Retro gaming, music and new challengers await when the UK's biggest Japanese club night returns to London on Saturday 28 May.

It is now set to strengthen its 'exciting... quirky and eccentric evening' (Subba-Cultcha) by paying extra attention to the video game aspect of its mission to bring the excitement of Japan's alternative night life to the UK. To achieve this it's teamed up with the team behind retro gaming night Nintendisco to bring competitive gaming to the event.

There will also be live music from two video game-fuelled artists. Japan Underground is very pleased to have British-born J-pop star Bentley Jones performing, who's had nearly five million hits on YouTube, composed tracks for the video game SEGA All-stars Racing and the X Files and Sonic franchises, and is the first British artist to release on a major Japanese label (EMI). TRANS//LATION 2, the follow up to his Japanese debut album, will be exclusively available at the show before its official release this summer.

Japanese violinist Masa Futagami will also be performing a very special video game-themed live session which will include covers from Final Fantasy, Mario and Zelda as well as a Street Fighter medley. Complementing that medley will be X-Men vs. Street Fighter tournaments on the Sega Saturn throughout the night. Attendees are also encouraged to bring their handheld consoles for multiplayer fun in the gaming zone, which also features pinball, retro arcade machines and five bowling lanes.
