ELVEN GROVE

EMERALD MOON

NJ's first anikura — a real anime nightclub built around the music you actually listen to. Live kaigai idol performance at midnight. Four DJs spinning anisong, J-Core, happy hardcore, and future bass until 3AM — plus AniParty's live VDJ anime visuals synced to every track on the big screen. Cosplay competition, hidden side quests, mystical readings by The Oracle of the Grove, and an anime artist pop-up. Fantasy and isekai theme — cosplay encouraged, never required.
