Overview

The Michinoku Anime Song Festival returns for 2026 with its “Eastern Gale” edition, a high-energy celebration of the music that defines Japanese animation. This festival was originally established in 2012 to support the recovery efforts of the Tohoku region following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, using the positive power of anisong to bring smiles to fans worldwide. Held in the beautiful town of Onagawa, the 2026 event continues this legacy of resilience, serving as a vital cultural highlight that brings vibrant energy to the local community.

The 2026 lineup features a legendary trio of performers who are absolute titans of the industry: Hironobu Kageyama, Masaaki Endo, and Hiroshi Kitadani. As core members of the iconic supergroup JAM Project, these three artists carry an unmatched reputation for powerful, heroic vocals. From the soaring themes of Dragon Ball Z to the legendary anthems of One Piece, this festival offers a rare opportunity to witness these masters in an intimate hall setting. The event even features a special opening act by local residents, reinforcing the deep bond between the artists and the town of Onagawa.
