［Announcement］Popular singer SUZUKI Konomi to perform in Malaysia:
Singing live anime songs at one of Southeast Asia's largest anime events

November 17, 2022

The Japan Foundation (JF) is delighted to present a concert by popular anime song artist SUZUKI Konomi in December 2022, co-organized with Comic Fiesta and the Embassy of Japan in Malaysia.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Malaysian government's adoption of the "Look East Policy," which is aimed at promoting social and economic development in Malaysia by learning from the experiences of Japan. Various events related to Japanese culture are being held to celebrate the friendship between Japan and Malaysia. JF will send SUZUKI Konomi, who won the All-Japan Anime Song Grand Prix and debuted as a singer at the age of 15 in 2012, making this year the tenth anniversary of her debut, to perform in Malaysia, where she will serve as a highlight of the 40th anniversary of the "Look East Policy."

Since her debut, SUZUKI Konomi has wowed fans not only in Japan but all over the world with her compelling singing talent and beautiful voice, while collaborating with various anime works and releasing numerous anime songs. Her concert at Comic Fiesta, which is one of Southeast Asia's largest anime events and is being held for the first time in three years, will be an opportunity to convey the appeal of anime songs, a unique aspect of Japanese culture, through live singing.

The concert is scheduled to be streamed via "STAGE BEYOND BORDERS―Selection of Japanese Performances," JF's online streaming project for stage performances, starting in spring of 2023, so that people around the world who were unable to attend in person can experience the day's excitement. We hope that the concert will help to further boost exchanges between Malaysia and Japan and contribute to stronger ties between the two countries.
