  • Anisama World Live in Manila: Anime’s Biggest Music Festival Hits the Philippines!

    For the first time, anime music fans in the Philippines got to experience the spectacle that is Animelo Summer Live, better known as Anisama, right in our backyard. Held at the New Frontier Theater on June 7, the Manila leg marked a historic debut for the world’s biggest anisong festival. 

    For anime fans, Anisama is something of a holy grail. Born in 2005 and held annually in Saitama, it’s a gathering of some of the biggest artists behind the soundtracks that shaped entire generations of anime watchers. It’s a celebration of music, idol culture, video games, vocaloids, and the emotional worlds we attach to fictional characters.

    All Together Now
    The night opened and ended in ensemble fashion. Hiroshi Kitadani, voice actor and veteran anisong performer, led the full lineup in “We Are!”, the first One Piece opening theme and a sacred text for anime fans.

    Midway, the crowd was treated to two more all-hands-on-deck moments— one featuring nobodyknows+’s hip-hop classic “Kokoro Odoru” from SD Gundam Force, and another when FLOW ignited the room with “GO!!!”, the iconic Naruto opening that never fails to send a crowd into overdrive.

    Individual Highlights and Collabs That Surprised
    The beauty of Anisama lies in its diversity of sound. Each act brought its own flavor and fandom.



    Ave Mujica from the BanG Dream! Universe leaned into darkness and drama. They looked like anime come to life but meant business with their heavy riffs.


    Mayu Maeshima, formerly of MYTH & ROID, owned the stage with her voice and a rockstar swagger.




    Thai anisong darling MindaRyn radiated joy, professing her love for Jollibee, Chickenjoy, and adobo between songs. Alongside Kitadani, she surprised the audience with a rendition of the “Voltes V Theme,” a song deeply embedded into the Filipino anime psyche, prompting a singalong.


    Toshiya Miyata of idol group Kis-My-Ft2 began his set with a slick dance break before teaming up with FLOW  for their version of “Butterfly” from Digimon Adventure.


    Tokyo-based rockers ASH DA HERO  turned the dial up to eleven. Frontman ASH is a natural showman — handing fans the mic, even walking among the audience on the first floor. His call to stand up and jump wasn’t a suggestion—it was a command.


    One of the night’s most satisfying sets came from hip-hop veterans nobodyknows+. When they launched into the opening bars of “Hero’s Comeback” from Naruto Shippuden, the theater rose on instinct. There were no gimmicks, just tight flow, magnetic stage presence, and contagious cool.



    Kitadani and MindaRyn—who call themselves Team Blazer—joined forces for “Bokura no Spectra” from Ultraman Blazer, joined later by Maeshima for “Ahhh!” from One Piece. Kitadani’s voice reached the rafters, reminding everyone why he’s a pillar of the genre.


    FLOW Brings It Home


    No act loomed larger than FLOW. If Anisama had an unspoken headliner, it was them.
    Returning to the Philippines for the first time since Ozine Fest 2016, the band lit up the stage with back-to-back bangers: “Cha-La Head-Cha-La” from Dragon Ball Z, “Sign” from Naruto Shippuden, and “Colors” from Code Geass. By the end of their set, the air was thick with sweat and serotonin.


    Cameras Down, Hands Up
    True to Japanese concert tradition, photography and videography were strictly prohibited. It forced the audience to engage viscerally, to shout and sweat rather than scroll. You had to remember, because you couldn’t replay.

    Originally slated for the Araneta Coliseum, the event was moved to the more intimate New Frontier Theater. What it lacked in size, it made up for in soul. Every flick of a lightstick felt like a ritualistic transfer of energy. Some fans screamed, some sang, some jumped. Many did all three.

    Since its inception in 2005, Anisama has been a cornerstone of Japan’s anime music scene, only rarely venturing abroad. The festival has only touched down in Shanghai (2011, 2024) and Taiwan (2024). This stop in Manila felt like a recognition that Filipino fans aren’t just passive consumers, but passionate contributors to the culture. For one night, Manila didn’t just host Anisama—it became part of its story.

