This is about anikura (アニクラ) which is a portmanteau of the loan words anison (アニソン) and club (クラブ). Interestingly enough, anison itself is a portmanteau of anime (アニメ) and song (ソング) which refers to musical tracks used in various anime series and is often misspelled by adding a "g" at the end since bawka gaijins can't into nippongo properly. Regardless, anikura refers to the use of "anison" related music in a "club setting" hence the genre's name. Still confused? Lurk moar.One of the more notable anikura is Akihabara MOGRA (MOGRA for short) which has been associated with this imageboard for well over a decade. However, just limiting yourself to one venue would be a disservice since there are other livehouses and even devoted anison groups who help contribute to anikura all over Japan and the world! For those who wish to explore the anikura scene in Japan, otaku-bar.com would be a great place to start your journey.Although the primary source of anikura comes from venues in Japan, there are also shows and events held online. As previously mentioned: MOGRA is the most well known anikura which also streams a lot of their events online via Twitch. However, there are also individuals associated with MOGRA who stream online and one of them is the President of MOGRA: D-YAMA, who goes by the channel name of 'choroyama' on Twitch. MOGRA can be used as the base on discovering other venues and even DJs who also stream online.Since online streaming is the play, there are international anikura which primarily stream online and also hold physical events when available. One of the anikura group that can trace their origin to this very imageboard would be Anison Hijack which has been streaming consistently every two weeks on the Twitch platform. Obviously, there are many international anikura online and hopefully you can check them out!The following is a sample list of various anikura that stream online via Twitch.JP clubs:mogratsukiyume_jp (Tsukiakari Yumeterasu [Moonlit Dreams] in Kawasaki)akibaraizeen / akibaraizeen2f (Anison DJ Bar Raizeen)a_alchemi (Akihabara Alchemist)Comment too long.

If you love Japanese stuff so much, wouldn't the logical next step be to learn Japanese and move to Japan? I don't understand why so many self-professed otaku are seemingly allergic to Japan/Japanese people despite worshipping anything made by the Japanese.
>>51151928Well someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
>>51150763>But they will probably give you what you want: less touristsI can only speak for Sapporo but that isn't quite right. Less tourists overall than the big 3 sure, but there is still shittons of tourists, just vast majority asian. The usual koreans and chinks in both island and mainland flavors. That said, exploring Hokkaido is absolutely worth it, I highly recommend it to everyone. Lake Toya, noboribetsu etc are all worth seeing and if you like onsen I can vouch for Marukoma onsen ryokan. I wanted a remote onsen getaway with beautiful scenery with snow falling all around me and the ryokan delivered that in spades. Public transportation is a lot more inconvenient in Hokkaido than the rest of Japan though. Limited train service and buses that require pre-booking in some cases. I don't think it's impossible with 0 Japanese skills but definitely harder than Honshu or, god forbid, the big 3 where you can get away with knowing very little to no Japanese. Another thing worth checking out is Airbnb, sometimes there are cool homestay experiences. I stayed in Karuizawa with an older Japanese couple in a literal cabin in the woods.

Do you think Remilia, Flandre, and Kurumi's species of youkai, vampires, are real? There are many examples of vampire burials, or bodies seemingly buried in a manner to prevent them from coming back. For example, skeletons have been found with stakes driven through their hearts or stones placed in their mouths.
>>51153596This is probably more of an /x/ thread, but it's generally understood that those vampire panic burials were due to the normal effects of decomposition (hair/nails seeming to grow, blood leaking from the mouth, bloated stomach, etc.) being mistaken for evidence of vampirism. Thus the bodies were buried with stakes in them &c.I desperately want lolipire to be real tho
The idea of vampires being young, warm, and healthy instead of rotting corpses is certainly not real. You can certainly find people who will drink your blood, however.
>>51153677everytime i see Shinobu i need to nut
>>51153677The book ‘Vampires, Burial, and Death’ by Paul Barber claims to prove the superstition hypothesis but I have been unable to read a copy so I cannot assess its claims for accuracy. Something about that book and its adoration by skeptics feels suspicious to me. I saw a review talk about how chronic disease and acute disease can both cause bodies to decay faster, but I think that would account for the majority of dead people in the 1600s vampire incidents the book talks about. The government dug up bodies not suspected to be vampires for a control group and found different results.
>>51153683They would also be very much attracted to the Scarlet sisters, however.

Acrylic Edition.This is a thread to discuss all-female Japanese bands that play their own instruments. Individual female instrumentalists and singer-songwriters are also welcome.
>>51155131And I just thought of something. Hanabie should invite Mirei to audition for them. Hiring an ex-Girlfriend was a bullseye shot for East of Eden. The whole harajukucore concept will actually come naturally to her. She is the same age as the three founding members, and can double as Yukina's much-needed dance instructor. Mirei would not give much of a shit about the actual music style, but neither did Chika, so that won't be a problem.
>>51148410Looks like she managed it after all. Hopefully they'll post some footage.
>>51153267Yunika said they played 88 songs over the four sessions.
>>51155193I reckon she used the other leg for the bass drum. I mean it doesn't really matter since they switched places on stage for fun but it's nice to see her out there given everything that's happened recently.
>>51155269I guess they used sheet music then, like Yunika did at her early Koiai lives. Still an impressive number!

Japan is obsessed with huge tits and skinny everything else but asses are always flat or ignored. Why? Genetics? Culture? Diet? JAV is the same. Westerners are drowning in PAWGs meanwhile...
>>51151399Honestly, no one knows what’s going to happen decades from now. There isn’t scientific evidence that we are hardwired to want children. If someone gets to 50-60 and feels hollow, that’s more on society overall, not because that person failed to have children

>>51151399I experienced the opposite of this, back when I was a late teenager to like mid 20s I wanted a kid back but it's just decreased and decreased till now I'm in my early 30s and I don't care much.
