Crunchyroll Expo will bring one of J-pop’s rising acts to its convention.

Announced yesterday, ATARASHII GAKKO! will make their way to Crunchyroll Expo, which takes place from August 5 through August 7 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. Forming in 2015, the four-piece act caught the attention of 88rising, who signed the act in 2020. The act’s debut EP with the label titled SNACKTIME was produced by longtime Beastie Boys collaborator Money Mark. The act will headline the convention’s New Crunchy City Music Fest. More acts will be announced leading up to the convention.

Three-day and single day badges for Crunchyroll Expo can be purchased here. Crunchyroll Expo badges gain entry to New Crunchy City Music Fest at no additional cost.
