VOCALOCK MANIA, an event featuring Vocaloid producers that ended with great success in January this year, has been scheduled to be held as a DJ event at club JOULE in Osaka and as a live event at Zepp Shinjuku (TOKYO) in Tokyo in August 2024.
The event will be held for the first time at Otemachi Mitsui Hall in January 2023 and will feature three corners: a sales session, a Vocaloid DJ performance, and commentary on the artist’s own songs.
Ver. 2, held at TFT Hall in January 2024, featured live performances by Hitorie and MikitoP, a stage where creators such as Hifumi and Hanyu Maigo opened project files and explained their songs, a sales event where people could purchase new goods and old albums from creators that they would not normally be able to meet, and some booths had long lines, a sponsored area where people could try out instruments and DAWs provided by sponsors, and a karaoke booth where you could enter on the spot. Tickets for this Vocaloid P-focused event, which could be enjoyed in a festival-style format for a day, sold out quickly and became a hot topic.
It has now been decided that a more themed version 3 will be held in August at two venues in Tokyo and Osaka, and the following five people have been announced as the third round of additional performers.
The opening act for the Osaka DJ event will be DJ “wari aka SAYONARA MiRAI”, who began working as a DJ in Nagoya in 2016 and works under the alias Vocaloid Producer “Sayonara Mirai” while also hosting the DJ event “Yonehachife”.
At the live event in Tokyo, it has been decided that he will be DJing on a different floor.
The DJs to appear will be “gaburyu”, a member of the music unit “LanPage”, whose formation was recently announced and has been a hot topic, and who creates songs that feature music videos using 3DCG, centered around the “Maid Sant Witch Series”. The unit has delicate music and a unique worldview; “SEE”, who has been appearing at this event since ver.0 and continues to expand the scope of his activities by hosting the event “Tokyo City is a Parallel World” and performing in a band; “higma”, who creates gentle music and has produced his representative songs “Monologue at the Window” and “GOGO Skyscraper”, as well as “Bubble”, which became a hot topic at last year’s Vocaduo 2023; and “picco”, who has produced songs centered around Future Bass, such as his representative songs “Melty Magic” and “Tokyo Future Girl”.
“gaburyu”, “SEE”, and “higma” have also been confirmed to appear at the VOCALOCK MANIA DJ NIGHT, which will be held as the eve of VOCALOCK MANIA ver.3. Please come along to see them too.
General sales will start today at Lawson Ticket. Both Osaka and Tokyo are must-sees. There are only a few tickets left for the Osaka event, so it’s a good idea to buy yours early. Don’t miss this chance to come and see VOCALOCK MANIA.
