Toshl from X JAPAN Organizes a Massive Anime Song Festival in Kanazawa: ANISON LEGENDS FES JAPAN Is Coming!

The legendary voice of X JAPAN, Toshl (Ryugen Toshl), is embarking on a new project that will shake the anime world. ANISON LEGENDS FES JAPAN (or AniLege for short), which will take place on July 4, 2026, at the Ishikawa Prefectural Concert Hall, will bring the most iconic names in the industry to the same stage. The festival's initial artist lineup has already created great excitement among fans.

The festival's lineup includes the unforgettable voice of the Pokémon series, Rica Matsumoto; Maki Ohguro, who is etched in memories with Slam Dunk; and the legendary name of the Gundam series, Hiroko Moriguchi. In addition, KENJI03 from the band BACK-ON and the energetic Golden Bomber will also be on stage. Each of these names will provide fans with moments filled with nostalgia through songs that have left their mark on anime history.

In recent years, Toshl has drawn attention not only with rock music but also with projects spanning a wide range. This festival to be held in Kanazawa aims to increase the cultural vitality of the region while celebrating the multi-generational impact of anime music (Anison). The fact that the Ishikawa region is hosting such a major event, especially after the Noto Peninsula earthquake at the beginning of 2024, is seen as a great source of morale for the local people and fans.

Ticket details and additional artist announcements for the festival are expected to be made in the coming weeks. This event, personally produced by Toshl, is not just a concert but also a "gathering of legends" that honors the musical heritage of anime culture. If you happen to be in Japan on those dates, we highly recommend you do not miss this historic night!
