Are you ready to rock? Need a laugh? both needs will be met, J-Pop style, during the opening day at the 2015 J-Pop Summit.

The Summit will feature live performances by a host of J-Pop acts including: JAM Project, Eir Aoi, Gacharic Spin, JinnyOops!, Akabane Vulgars on Strong Bypass, Faint?Star, FES?TIVE, Comedy Duo Jaru Jaru, and A Cappella Group Little Glee Monster, among others.

I find myself intrigued by the six-member all-female a cappella group, Little Glee Monster and wondering how comedy duo Jaru Jaru will be received. JAM Project (pictured above) – composed of five members, all of whom who renowned for their vocal work on anime shows – could also be very interesting.
