Dwango Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo Ward, Tokyo; President & CEO: Tsuyoshi Natsuno), in co-hosting with Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; President & CEO: Yoshimitsu Goto), has announced the first-ever Western Japan edition of the world's largest anime song live event, 'Animelo Summer Live,' titled 'ANISAMA FUKUOKA 2027.' The event will be held over two days on Saturday, March 13 and Sunday, March 14, 2027, at Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka.

'Animelo Summer Live' (commonly known as 'AniSama') is the world's largest live concert event dedicated to anime songs, held annually in the Kanto region during summer since 2005. The 20th-anniversary edition in 2025 (held August 29–31) attracted a record-breaking 87,000 attendees over three days—the highest in the event’s history. The venue brings together artists across genres and labels, including anime song (hereafter 'anison') singers, voice actor artists, J-POP, and rock musicians. Featuring exclusive units and special collaborations, the event has evolved into a celebrated 'festival of anison' that draws fans from Japan and abroad.

To expand access to anison culture, 'AniSama' will launch 'ANISAMA FUKUOKA 2027' in 2027—its first-ever event in Fukuoka—alongside the traditional summer event in the Kanto region.

Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka, the event venue, is a hub for entertainment including professional baseball. The organizers aim to establish it as a new 'holy land of anison' in Western Japan, attracting fans from across Japan and overseas.

※ Additional details such as performing artists and ticket information will be announced sequentially around autumn 2026.
