An Café’s latest single, Aroma, hit shelves today, March 11. And this Sunday, An Café kicks off their Live Cafe Tour ’09  Nyappy Go Around the World II Harajuku Dance Rock Night, which will not only be making stops in Europe and North America, but also Chile, Argentina, and Brazil—increasingly popular stops on Japanese artists’ world tours.

Before setting off, An Café wrapped up a mini-tour in Japan of six fan club-only shows. Because these were mostly at smaller live houses like Shibuya-AX, the band will be having a finale show, Finale of NYAPPY Kawayu’s Rock de GoGoGo, at Tokyo Big Site on May 17. Every attempt is being made to help fans get to the show, including providing an official tour bus that departs from Sendai and Osaka-Nagoya, similar to the special express trains that were provided for the Fuji Rock Festival and other major concerts.

And for US fans, there’s a little something special planned on the web.  MaruMusic.com, An Café’s stateside representatives, created a contest called How nyappy are you?, which challenges entrants to upload a one minute video of their own creation to YouTube and prove themselves as An Café’s Number One Fan. Upload your video by March 30, and you could win an An Café merchandise bundle including two tickets to one of the concerts in California.
