In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Toshiba EMI's iconic Dancemania compilation series MAHARAJA ROPPONGI is hosting a party that will embody the soul of the franchise. While the event was announced a little while ago, the organizers have finally announced the full lineup over the weekend featuring many artists that defined the Dancemania series during its peak years.

Front an center, special guests SMiLE.dk members Veronica and Malin will be traveling all the way from Sweden to appear at the event. One of the most iconic contributors to the Dancemania series, SMiLE.dk's "Butterfly" still sticks in the memories of fans worldwide and even made an appearance in the 2026 Olympics as part of Japan's Ice Dance duo routine.

In addition to SMiLE.dk, a lineup of DJs who contributed to the series as remixers and non-stop mix creators are also slated to appear. REMO-CON (from Y&Co.), DJ Hibiki (from Delaction), DJ KOUTARO (from MST), and UPHORIA (a.k.a. DJ EVIL) all participated in the series during its peak years in various capacities and round out the headline acts. Additional performances from Japanese local DJs Hyuji, WAQ, and DJ masa fill out the party.

10 April, 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of the release of the first Dancemania compilation album. The series thrived through the early 2000s as a gateway to European club and eurodance artists across a wide variety of genres. During its peak the Dancemania series was the driving force of licensed music for Konami's popular Dance Dance Revolution music game series, with many of its tracks being synonymous with the franchise even today.

Dancemania BIRTHDAY will take place on 11 April, 2026 at MAHARAJA ROPPONGI as a day event starting at 13:00. Tickets at the door will run ¥5,500 for general admission and under-18 admission for ¥3,500.
