Ice Qream brings a touch of cool to the table!
Inspired by Japanese idols, Ice Qream has been striving to bring this immensely popular cultural phenomenon to North America by exposing people to it the old-fashioned way: through the real deal. Lactose intolerance begone, our sweet tooth has a new craving 😋
Don’t miss their panel on idols and wotagei, these peculiar rituals fans have during live shows in Japan!

Valérie Lévesque vents into Nadeshicon?!
We’re thrilled to announce that Valérie Lévesque will once more be the spokeswoman for Nadeshicon 2021 online! But something seems… different. Suspicious, even. Wait, where’s Red? We haven’t seen them in a while. And why is Valérie following us everywhere…?
Join Valérie as she plays Among Us at Nadeshicon 2021 online! Unmask the impostors, or perhaps don the mask and sabotage the crew’s efforts to keep the ship from breaking apart…
Knowledge is power. Read up on Valérie in the Guests section ahead of time.

A second virtual dealers room appears!
We’ve previously announced that the virtual dealers room would be freely accessible by any and all.

Join us from the comfort of your web browser and explore the many rooms of the virtual dealers room, crafted with love by our team! Visit merchants and artists booths with your avatar, communicate directly with the booth owners, interact with other attendees, and collect coins to unlock special skins! Be careful however, greed does not come free…
Die Milch lends their music to the fashion show!

The masquerade will unfortunately not take place
We regret to announce that there won’t be a masquerade at Nadeshicon 2021 online. We wish to apologize to everyone who was looking forward to either participating or assisting to this staple of conventions.
However, despite there not being a masquerade, the schedule for the event is packed to the brim with fascinating and diverse content. We can’t wait to share it with you once it’s finalised!
In the meantime, you can take a gander at the guests who will be participating in this year’s festival!
