NipponCon 2014 would like to thank Asterplace for joining our performance roster! 

Show Time: 5:00pm

The Asterplace is a New York City based Tokyo melodic-core and Japanese anime rock band from Tokyo, Japan. They perform worldwide at rock festivals & Anime/culture conventions, mostly in North America & EU.  They also have excellent language skills, speaking fluent English, Mandarin Chinese, Korean, and needless to say, “Japanese” as their mother tongue.  “The Asterplace” can be defined as creating beautiful music, much like the beauty of a flower blossoming each year, representing the beautiful melody the band’s music creates. As the sun shines upon the world, as the moonlight upon the atmosphere, The Asterplace projects their music to the world. So far The Asterplace has performed at more than 30 conventions as musical guests. Their performances at Anime NEXT, Kotoricon, Zenkaikon, Tribeca film festival, Armageddicon, Sakura Matsuri at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Sakura Matsuri in D.C. are only a few of their musical endeavors thus far. Furthermore, their first tour in Germany during 2013 was a great success.

This company offered us 3 boxed sets of their series to use as prizes, as well as offering us screening rights for the convention. These will be used as prizes during several of the larger events.  Thank you Rightstuf for all of your support.

DJ Nawty started out as an Internet radio DJ back in the mid 90’s, for fun. When gaming on line became big , She started playing a VR game called The Sims…

Nippon Ai would like to welcome Warm and Comfy to their performance roster.
