WAKU WAKU +NYC JAPANESE POP CULTURE
FESTIVAL TO LAUNCH THIS AUGUST IN BROOKLYN
EVENT CELEBRATES JAPANESE ANIME, MANGA, MUSIC, FOOD, FILM, FASHION, AND
GAMES
New York, NY, April 02, 2015: Azix, Inc. announced the launch of Waku Waku
+NYC today, a new Japanese anime–pop culture festival, debuting this
August in Brooklyn. The event will be held on August 29-30 in the new
Brooklyn Expo Center and feature special events throughout Brooklyn's
Williamsburg and Greenpoint neighborhoods.
Waku Waku will be Azix's first foray into pop culture events.
“Waku Waku is a Japanese expression for excitement, and it's exactly
how we want our attendees to feel,” Chikako Ichihara, Azix's President
said. “We're looking to create an event that brings Cool Japan to New
York's coolest borough, something that's part anime convention, part
food festival, and part block party—and something that will inspire all
our audiences to create something new.”
Waku Waku +NYC will feature exhibits, panels, screenings, and guests from
both Brooklyn and across Japan, and will strive to create unique,
interactive spaces from art displays to workshops designed to foster the
imagination and “waku waku” spirit among the event's guests and
attendees alike. Participants will include Takao Koyama, screenwriter for
Dragon Ball Z, and Time Bokan, Baby, Putumayo, the leading Harajuku Fashion
Brand, Sebastian Masuda, Designer of 6%DOKIDOKI, iconic pop Artists, many
animators, artists, and more.
