If your answer is yes, you should not miss out the Funan Anime Matsuri happening on 10th & 11th June! It is an event packed with anime merchandise, cosplay competition, fashion show (with AKIRA & Takeru) as well as chances of you meeting these artists up close!
MEET THESE TWO ARTISTS ❤
AKIRA
If you have been catching up with the magazine KERA monthly, Akira is definitely not a stranger to you! But if you have yet to, you would probably wonder if Akira is a pretty boy or a handsome girl. The singer-songwriter-model-actress, known as Akira, was born on February 15 in Chiba, Japan, and is 168cm tall.

AKIRA
If you have been catching up with the magazine KERA monthly, Akira is definitely not a stranger to you! But if you have yet to, you would probably wonder if Akira is a pretty boy or a handsome girl. The singer-songwriter-model-actress, known as Akira, was born on February 15 in Chiba, Japan, and is 168cm tall.
Akira rocks the androgynous look with her visual kei and punk style. That was what got her noticed by KERA, a Japanese street fashion magazine that focuses on Gothic, Lolita, Punk, and Visual Kei fashion. She was scouted to model for Kera after being featured in a street snapshot, where she made her debut in their magazine in 2008.
What is visual kei?
Visual kei is a popular subculture in Japan, described to be a music and fashion movement. Visual kei fashion involves heavy make-up, elaborate hair styles along with flamboyant, punk rock clothes. Visual kei’s music genres are generally classified under glam rock, punk rock, and heavy metal. Her usual look includes heavily lined eyes with smokey eye make-up, and short, layered hair that is long at the nape. According to an interview she had with TokyoRebel, her personal outfits are inspired by whatever anime she is into at that point. She also has many kimono and hakama inspired fashion pieces.
More about AKIRA
Akira gained popularity with Kera’s readers, typically teenage girls for her androgynous visual kei style and charisma. She was featured on the cover of Kera and Kera Boku, a subsidiary of Kera magazine, multiple times as their top boy’s style model. (I can't wait to meet her too!!)
Akira was first introduced to the androgynous style in her secondary school’s play. She fell in love with it and made it part of her identity from then on. Outside of her work, Akira rarely wears any feminine clothing due to her preference in men’s fashion. Some of her favourite fashion brands are Sex Pot Revenge, Alice and the Pirates, and Super Lovers.
Akira is definitely more than a pretty face as she has been in a band and started modelling at a young age of 12. She is currently the lead singer and songwriter of her three-member visual kei band, Disacode. Furthermore, Akira only acts in plays and musicals, one of the most iconic performance would be her as one of the main leads, Kaname Kuran in the Vampire Knight (manga by Matsuri Hino) musical in Japan.

Takeru (SuG)
Takeru is the brain behind many of the songs and concepts of popular visual kei band, SuG. The singer-songwriter-designer-model, SuG’s Takeru was born on May 11 in Japan and is 164cm tall.
Takeru sports many different types of short to medium length hairstyles, usually dyed in a light shade and has his eyebrows dyed to match his hair. Just like many other visual kei artists, he rocks the guyliner.
Besides his writing and singing songs for his visual kei band, Takeru also designs his own line of gothic street fashion, Million $ Orchestra. How talented!!
Million $ Orchestra was established in 2010 with a release of 8 collections since then, the latest collection being “Virgin”. Unsurprisingly, the brand’s collections have similar names to SuG’s songs and albums. Million $ Orchestra has been very popular in Japan, particularly with the Harajuku crowd, possibly due to their unique fashion pieces and the bold style. The brand has even had a pop-up store in Los Angeles.
According to Takeru in an interview, the brand was started as a form of expressing himself with his music. His inspirations were also gotten from manga, movies and such. Some of Takeru's favourite fashion brands include MalkoMalka, Galaxxxy, and New Era.
