Pillows - Alt/rock - FLCL soundtrack

It really warms my heart to see so many people (on twitter) asking for them to come to Fanime. I was worried that people wouldn't know who they were in this newer generation of anime-watchers. I think that the announcement of FLCL 2 coming out next year might have revived some interest? The good news is that what may have been holding them back from touring in the US for years seems to have been resolved last year (a certain former guest bassist supposedly had some visa issues), meaning there might actually be a shot at getting them! They haven't been able to come here since 2011, so it'd be great to have them make their US comeback at Fanime.

Since I attended their event at AX, I feel that I should clear up the fact that they did not perform there. It was only 6 of the 9 girls, and their event was mostly a "get to know us and the franchise" thing. No live singing or dancing was involved.

Regardless, I'd love to see them perform, too. I'm loving their music and the new season they're in.

Somewhat copy and pasted from last year's thread...

- Ohashi Ayaka. Seiyuu and singer who has done OPs and EDs. She recently released a full album. Here's a link to the official album preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnd1dBC43Fs

- Uesaka Sumire. Seiyuu who has done OPs and EDs in addition to her career as a singer. Here is one of her songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRI2dNtVPis

- SEIYUU FROM THE IDOLM@STER GAMES. If you could get a group of them, it would be incredible. im@s has done hundreds of songs in various genres. The concert would be fun no matter what, and you will get a massive group of fans to attend. Here's a link to one of the many im@s song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNLjcSKXEuc

As always to the staff, thank you for reading and for your hard work!

I know this is a super late reply, but I second a few of these recommendations.

-Granrodeo (since the lead singer also voices Chuuya from BSD, it'd be a two-in-one)
-Asian Kung-fu Generation
-Goose House
-FLOW (again please)
-Babymetal
-Joe Hisaishi
-Eir Aoi (I would die to see Eir Aoi)
-GARNiDELiA
-Sukima Switch
-BRADIO
-7!!
-EGOIST
-OreSkaBand
-Aimer (I would die to see Aimer)
-Sambomaster
-Supercell
-Kana-boon
-Nana Mizuki (here's a BIG one, not a fan of hers, but know she'd be popular)
-PelleK (would be great, but me thinks it hard to get him all the way from Norway)

I tried to be as varying as I could with my list of suggestions (Bigger Names as well as Smaller Names) and varying with genre/style. I think any of these guests would definitely be awesome/amazing.

Granrodeo- Bungou Stray Dogs! <333 (Chuya :-*)
Title: Re: Guests I Want For MusicFest 2017!!!
Post by: KyraEnsui on December 07, 2016, 01:30:57 AM
Wow. There are some really big names on some of these lists. Mashiro Ayano is still new, but she has done other songs for animes like Fate/Stay and D.Gray Man Hallow. I don't mind seeing Granrodeo, but I read that Taniyama Kishio is afraid of flying though. ^^;;

Legit question though-- Will fans be willing to pay extra admission on top of your Fanime badge to see these people? I vaguely remember there was a thread before about not wanting Fanime to ever charge extra for events but I don't think some of these artists would be possible to get unless Fanime charged extra for tickets to see them.

For me, I don't mind paying extra to see any artists to come. If fans who attended AX and bought tickets on top of their badge for AniMatsuri concert, then we can too. It would be a cool thought to see the concert perform at SAP center that's not too far from the convention center(~about 1.0 mi).

Post by: Angelx624 on January 17, 2017, 08:44:46 PM
It looks like others are suggesting Granrodeo as well!! <3 (But dammit, if they do manage to be at Fanime I just might have to bring my Chuya cosplay...... >_< )

    Best attempt to organize a list with band name in bold, followed by genre and how they might be related to Fanime (or best known)

    • Pillows - Alt/rock - FLCL soundtrack
    • One ok Rock - Rock/metal - Ruroni Kenshin (live action) and Captain Harlock
    • Baby Metal - Rock/metal - No anime relation, but would be awesome
    • Perfume - J-pop electronic - No anime relation
    • Uverworld - Alt/rock - Blue Exorcist soundtrack + more
    • Utada Hikaru - J-pop - Kingdom Hearts + more
    • Rip Slyme - Hip-hop/rap - Gantz OP
    • Dragon Ash - Rock/Hip-hop/Reggae - Battle Royale movie song
    • Base Ball Bear - Rock/pop - Bakuman, Gintama + more
    • Boom Boom Satelites - Electronic/pop - Kiznaiver OP + more
    • Porter Robinson - Electronic/dj - Anime and video game inspired show
    • Asian Kung Fu Generation - Alt/punk - Full Metal Alchemist song
    • Distant Worlds Symphony - Orchestra - Final Fantasy music performed with a full orchestra
    • Kreva - Hip-hop/rap - I just like him haha
    • M-flo - Hip-hop/pop - Appleseed: ex-machina

    A lot of these are pretty unrealistic, but I would do everything in my power to attend Fanime if any one of these artists were performing.

