Our DJ Guest for DerpyCon 2026 is AniSong Party!
AniParty is the premier U.S. anime song (anisong) DJ club event which draws influence from the “anikura” (アニクラ) subculture of music nightclub event, popularized in Tokyo, Japan. Anikura centers around the “A-POP” (a shortened form of “Akiba-POP”) genre of music, which is an eclectic fusion of anime songs (OPs, EDs, and insert songs to anime series’, video games , and visual novels), otaku-centric J-Pop, J-idol music, and popular fan-created works such as Vocaloid and Touhou. Join AniParty as they bring your favorite Anime songs to Derpycon! Don’t forget the glow sticks.
