Music has a unique way of transcending borders, but every now and then, an event comes along that turns that transcendence into a thrilling adventure. On Aug. 20, the world is set to embark on a unique sonic journey through the heart of Japan’s vibrant music scene with an extraordinary fusion event called つCoolJapan (or Tsu Cool Japan, in English—we’ll use the English version going forward just to make it easier to read). Here’s why this event is making waves in the global music community.
Tsu Cool Japan is not just a run-of-the-mill showcase. This musical event brings together two of Japan’s most remarkable all-female bands for a collaboration that’s nothing short of a cultural phenomenon. Get ready to experience the irresistible charm of Dempagumi.inc., a lively idol group hailing from Akihabara, as they share the stage with the raw energy of audacious punk rock band Otoboke Beaver.
What makes this event stand out from the regular line-up of online concerts? For starters, it’s brought to you by Zaiko, a digital streaming platform that’s been a pioneer in Japan’s music and entertainment industry. The event won’t just showcase a live performance; fans will also have access to live non-fungible token (NFT) drops, interactive fan chats and exclusive backstage access.

Both bands are brimming with excitement and anticipation for the upcoming event.
“We expect that Zaiko Connect viewers are going to—through our songs and performances—really feel the appeal of Dempagumi! We hope they enjoy the event and other events we will be providing on Zaiko Connect!” says Aonyan (Sorano Aozora) from Dempagumi.inc.
Yoyoyoshie, the lead guitarist of Otoboke Beaver, says: “Zaiko Connect Premium fans will get closer to us than ever before… both Japanese and overseas fans will enjoy an intimate experience only available on this platform, especially for those who might not get to see us in person.”
