Enjoy the Honolulu Festival with Momoi
[ Tokyo ]
The world is paying attention, to the Original Queen of Akiba-kei! Voice actress, singer, songwriter, celebrity, columnist, a supergirl who can master everything. Halko, also known as "Momoooi" by her fans, will be participating in the Honolulu Festival for the first time. She will deliver the latest trends of Akihabara, the center of anime mania.
Our events and projects have many objectives. First it is something that can be enjoyed by the listeners as well as the performers. We also want to perform for the children of Japan who will carry on our future, so that they will not forget their heritage and cultural traditions, so that they can grow and spread their wings. Gakugeisha was established for these purposes. As we are defined by our name we preserve our traditions irregardless of school factions or political boundaries. We step out of the box of "defined" Japanese and Western music, simply to enjoy and spread the joy of the arts.
Hula's popularity has soared in Japan. Cultural exchange has been taken to an even higher level through performances of this elegant dance. We are back again to dance gracefully. Please give us a warm welcome.
