ANIME FESTIVAL ASIA MALAYSIA 
FIRST TIME IN MALAYSIA
Featuring Top Japanese Artistes and Content in Japanese Entertainment

Kuala Lumpur: 26 April, 2012 – Anime and Japanese popular culture fans are in for a special treat in June as Anime Festival Asia Malaysia will be staged for the very first time in Malaysia.

The festival will showcase an electrifying line-up of anisong (anime songs) stars from Asia's music powerhouse, Japan. Japan's top talent and latest offerings in the animation and Japanese Popular Culture scene will be featured. Visitors can look forward to being transported into Japan's famous Akihabara without requiring a passport - with premium original merchandise, movie screenings, cosplay-related activities, and maid and butler café experiences.

This is made possible by Anime Festival Asia (AFA), Southeast Asia's biggest and most anticipated showcase of the latest Japanese popular culture and anime content as well as stars. Organisers of the highly-established and successful festival announced plans last year to hold satellite events beyond Singapore's shore. Malaysia was one of the countries identified. Anime Festival Asia Malaysia will focus on popular content and the latest trends that are relevant to the Malaysian audience.

Anime Festival Asia Malaysia (AFA MY) will be held on 9 & 10 June, 2012. Occupying a floor space of up to 10,000 square meters, Anime Festival Asia Malaysia will showcase the highly popular "I Love Anisong' concerts which will be staged for two evenings.
