List of Idol Festivals Nationwide [2025]

It’s a circuit event dedicated to idols, split into daytime and nighttime sessions, with the night session running all night long. You can see a wide range of groups, from idols active on the front lines to those on the verge of breaking out.

This is a music event organized by Animax, famous for the catchphrase “If you watch anime, watch Animax.” The lineup is impressively far-reaching, featuring not only popular anime voice actors but also bands and idol units connected to anime. The event began in 2009 and has been held annually at Yokohama Arena since 2010. Watching fans wave glow sticks creates an undeniable sense of unity!

@JAM, which began with its predecessor event WotaJAM and has been sharing a variety of Japanese cultural phenomena—centered on idols and spanning anime, Vocaloid, and more—and Idol Yokocho, which started as a goods shop in Akihabara, both celebrate the 10th anniversary of their inaugural events in 2021. To commemorate this, the Akihabara Idol Circuit will be held as a collaboration event! Held in a circuit format, this modern live style lets you enjoy the performances at a relaxed pace without being overly crowded—perhaps a bit of a luxury these days. Since it’s a collaboration with the comprehensive official idol goods shop, be sure to check out the merchandise lineup too!
