The latest entertainment event “Anime Rave Festival” (commonly known as AniRev), where people enjoy anime songs in a club, was held for the first time on June 1st at MUSINSA GARAGE in Seoul, Korea as “KIMCHIKURA×AniRAVE×OMOTENASHI BEATS”, with artists putting on DJ sets and live performances.
The approximately 550 Korean audience members who gathered at the venue were thrilled by the anime songs.
AniRev is a cutting-edge event that combines anime songs and club culture. The first event was held in 2018, and this year marks its 6th year as a much-anticipated event in the anime song world.
This event has been a hot topic due to the appearance of a number of impressive artists, including the organizer motsu, as well as DJ KOO and SKY-HI, and it was held in Japan in March of this year for the first time in two years.
This will be the first time the event is held in Korea, and is a collaboration between Korea’s largest anime song DJ event “KIMICHIKURA” and Japan’s “AniRAVE.” Performers will include Dave Rodgers, Arisa Komiya, Shinichiro Kamio, and DJ Meguchee, members of the anime song x club music project “OMOTENASHI BEATS,” which entertains people from all over the world with beats of “anime songs,” one of Japan’s world-class cultures.
Tickets were sold out. The venue was packed with anime song fans all the way to the back of the floor, showing just how popular Japanese anime songs are in Korea.
The venue was filled with excitement from the opening, and during Komiya Arisa’s stage, the audience waved their penlights, filling the floor with color, as a call-and-response unfolded.
After that, the members continued to liven up the floor, and when Dave Rodgers appeared on stage, the excitement in the venue rose all at once.
The audience responded to the up-tempo songs with incredible volume, and some were seen singing along, continuing through the encore with their excitement still high.
Komiya, who was performing at this event for the second time, and DJ Meguchee, who was performing for the first time, commented after their performance, “I was surprised! They were so excited, and they understood Japanese perfectly!”, seeming surprised by the enthusiasm of the Korean fans.
Komiya expressed her gratitude, saying, “When I appeared on the show last year, I heard that you were studying Japanese through anime and other things. Today, I really felt that, and I was happy to feel that you love Japanese anime and the works that we are involved in.”
Komiya continued, “We got together in Korea this time, but we’ll be performing together again on June 22nd at AniRev!” DJ Meguchee couldn’t help but express her hopes for future collaborations, saying, “I’m so happy! I fell in love so much during this performance together! I think we’ll be able to show you a collaboration stage someday and various other stages in the future, so I’ll do my best to perform together at the next AniRev and beyond, so please come and see us!”
Dave Rodgers replied with still-excited excitement, “My first time in Korea was amazing! I love everyone who came to see us! I’ll be back soon! Let’s all sing together!”
Anirev was also a huge hit in Korea.
The next event will be held on June 22nd at GARDEN Shinkiba FACTORY as “AniRAVE FEVER!!!!!”
The event will be three times larger than the one held in Daikanyama in March this year, and will feature an all-star lineup of performers including MOTSU, as well as Komiya Arisa, who appeared this time, DJ Meguchee, Nakamura Eriko, Serizawa Yu, Tokui Sora, Takatsuki Kanako, and Nanami Urara, who will be DJing and performing live.
