic as some of the other fans; but there are some that are worried that big-ass bands won't come back because they feel under appreciated. Mostly of course I'm talking about AnCafe fans who were concerned that the only US destination on their world tour seemed to be kind of bum (attendance wise.) Nowit's obvious that they're being dramatic, but they do have a valid concern. So if we are getting any major bands I really hope that the same thing doesn't happen to them.

On another note... I will never understand why the attendance was so poor (overall, not totally.. there was a line out the door and down the street!) seeing as advertisments for AnCafe seemed to be EVERYWHERE. It also does not help that I personally do not think very highy of the Black and White ball cause there really isn't very much actual ballroom dancing and WAY too many people to be comfortable. But to each their own. =)

Erase.

I'm looking forward to Music Fest, only for Keshiki.
