Discovering Traditional Arts
When we talk about pop culture, we mean: music maestro! And not just any music! Japan Expo takes us on a musical journey with concerts ranging from pop, rap, electro, and traditional music to giant karaoke for singing your favorite anime theme songs together. The heavy metal group Asterism joins the event to make the salon walls resonate with their vision of "mass metal" which aims to be "a metal that reaches, resonates, and is loved by the masses", relying on their meticulously composed music and unique pop sensibility.
