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)r_alchemi (Ryogoku Alchemy)soundlabmole (club mole in hokkaido)musicbarbk (aka im@s themed bar in osaka)vocabuki (vocaloid focused club)iv_akihabaraanthem_akibamilularisabaco_wasedahyplace_nagoyaJP events:NowVOCALOIDingvocaloid_twilightamendahaCrossNotesOfficialJP DJs:choroyamadjsaayaohashi_discoshan_shizuaka_tnk2 (shiono takuya)djshimamuraloligabbakillherdjosssssaInternational anikura:AnisonHijackseriesai_musicneonyapartytheroundwavecrusheranicloverclubuntz_timetuneintokyoanimeltupotacos_partyohr_partyanisongpartyotagrooveCheers_39AniMiraiClubInfrastructure edition (let's all make more bots to be more resilient)Previous thread >>51181946
>>51227939this 2 week bump limit thing really sucks assshame because the threads were reasonably active before that happened and started killing off participation
>check mogra schedule for september>it's already mostly populatedwell, shit. And here I thought it was going to be time for another bootleg shrine. Maybe it'll show up in one of the TBA spots in October.>>51229969tbdesu it's just a 4chinz getting significantly worse thing than anything else. Every board is getting worse, significantly more so over the past year, due to completely ineffective moderation. They keep opening jannie applications without actually accepting anyone, actual moderators do fuck all and never get increased in number, etc. It's unfortunate but 4chins is in its death throes, but for actually really real this time. Which is a shame because it's signaling the loss of a massive amount of western net subculture.

girls night @ vocabukianison edition
anisong_midwest_project is liveI don't know who they are yet but hey anison.
>>51236002Tuning into the western ones is always cursed.
>>51236035eh its fine if you just keep a tab active in the background and don't sit ther watching a few weird looking zombies awkwardly shambling aroundlooks like they're based out of chicago, so I'm surprised all the audio gear hasn't been stolen yet
another month another folder added I know there are a few old collectors still around, hopefully you have access to some of the missing shows and can upload them somewhere, even temporarily it'd be greatly appreciated
>>51236320Strangely enough it seems I have the exact same holes in my main collection as you do (though larger), probably because we grabbed them from the same sources.>2011-03>GAP>2012-09>2012-10>GAP>2014-04>2014-05>GAP>2014-08 I do have my own partial rips spanning basically all events from 2012-11 through to 2014-05 but my internet was absolute dogshit back then and my Ustream ripper was unreliable so those rips are extremely fragmented and incomplete. I can share what I have if you really want it but prepare to be disappointed.
>>51236395yeah most of my earliest stuff is from the original archive project Mega folder since I wasn't really paying attention/participating until 2015 or so no need to upload known fragmented/incomplete stuff on my behalf, appreciate the offer though
