SAN FRANCISCO (April 8, 2009) – Time to bust out that Sailor Moon or Pokemon outfit and celebrate otaku (anime fan) culture! Anime fans are in for a treat as the Anime Street Pavilion returns, once again, to the Asian Heritage Street Celebration on May 16, with a fun daylong program including an anime theme runway fashion show, an anime cosplay contest and masquerade, and Japanese rock performances.

The Anime Street Pavilion, which has been a feature of the nation’s largest pan Asian street fair since 2007, celebrates the otaku culture in the San Francisco Bay Area and comes complete with local anime vendors, giving attendees a chance to pick up the latest manga. Past performers have included crowd pleasers – Thee Out Mods, ArtBeat, The Random Ninjas, The Slants, and Lemon Drop Kick. This year the Pavilion will also showcase original anime clothing lines from Japanese and Bay Area fashion designers. Attendees will also have the opportunity to win prizes by showcasing their own homemade anime costumes on stage.

The Fifth Annual Asian Heritage Street Celebration will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2009 located at the Civic Center leading to Little Saigon and will feature J-cars, a Muay Thai kickboxing ring, scrumptious food, tons of arts and crafts, carnival rides and games, free hepatits B screenings, and more! The Asian Heritage Street Celebration gathers the diversity of the Asian American populations of the San Francisco Bay Area and promotes cross-cultural interaction through sharing of cultures, creation of innovative programs and entertaining activities for visitors and participants.

An Cafe – short for Antique Cafe – is a Japanese Visual-Kei rock band by miku (vocals), takuya (guitar), kanon (bass), yu-ki (keyboard) and teruki (drums.) The band was formed in 2003 and still retains the two key songwriting members.

An Cafe is extremely popular amongst teenagers for their larger than life-sized lyrics and a kickin’ rock sound inspiring their young audiences to dance and shout. Their songs appeal to ALL J-POP fans not just limited to the Visual-Kei crowd. More often than not the band attracts audiences that aren’t even familiar with the Visual-Kei genre. These non-VK fans are drawn to the fun, raw energy of An Cafe’s live performance. Each member expresses a unique distinct personality on stage.

Time: 8pm (doors open at 7:30pm)
Location: Slim’s, 333 11th Street, San Francisco, California
Tickets: $30 [Buy online here]
All ages 6+!
