The 22nd edition of Anime Friends will host new shows from Japanese artists such as Wolf Howl Harmony and Mucc. The groups perform alongside names already recognized by the public, such as Flow and Asian Kung-Fu Generation. The event takes place in the Anhembi District, in São Paulo, from the 2nd to the 5th of July, and will bring together music and anime culture.

Representatives of J-pop, the group Wolf Howl Harmony performs its first show in Brazil at the event, with performances that combine dance, looks and elements of R&B. The group has been gaining prominence on the pop scene, in addition to having among its members a Brazilian, Ghee.

Another new attraction is the trio Mucc, with almost 30 years of career and one of the most popular names in Japanese rock. Completing the event's news, Galneryus arrives at Anime Friends as one of the main representatives of Japanese metal. Led by guitarist Syu, the band became known for their striking sound, in addition to having some of their compositions included in the anime "Hunter x Hunter".

The event also marks the return of attractions already known to the Brazilian public, such as Japanese-American singer Nano and the group Burnout Syndromes. The trio from the city of Osaka gained international recognition with the theme songs for Haikyuu!!, including the iconic opening "FLY HIGH!!", as well as songs present in Dr. Stone and Gintama, other productions from the anime universe.
