There will be shows in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Toronto, the recently-announced Chicago, New York and Mexico City. Anamanaguchi will be present at every show except Dallas and Mexico City. Tickets are available on the Miku Expo North America Tour website.
Anamanaguchi blends chiptune with more traditional instruments, with mostly instrumental music influenced by video game music, J-Pop and western electronic music. They mainly compose music for their own albums, most recently 2013’s Endless Fantasy, although they also provided the soundtrack for Ubisoft’s game adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
