In November New York will be hosting the Anisong World Matsuri in collaboration with Anime NYC, to bring fans one of the largest global J-pop concerts!

Anisong World Matsuri’s mission is to bring Japanese pop to new audiences all around the world. Since launching in 2016 they have held successful events in Los Angeles, Shanghai, and Washington DC. Now it’s New York’s turn!

Among the exciting guest list is none other than Shoko Nakagawa. She will be hitting the stage on November 17th along with Hiroshi Kitadani, Hironobu Kageyamak, and Morning Musume ’18.

In preparation for the event we caught up with Nakagawa for an interview Q.A where we discuss her writing process, Pokémon, which Morning Musume member she plans to hang out with in the city, and much more. Check out the full interview on the next page!
