Community Testimonials!

Focus on building a sense of community

“TouhouFest f*ing incredible experience and more of y’all better be there next year!”

— Axel

“In all seriousness though, meeting internet pals has never turned out badly for me, as TouhouFest and other events have demonstrated, soo...i'd be down if you were, perhaps.”

- Mari

“TouhouFest made me realize the power of friendship and community... I desperately needed that for all my life basically. Perhaps that is why I feel like shit this summer, the realization that I am missing THIS is what I really needed all this time!”

- Suwawako

 

Providing a venue for talents

AniMarketplace was SUCH a good time!! Huge thanks to the AMP team for organizing and running such a safe and fun community event! We can't stop gushing about how much we love all the staff and admin 💖 Talking and connecting with people was what I missed most about these kinds of events so it was great to get a sense of that yesterday. Thank you to all of our friends and family that came out to support @ev_133 and @aquariusca.alt the performances went great and were SOOOO FUN!! We had a blast performing and can't wait for the next one.”

— Brandon Chun, Lead Guitarist of EV133

 

Creating a fun experience for all!

“Wow! Who needs Tokyo Idol Festival when we’ve got TORRANCE Idol Festival am I right?”

— Jelli, Member and Manager of Aquarius Encore Project

THANK YOU, LA IDOL MATSURI!!! 🎶 It was the longest day ever in a heat wave and I was the very last performer, but you STILL stayed for me 🥹 I gave it my very very best through the heat exhaustion too, and I hope you felt it 🩷

I love you so much. We promised our paths will cross again somewhere! 💕 Thank you!

- Phoebe

”I don’t think there are words to express the gratitude I felt for the support that
@irodori.idols received on their set this past weekend at @la_idolmatsuri
