J-Pop Summit Festival 2014 took place on July 19-20. This was the sixth rendition of the event and by all accounts the biggest. Just a few weeks ago it seemed hard to surpass last year's event which had Kyary Pamyu Pamyu headlining it but J-Pop Summit Festival seems to have done it. Fans of Japanese music were treated to the sights and sounds of performers like Tomomi Itano (newly graduated from AKB48) and the fresh faces of Tokyo Girls Style. The event may have formally closed at 6PM in Japantown but those willing to hang around were able to see singer extraordinaire May'n and end J-Pop Summit with a bang.

UPDATE: We've now updated the article with Tomomi Itano's performance from day 2 at Japantown in San Francisco. Make sure to watch them in HD!

Fresh off the release of her newest album SxWxAxG, former AKB48 pop-star, and current fashion-icon, will be showcasing her talents for the first time in America at the J-POP SUMMIT 2014 in San Francisco. She will be performing on Saturday July 19th at 7:50pm in Union Square and at 11:00 am at the Pagoda Stage in Japantown. For many overseas AKB48 fans this is a dream come true, so be sure to enter the J-POP Summit Festival contest to win an invitation to a special meet & greet session at 5:00 pm on the 19th!
