J-Metal: Thunder In The East

More than just Visual Kei, there is a rich tradition of Japanese Hard Rock and Heavy Metal that continues to this day in Japan. Join A-to-J Connections as they take a look into the little covered topic of Japanese Metal! Everything from the mainstream success of bands like Loudness to the more obscure careers of Rosenfeld, AION, and Saver Tiger will be covered and we'll trail the history of the genre all the way to the beginnings of Visual Kei and beyond!

DaRapNerd and friends are back for Year 3. This time with more Anime, more Raps Against Humanity, and, of course, more BARS! Come ready to turn up with your local nerdy rappers. If you love anime and hip hop, you should not miss this event. This is an open cypher for everyone to be a part of and engage, if wish to.

Ridiculous J-Music Videos

Japan has a reputation for being weird. Come and see just how true that can be with the most bizarre, hilarious, and downright silly music videos from the Land of the Rising Sun—or anywhere!!

The Ocarina Panel

What is an Ocarina? If you think they're just from Zelda, think 10,000 years earlier. We'll dive into what Ocarinas are, their history from South America to Italy through gaming and anime today, give a short buying guide, provide a quick overview on how to play them, and perform a couple songs.
