Our Japanese musical guest of honor, singer and voice artist Aika Kobayashi - or ‘Aikyan’, as she is called by her fans - will take the main Naka-Kon stage in Ballroom A/B on Friday at 7:30 pm, and then again on Saturday at 7:00 pm. Kobayashi-san is known for being both the singing and speaking voice of anime idol Yoshiko Tsushima from Love Live! Sunshine!!, for her own original singles, and even as the face and voice behind the theme song for Japan Gummy Association, “Gummy Chew”! Kon attendees are invited to sing, dance, and cheer along as a real-life idol brings the legendary J-pop energy to the OPCC, and be sure to enter the raffle for the photo sessions with Aikyan set to be held 30 minutes after the end of each performance.
