Nadeshicon 2020 is still happening!
- Wash your hands often, for a duration of 20 seconds each time. Singing helps a lot with making sure you respect the duration. We personally recommend Database, the opening to Log Horizon; the part from the first “Database” to “As the madness of the system grows” is the perfect length. Not only will you help prevent the virus from spreading, but you will also be all warmed up for karaoke!
- Leave any “Free hugs” sign at home this year. Hugs may be a great way to share some happiness around, but happiness may not be the only thing you share doing so. Last we heard, smiling is still perfectly safe!
- Sneeze and cough into your elbow. Picture this: your elbow is your shield, and everyone else is Raphtalia. Hopefully your elbow doesn’t make your unreasonably angry at times though.

Ice Qream sweetens the deal!
Huge cultural phenomenon in Japan, the idol industry is also for the most part limited to its country of origin. But some, moved by the immense power of positivity this performance style possesses, decide to take on the mantle and reach for new heights.
Founded 6 years ago, Ice Qream has no intention of melting. Its members have been performing in more and more events, sharing their love for the art along with a healthy dose of plain happiness. Catch their short performances at the opening and closing ceremonies at Nadeshicon and brighten your weekend!