    A few of the more 'unique' ones are highlighted in red because they might bring a different feel to Fanime and broaden the fan base.

I would LOOOOOOOVE if Porter Robinson (and Madeon) could perform, and while they are just wrapping up the SHELTER tour (which if any of you for some reason have not seen the short film/music video I implore you to), Porter Robinson is a pretty active member in the anime community (as well as DDR/Stepmania) and used to perform at AX so its not unreasonable to think that he might.

We'd love to request ONE OK ROCK (rock/pop/emo)!

On a side note, I play with a local San Jose/San Francisco band called Coast in the Clouds, and we want to open for any act for Music Fest! We play original rock music with lyrics in both Japanese and English. We have an EP out and one music video out, and have played a lot of conventions in California. We also won various song writing contests in Japan, and get regular airplay in Japanese radio. We've been Fanime goers, with myself going since 8 years ago when I was in high school. We'd love to participate in Fanime Music Fest as the opening act, but only if you guys like our music!

Our music is also available on bandcamp, soundcloud, Spotify, Amazon, iTunes, and Google Play.

Our website: http://coastinthecloudsjp.weebly.com/
EP: https://coastintheclouds.bandcamp.com/album/re-start-2
Music Video: https://youtu.be/SIh9iyxaSQY

Thank you! Looking forward to Fanime 2017!

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 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 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?

This is who I would like to see for Musicfest or Stage Zero cause we definitely need more music related events. Plus FanimeCon also is a gaming con as well so might as well invite these bands to play Video Game Music for the con:

Super Soul Bros. FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/SuperSoulBros/?fref=ts
Mega Ran: FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/MegaRanMusic/?fref=ts
The Megas: FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/themegas/?fref=ts
Vic Viper: FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/vicviperband/?fref=ts
The Koopas: FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/thekoopas/?fref=ts
Bit Brigade: FB page: https://www.facebook.com/bitbrigade/?fref=ts
Kirby's Dream Band: FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/kirbysdreamband/?fref=ts

MusicFest and FanimeCon need music variety since there has not been any good music guests. Hopefully this will fill the void. Trust me, do check these bands out. and as for Mega Ran, HE SHOULD BE A GUEST OF HONOR for Fanime. He's awesome, down to earth, knows his stuff and his raps coverning from mega man to FF7 are hella dope. seriously.

Gackt(long shot but why not :3 )

I would really love for TOTALFAT or SPYAIR to come to Fanime!!

TOTALFAT are a punk band and are very energetic! They've done an ending theme song for naruto shippuden. Would be awesome to see them perform! And the guys seem very awesome too!!

SPYAIR has done a couple of anime songs for gintama, gundum, bleach, haikyu etc! I saw them in japan and would love to see them live again!

I'm slipping out of retirement to say something quickly. can we PLEASE announce the musical guest already? It took me a long time to take what forum members say. 1. don't go to the con if all your doing is having a bad time. and 2. Go somewhere else (In which I'm under the process of) I've been going to Fanime for the past years mainly for the musical guest. I at LEAST want to know before the hotel deadline so I can adjust my plans and see whether or not the music guest is worth sticking around for or go somewhere else to enjoy myself.

It took a VERY long time for me understand and I tried all ways. Being polite, giving the convention and staff a hard time. But I learned it really doesn't do anything. I learned by getting angry and just spouting out hate is simply unproductiv. It wastes my time and energy and it also wastes everybody else's time and energy as well. I really don't think it's unreasonable to ask that all guest announcement are made before the hotel deadline. That way, I can at LEAST plan things out.

Just FYI to anyone reading, MusicFest's twitter (https://twitter.com/FanimeMusicFest) has begun dropping hints of who they got to come.


(That already counts the pillows out...time to start promoting them for Fanime 2018...)
Title: Re: Guests I Want For MusicFest 2017!!!
Post by: Angelx624 on April 01, 2017, 06:32:13 PM
Ah yes, I saw their twitter yesterday. 5 member group, huh?? (Do you think it's possible Da-iCE is returning??? I wouldn't be upset about that at all..... *ahem* <3333 )

But that does leave Boys and Men out. But getting them would be difficult, as they are a large group(but it's a dream of mine to see them.... D: )

This also leaves Yuya out(one day he'll come back..... Dx ) and any other solo artist. Also duo groups, they're out, too......

Well, we'll just have to wait for more hints, now won't we?

