Virtual singer KAF has been making moves towards reaching out to international audiences for a little while now with things like English language social media accounts and the opening of her bandcamp page to distribute music more freely. Taking things a step further, the young singer has announced her first North American concert appearance to take place at Anime Central 2025 in Rosemont, IL. Anime Central is among the largest events of its type in the United States, and has hosted some major names from Japan's music industry throughout their years of operation so it's certainly a fitting host for KAF's first appearance.
Speaking on the event itself KAF comments:
“I'm so excited to announce that I'll be performing in America for the first time ever at Anime Central 2025 in May! I'm bringing all of the energy from my Japan shows for this event, and I can't wait to meet so many of my international observers for the first time!
This will be an all-new live show, so I hope to see you all there! I'll be sharing more information soon, so please keep observing!”
KAF has already performed outside of Japan for audiences in Asia, but this marks her first appearance in a western country. If you're not familiar with her live shows either, she tends to go all out on the visuals as the below footage from one of her recent arena shows in Japan shows.
Further details on the appearance haven't been shared as of yet, with more news being promised in the coming weeks. In the meantime, information on attending Anime Central can be found at their official website for those interested in making the trip!
