8P- Programming

AFA has called their programs the “experience zones”. Like what they call it, they want to let their visitors experience the event to their fullest.

Some of the programs include Akiba Town, Atelier Royale Butler Café, Moe Moe Kyun Maid Café, Anime KARAOKE MA’☆, AFA Regional Cosplay Championship, Creators Hub, Electric Groove: I Love Anisong.

Once you enter the event hall, you will find yourself in “Akiba Town”. “Akiba Town” mimics the city, “Akihabara” in Japan, selling merchandises and goods. Walking around the event, you will find the “Atelier Royale Butler Café” and “Moe Moe Kyun Maid Café” whereby the butlers and maids will delight and serve you with their warmest hospitality. Whereas for “AFA Regional Cosplay Championship”, cosplayers from each country compete for the regional’s best cosplay title.

AFA also have a music and arts section. For music, “Anime KARAOKE MA’☆” had a booth in the event for music lovers who love to sing. These music lovers can go up to the booth to perform the songs they wish to sing. For Art, AFA has a “Creators Hub” whereby they dedicated the area to Artists for them to draw and sell their fan-made merchandises. The products range from bookmarks to posters and even manga.

There is also a segment for dedicated fans that wish to support and see their idols perform- the “Electric Groove: I Love Anisong”. This may be a once in a lifetime chance for these idols to come to Singapore to hold a concert. Hence, this is the reason why this segment is one of the main highlights of AFA.

With all these programs in place, it brings the event as a whole and visitors will feel that there is a lot of value in the programs and event.
