I would love to see the Hatsune Miku concert come to the Bay Area.

LOL....You need to get that "fix" huh?
I would personally like to see a K-pop group or artist just to mix things up a bit. I'd would be nice to get "Brown Eyed Girls" for example but that's just one name i'm throwing out there ;)

kpop groups would be awesome, but this is an anime convention, so I don't think that'll work out :\

If they're relevant to Japanese pop culture, it's possible~

MF has hosted artists/bands who have had absolutely no connection to anime (thinking back to con years 2003-2007), and the audiences have enjoyed them regardless.

I want either the beautiful Maaya Sakamoto to come and perform to the Bay Area or the lovely Lia.

On a serious point, a music guest that would actually be really good to have is Yui. I'm not the biggest fan of hers but she is a really good performer and has more than her fair share of anime songs.

Armored-Heart

Seconding Maaya Sakamoto <3

And I'll also suggest Arashi. Hey, nobody's mentioned in the thread that it had to be possible. :B
Not attending for 2014. Sorry!

Niiice, I second that. I don't adamantly listen to her, but the few albums I've listened to were pretty good.

seconding this so hard. it seems like it would be hard but it would be amazing

a really good possibility, though, is to bring mydjsobad out to have them do a show on friday or saturday night next year.

http://www.mydjsobad.com

they do a show called "Hardcore Synergy" every year at anime central with popular j-core artists like NO+CHIN and m-project. this year they even had kors k (from beatmania iidx and other bemani titles) come out and perform. it's an amazing show. mydjsobad had a booth at fanime 2010 selling cds and such. i'm not sure if eddie said that he got a booth for mydjsobad this year, but i hope so!

No booth this year, but he's coming. MyDjSoBad isn't the actual production of this, they're more just a contact with the DJs. But just to let you know in advance, suggesting them is kind of pointless. A lot of staff are actually personal friends of Eddie's and talks have been thrown around here and there. It's nice to show support though, but staff knows of the existance and Eddie+Nick know of Fanime. So if it happens it happens, if it doesn't it doesn't.

i know how it all works. i know eddie personally myself, also, via bemani and music gaming. i still hope and pray some day eddie can bring out the dudes for a show in norcal sometime, so i figured i'd plug it to show there's still a /lot/ of interest in seeing Hardcore Synergy Fanime Edition

I'd like to see supercell with nagi on vocals.
I personally do not care much for Hatsune Miku.
Doesn't sound natural enough and too many high notes.

This guy is an old MMA& UFC  (mix marital arts& ultimate fight champ) fighter retired turned to music and entertainment. His videos on youtube all have over 1million views. He has done events in New york and done events in the states so im betting he would be willing to come to fanime.
Hes new to the Japanese music and no other con to my knowledge has gotten him yet.

I was thinking of 2PM...their Japanese debut single, Take Off, is the first ending for Blue Exorcist/Ao no Exorcist. I have also noticed that Japan is going through a heavy Hallyu Wave at this moment :/

2PM I know HAS performed in SF as well as a few other US cities as the opener for the Wonder Girls (a girl kpop group). Two of the members I think know pretty good English...I know one was literally scouted in LA at the Korean Music Festival. :/ I suppose it's a start.