Actually... he's still in the running as part of his 5 member group, X4. They're one of my top guesses for who our guest is. I just wish that it was easier to listen to their stuff, because nearly everything on youtube is blocked in the US.

Edit: Never mind, I think our second clue eliminates his group.

MUST they make this a social media game? is it unreasonable to ask that they stop playing games like this and just announce who the music group is? I'm not here to make anymore fuss then I have in the past. I just wanna know who it is so I can make final decision plans. Whether going to another convention would be more healthy for me or sticking around for another time and simply accepting how the convention would be better.

Is it going to be a rock band? An idol or boyband group? ANYTHING would be helpful.

I can get why it'd be annoying for someone who still hasn't decided to come to Fanime, but for my friends and I, we're Sherlock Holmes-ing this thing with spreadsheets and research. We originally had 22 possible groups, and I'm going to go through the list now and eliminate those who don't fit the second clue. So...the guessing is fun while we wait for everything to be set in stone. If anything, it means that we're really close to having an announcement soon.

Edit: We've gotten the list down to about 10 groups. Who knows if we're even close to right, though.  ;D

Yeah, it does. xDD

Argh, I thought I had it with like, two bands but then when I check if the Oricon hint matches..... it's a miss.

This is driving me insane like last year. x___x But it's also kinda fun.

Gackt(long shot but why not :3 )
Granrodeo(as stated before, but I'll keep them here as well ^^ )
OldCodex(they were amazing at AX last year. *-* Would love to see them at Fanime! )
Yuya Matsushita(he was a guest at Fanime 2011 and he basically made my entire con <3 Still waiting for his return! )
SCREEN mode(they sing the OP to the second half of Bungou Stray Dogs! ^^ )
Dean Fujioka(we were born to ship Victuri!! XD I mean he sings History Maker, the OP to Yuri on Ice :3 )
Joe Inoue(cause he is awesome and his songs are great :'D )
Polysics(I've known about them for a while and am finally checking out their music!! They're awesome. XD )


That's all I can think of for now. I'll add more later. XD

Had that second clue not tripped me up, I would have placed X4 as my top guess since the first clue. Tricky, tricky MF staff... ;)

I know it's probably a long shot, but does anyone in guest relations think that maybe they can convince...Teichiku Records? to make the groups' music videos available in the US to watch on Youtube? Doesn't seem to do them any favors when the go-to source for Fanime attendees to find out what X4 is like is blocked. Thankfully, I've found one easy, legal way to support them through Google Music's streaming service, which has a few of their albums on it, but music videos would be even better.

I've suggested him in the past. I don't know why Fanime won't get him. :( He said to me that he would definitely take up the offer if they offered him. So yeah. He doesn't even need a translator, since he speaks both English and Japanese. ><

Seen him this year and in 2016 in Kawaii Kon. Very fun and amazing guy.  My advice? if you can save up money, travel to see a guest you are absolutely dying to see.

I would love to see Joe Inoue!!

Not sure if you guys saw, but the guest for MusicFest 2017 was just announced today. It's X4 & Yuya Matsushita. Never heard of either, but am sure they'll be great.

X4 is actually Yuya's group. I don't think he'll be performing his own solo music, but hey, he might. The main reason they mention Yuya specifically is because he was one of our musical guests when FLOW came back for a second time in 2011.

For anyone who isn't sure if they want to go to MusicFest this year:

When I went to the 2011 concert, I was specifically going for FLOW and didn't give Yuya a second glance. My friends and I had written him off as a filler act before FLOW. Boy, were we wrong. By the end of his performance, we were all cheering loudly and were enthralled with his performance. You could tell he gave 110% to his act. That night, I definitely became a fan. I think I still hold 2011 as the best MusicFest I've been to and he is part of the reason. So for those who haven't yet seen him (and his group), give them a chance. You might be very surprised.

Oh don't worry, Fanime's bringing Yuya back, and I've been dying to see him return. So problem solved. >:3

@kuudere - I was the opposite in 2011! I went JUST to see Yuya and left after he performed. Didn't really care much for Flow back then. ^^;

I second this, Joe Inoue lives in California and he performed "Closer" for Naruto Shippuden. With the voice actor for Itachi coming it would be good hand in hand. I saw on youtube that he performed for Kawaii con in Hawaii recently so maybe he should available for Fanime?

If it was one of our staff that convinced X4's people to unblock their youtube for the US, thanks - you're awesome! The videos play for me now. Now I can get properly hyped!

(Should I start the next MusicFest request thread? Seems weird starting it before the previous con even happened, but I don't want a bunch of music guest requests getting lost in the main guest request thread that's already been posted...)
