On the second day, November 21, Mai Aizawa, Minori Chihara, TRUE, fhána, Aira Yuuki, ZAQ perform alongside other currently unannounced, bands and singers, representing Violet Evergarden, Beyond the Boundary, Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, and MUNTO.

The announcement of “KYOANI MUSIC FESTIVAL-Inspiration to the Future-” was made back in May 2021. It will be the first music festival by Kyoto Animation as the fifth fan appreciation event for the first time in four years. Artists who sang the theme songs of successive works by Kyoto Animation will meet together at this event. In addition, the official event website and Twitter (@kyoani_event) have opened. Ticket information is now available on the special website.

Kyoto Animation last held a fan appreciation event in 2017. The company had planned a similar event in 2019 but due to the deadly fire at Kyoto Animation’s Studio 1 building on July 18, 2019, the event couldn’t take place. The studio eventually changed the event into a free public memorial for the victims of the fire.
