The JPEX Entertainment Exhibition will feature live performances, including music, dance, or even theatrical adaptations inspired by Japanese pop culture[1][3]. There will also be a dedicated artist alley, offering a unique opportunity to meet and interact with creators[1].
In addition to the entertainment, the event will offer cultural activities such as kimono try-ons, tea ceremonies, and Japanese calligraphy[1]. For shopping enthusiasts, there will be stalls and pop-up stores for fans to purchase exclusive merchandise, collectibles, and limited-edition items[1].
Notable voice acting stars from Japan and the Arab world will attend the JPEX Entertainment Exhibition, including Hiroshi Kitadani, Ryusei Nakao, Showtaro Morikubo, and Amal Saadeddin. These stars will lead live performances, voice-acting segments, and exclusive meet-and-greet opportunities[1].
