About Zaiko Connect Event Pass
Since October 2022, Zaiko Connect has been delivering one live performance each month for free to members worldwide. The first installment featured Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s solo performance 'UMA 105' at Budokan, which saw fans from around the world flood the comment section, and limited digital merchandise that captured the live performance in NFT form was sold out during the event. The second installment, 'MORISAKI WIN GIG', connected fans both inside and outside the venue with a full live band performance. During a follow-up watch party re-broadcast with artists and band members, fans enjoyed the live show twice, including behind-the-scenes stories. This month, we are currently showcasing Zaiko's online festival 'Bandwidth Festival', which shines a spotlight on Tokyo's indie scene.

Otokoboke Beaver Profile



With the motto “Sex, Shibazuke, Rock and Roll,” formed in 2009. They vent their romantic frustrations through short tunes as a smash hit with a hysterical heartbeat and a booming band.
They are active worldwide, using fluent Kyoto slang and broken English, and have been regulars at the largest trade fair in America, SXSW, appeared at Coachella 2018 (only Otokoboke Beaver and X JAPAN from Japan), and participated in the 2019 Koyabu Sonic organized by Yoshimoto Shinkigeki, yet they remain ignored by Japanese media. In 2020, just as they resolved to quit their OL jobs and challenge the world, the COVID shock hit! Please support us!

Dempagumi.inc Profile



Formed by members specializing in their hobbies such as anime, manga, and games, working at the live & bar 'Akihabara Dear Stage', opened in 2007. With the catchphrase ‘Delivering Moe-Kyun Songs to the World,’ they started their activities in earnest around 2010, centered in Akihabara. After undergoing numerous member changes, they are currently a nine-member unit consisting of Mirin Furukawa, Risa Aizawa, Ayane Fujisaki, Rin Kaname, Koze Aikawa, Rito Amasawa, Ria Kobato, Aozora Sorano, and Hina Takasaki.
Unusually for an idol group, they have appeared in collaborative live shows with MIKIOSAKABE at the Tokyo Collection, performed as the opening act for Takashi Murakami's solo exhibition in Russia, and modeled for works by Mika Ninagawa, actively collaborating with various creators, attracting attention both domestically and abroad, and participating in fashion events in Taipei and Jakarta. They represented Japan in JAPAN EXPO 2013 and served as goodwill ambassadors for the 2014 East Asia Cultural City in Yokohama. They also conducted a world tour in 2015 and won the MTV 'World Wide Act Award' for Japan in the 'Best Japan Act' category. They have long performed at arena-class venues such as Nippon Budokan, Yoyogi National Gymnasium, and Makuhari Messe.
In 2020, amid the COVID pandemic, they released 'Nanto! Sekai Kounin Hikikomori', where creators responded to a call on social media and completed everything from lyrics, composition, arrangement, performance, to MV production in just eight days, delivering a positive message to their fans. On November 16, 2021, they celebrated the 10th anniversary of their hit song 'Future Diver'.