  • Rising Japanese Boy Group ONE OR EIGHT Unveils New Single and Video “365”, Marks First Release With Atlantic Music Group!

    Rising Japanese Boy Group ONE OR EIGHT Unveils New Single and Video “365”, Marks First Release With Atlantic Music Group!

    Rising Japanese Boy Group ONE OR EIGHT Unveils New Single and Video “365”, Marks First Release With Atlantic Music Group!

    June 18th, 2025 – Manila, Philippines –ONE OR EIGHT have released their latest single, “365”, out now. This marks the first release from the eight-member boy group following their recent announcement of a partnership with major record label Atlantic Music Group. Fans across the world have taken to social media to express their excitement for the group’s growth, calling it a source of national pride that they’ve been recognized by a major international label in less than a year since debut.

    The new single “365” features acclaimed songwriter Nasri, known for his work with artists like Justin Bieber. Honest and emotional, the track blends a captivating melody with a distinctive, resonant beat as it expresses a heartfelt desire to be by a loved one’s side every day of the year. At its core, “365” is also a tribute to their fans, 1DERZ (fandom name) – a vow to maintain an unbreakable bond that will carry far into the future.

    ‘365’ is ONE OR EIGHT’s first love song, and we wanted to express how it feels when you’re thinking about a special someone. The title also represents the length of time of our auditions for WARPs DIG, which was the beginning of our journey to become ONE OR EIGHT. That’s why the number means so much to us. Through the lyrics, we want to express our immense gratitude and love for all of our fans, 1DERZ, who have been rooting for us over the past year and sharing many unforgettable moments with us.

    To the 1DERZ who have been supporting us from the very beginning, as well as those who have recently discovered us, I hope you’ll listen to ‘365’ with someone special! 

    – REIA of ONE OR EIGHT

    I was so happy to find out that ONE OR EIGHT chose our song 365 that I wrote with my good friend Noah. It’s the perfect song for them and I hope their fans love it as much as we do. I’ve spent some time in Japan with my band “Magic!” Playing shows over the years and now I have new friends in one of my favorite places in the world,” – Nasri, Writer of “365” 

    From the moment Mosaic and I produced the instrumental, I knew we had something special. I shared the beat with Nasri, who masterfully brought it to life with the 365 concept. Then ONE OR EIGHT jumped in—an electrifying young group with serious style and swagger—and put their own spin on it, turning it into something truly undeniable. From our hearts to the world… I can’t wait for everyone to hear this banger! ” – Noah Barer, Producer of “365”

    ONE OR EIGHT – “365” (Official Music Video) 

    Accompanying the single release is the romantic music video for “365”, unfolding as a passionate and poignant recollection of every moment within 365 days spent thinking about a loved one and the feelings shared. Set against an emotional backdrop, the video weaves unforgettable memories of love and shared time into a cinematic narrative. The video was directed by Osrin, one of Japan’s leading creative talents and a founding member of the creative label PERIMETRON, who has worked with major artists including King Gnu, millennium parade, Mr. Children, and GLAY.

    While working on the MV for 365, I saw these guys that are jagged, rough-around-the-edges, silly and playful, but sincerely real. I took all of my favorite parts and pieced them together. When I was finished, I had grown to love each of them,” Osrin (PERIMETRON) shares on directing the music video.

    Following the success of their sold-out SHŪKAI fan meeting tour across five cities in North and South America in April, ONE OR EIGHT is set for upcoming events in Asia in Bangkok (July 26) and Japan (August 24 and 26).

    With these events and more on the horizon, ONE OR EIGHT continue to blaze their own trail as a rising global force. Fans across Southeast Asia are invited to witness the SHŪKAI experience up close in Bangkok—the group’s first fan meeting event in the region. Tickets are available here.
