ANIME NEWS: San Francisco to host J-Pop Summit Festival this month

[AsahinaKimi]

The J-Pop Summit Festival, an annual event devoted to Japanese pop culture such as music, fashion, film, design, food and anime, will be held in San Francisco on Aug. 27-28, its organizer, New People Inc., announced earlier this month.

New People will host the event in San Francisco's Japantown, and this year the event will highlight the recent vocaloid boom.

In the United States, many fan conventions are dedicated to anime, manga and other aspects of Japanese culture. Anime Expo in Los Angeles and the Otakon convention in Baltimore are also known in Japan.

But the J-Pop Summit Festival will offer a wider range of content from Japan, reflecting the activities of New People.
