AnimeNext is one of the biggest anime conventions in the United States.  Located in Somerset, New Jersey, fans of anime, manga and Japanese Culture will be on hand to have an incredible experience.  The event will be from June 8 to10, 2012 so mark your calendars now.

     There will be a GRAMM Fashion Show which showcases the newest cosplay designs out of Japan.  And of course, the icing on the cake is a concert by Berryz Kobo.  This will be their second concert on the U.S. mainland so their American fans will be going nuts to see them perform again.  Click here to jump over to the AnimeNext website.

     Are you wondering when the next Ukulele Festival is or where you can listen to live Hawaiian music in the Bay Area?  Click the pic to find out. 

     The directory is constanstly updated by its website operators so keep checking in. All the way at the bottom of the page are links to restaurants, Hula schools, island merchandise and more.

     This is a great resource specially if you miss the islands.   Aloha!

     Could you name the anime characters these con-goers are cosplaying as?
