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 (Anison DJ Bar Raizeen)a_alchemi (Akihabara Alchemist)r_alchemi (Ryogoku Alchemy)soundlabmole (club mole in hokkaido)musicbarbk (aka im@s themed bar in osaka)JP DJs:choroyamadjsaayaohashi_discoshan_shizuaka_tnk2 (shiono takuya)djshimamuraloligabbaInternational anikura:anisonhijackseriesai_musicneonyapartytheroundwavecrusheranicloverclubuntz_timetuneintokyoanimeltupotacos_partyohr_partyanisongpartyotagrooveLast Thread >>50600725
>>50639393> First Hyper DropDid anyone get a VOD of this? Caught the tail end last night, enjoyed what I heard, and wanted to see what I missed
>>50653767and this managed to get me to bother doing it.bootleg shrine january 23rd 2026 mp3 reencode+cuepixeldrain com/u/GD2fx9wSit was a good event.
>>50658964Nice, good work anon. Bootleg Shrine always has some great sets>>50658788Check the usual places (pawoo/@jpakg has my automated uploads and dogra bento moe/2026/ has my manual uploads), but here: pixeldrain 7a6gXrhT

>>50658964out of curiosity, why do you reencode to mp3?the source is already lossy
>>50659012bootleg shrine is probably my favorite running event. The only thing I don't like about it is that they never fucking schedule it in advance and they only announce it like two weeks from it happening.>>50663357it's just the easiest filetype that literally every device can play without issue and that even tech illiterates can understand. Yeah most things should also be able to play m4a probably but that's a weird and scary sounding filetype and if somehow it really doesn't play on whatever someone wants to listen to they're probably not going to know how to fix it and that's one less person listening to this stuff.And you're correct that it's already lossy, but I'm also re-encoding at higher values than it was recorded, so technically I'm introducing a slight file bloat but at least it isn't degrading the audio.
>>50664091fair enoughI used to do the same way back in the early days of matrix, but stopped after realizing that I was just ripping for my own collection and don't need to care about external global usability
Oldies @ MOGRA
Just found out this small ani(boka?)kura event called Now VOCALOIDing... Tuned in right on the tailend of their last set lolIt was a good set and I love that they played otoMADs in their sets as well. Definitely tuning into their next event.@NowVOCALOIDing on both Twitter and Twitch if anyone else is interested. It was only me and another person in chat when I tuned in.
>>50669106Oh shit I went back to check and the archive is still up with seemingly no parts cut or muted. Definitely gonna listen to it later. If any anon would be so kind to archive it that would be very appreciated.
>>50671186>>50669106seems neat, only 2 broadcasts though and only the older one looks like it's not been butchered by copyshit claims yetpulling down a copy to see how it is

>>50673653Thanks anon, going to be my background noise tomorrow.
