We've been able to work within the convention to move content, allowing us to get them back onto the schedule. We will be reaching out to those groups soon with further details.

Idol content is always welcome at Sakura-Con, and we are excited to share updates to scheduling as it gets locked in.

After communicating with the organizers of Idolfest about the feedback we have received about the event, we have mutually agreed to cancel Idolfest.

With Idolfest cancelled, our priority has turned to reinstating the panels of the Idol Groups that were previously rejected.

The affected idol panelists for this year will still receive their complimentary badges, and we are improving our communication and process with the idol community as we progress forward.

Don't worry, Idol panels aren't going away! We heard your concerns, Idolfest is not intended to replace Idol Panels but to help provide another event to showcase Idol talent. We will continue accepting idol panel submissions in future years.

To enter, send an email to fashion@jhouserock.com with:

Two Photos (One headshot, One full body)
Measurements (height, weight, bust/hip/waist)
A brief statement telling why you want to be a part of the event

Applications close Monday, March 16, 2026 and have a valid memberships to be eligible.

Always wanted to be in a Fashion show? Well here’s your chance! 🌸

Moriguchika Tokyo Fashion is holding an open call for models. Selected applicants will model in the Moriguchika Tokyo Fashion show held Saturday, April 4, 2026.
