Tsukicon, the largest convention in Northern Europe featuring Japanese music and fashion, was convened in Helsinki Finland.  The event took place at both the Gloria Hall and Kulttuuriarena Gloria, on November 13th and November 14h. Including live performances by Japanese rock bands on both days, the convention also feature fashion shows, panel discussions, contests and talk shows.  Over 1,000 aficionados from across Europe gathered in Helsinki for the Two-day event.

Empire coordinated the appearance of the charismatic "Gal" duo Yumachi & Aina at this year's Tsukicon event.  Headilining the event, Yumachi & Aina performed live for the very first time on foreign soil, and were overwhelmingly well received by both foreign press and Japan press that had traveled over to witness the debut.

In addition to managing the casting and coordination that allowed Yumachi & Aina to participate in this year's Tsukicon Convention, Empire Entertainment Japan also directed and stage managed the live show.
