-Kelsey  Date: Saturday September 3, 2016 Time: 10:00-11:30 PM Location: LP1 (Room 201A) Hosts: Tiffany, Molly, Paloma, and Manuel Everyone knows J-Pop idols as cute, positive role models with music that matches their bubble-gum image, but the world of idols isn't always that simple! A-To-J Connections continues its popular "IDOL" series of panels with this look at the dark underside of the idol industry! Besides genre-breaking groups like BiS, Babymetal, Deep Girl, and Ladybaby, we will also cover topics such as highly talked about scandals, the dark side of the fandom, and the tragedy of Okada Yukiko. Fan and curious newcomer alike, this panel will have something for everyone!  Date: Saturday September 3, 2016 Time: 3:30-5:00 Location: LP3 (Room 202A) Hosts: Tiffany, Molly, Garwye, and Manuel Are you a fan of shows like Love Live, IDOLM@STER, Wake Up Girls, or Aikatsu? Then we have the panel for you! A-To-J Connections has spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours watching and absorbing nearly every idol anime out there to bring you this panel that features only the best of 2D idols! From the beginnings of Macross to the success of shows like AKB0048, we will cover it all and also discuss topics such as idols as voice actors, voice actors who evolve into idols, and the future of the genre! Fan and curious newcomer alike, this panel will have something for everyone!  Power Morphicon 2016 has come and gone but the event is still fresh in my mind. I got the chance to attend the convention this year and I can truly say it's been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I want to thank Polo, the guitarist for Eyeshine (which is the band of Mighty Morphin Power Ranger alum, Johnny Yong Bosh), for giving us this amazing opportunity.
