In recent years, New York has hosted concerts ranging from Japanese rock to symphonic game music at world-renowned venues like Madison Square Garden and Carnegie Hall. Still, the chances of a full-blown anime concert featuring a variety of the original theme song vocalists seemed remote at best.<\/p>\n

Until now. Coming to the historic Hammerstein Ballroom on November 16-17 and running concurrently with the second annual Anime NYC convention at the Jacob Javits Center, the Anisong World Matsuri concert event will make its New York debut after acclaimed performances in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Shanghai.<\/p>\n

The show will be open to anime fans and music lovers worldwide, with no Anime NYC admission required to attend.\u00a0Special VIP ticket options allow fans to meet the performers at Anime NYC where multiple on-stage Q&As and autograph sessions will be held with the concert\u2019s artists.<\/p>\n

According to a press release, Anisong World Matsuri brings together the most popular Japanese singers whose songs span the most popular contemporary anime. High-profile acts include Hironobu Kageyama, the voice behind \u201cDragon Ball Z\u201d\u2019s \u201cCha-La Head-Cha-La\u201d; Hiroshi Kitadani (\u201cWe Are!\u201d from \u201cOne Piece\u201d); TRUE (\u201cMobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans\u201d); and Luna Haruna (\u201cSword Art Online,\u201d \u201cFate\/Zero,\u201d \u201cMonogatari\u201d).<\/p>\n

Closing the event is Morning Musume, one of the biggest Japanese girl groups of all time. Celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, they will appear with their current 12-member lineup to mark the final overseas performance of Haruna Iikubo, who will graduate from the group in December at Tokyo\u2019s Nippon Budokan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s our second time performing in New York. This time we will perform at Anisong World Matsuri with the legendary artist Hironobu Kageyama,\u201d the group announced in a special message video posted online. \u201cWe are looking forward to it so much!\u201d<\/p>\n
