This thread is for the discussion of anison (anime song), the genre of music made specifically for anime. Whether it be dedicated anime singers, voice actors, idols, as long as the song was made for an anime, it belongs here. Discuss your favorite anison artists and anime songs, and share your events and experiences!

Discussion of doujin music, anikura, idols, seiyuu (outside of their music careers), and mainstream Japanese artists go in their respective threads.

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:
mogra
tsukiyume_jp (Tsukiakari Yumeterasu [Moonlit Dreams] in Kawasaki)
akibaraizeen / akibaraizeen2f (Anison DJ Bar Raizeen)
a_alchemi (Akihabara Alchemist)

Now that Sony isn't releasing any more physical copies of games, what do you think is going to happen to the CDs, BD, music and the doujin scene in Japan?
Do you think the Japanese are going to follow a digital only approach in the future or will they continue to produce physical media?
1 reply omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>51093844
Digital-only is just incompatible with doujin culture. Like, the point of doujin conventions is people selling self-published physical goods via hand-to-hand transactions.
>>
>>51096312
Not necessarily for doujin games. Those are already commonly available digitally on storefronts like dlsite. It's allowed even someone like me with zero access to doujin events to buy a copy and support the devs for a doujin VN they released over a decade ago. While having physical discs of doujin games is certainly appealing, the software itself is the main content either way.
Though I do agree that digital-only is incomparable when it comes to doujinshi.
>>
>>51093994
>Sony is an unique case, because they do not make games, they make consoles to play games. In theory, there is nothing stopping developers from releasing a physical copy of the game, it is just that there will be nothing to play it on.
You're wrong actually. All physical disc production for Playstation games goes through Sony.
