Akihabara-based maid cafe @home cafe recently announced the worldwide digital release of their 15th anniversary single Aikome♡Forever.
Aikome♡Forever was composed by Akihiko Yamaguchi ("Infinite Stratos", "Love Live! Sunshine!!", "THE IDOLM@STER Side M") with lyrics by Saori Kodama ("JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure", "Free!", "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal"). It is
@home cafe’s first new song in six years, and it is now available on all digital services, including Apple Music, Spotify, and more.
The group also recently performed a rare outdoor concert on November 30th to celebrate the release. The mini-live, held at the Rooftop Sky Stage at Matsuzakaya Ueno, featured 17 of @home cafe’s Premium Maids, led by Legendary Maid Hitomi.
It was as an exclusive gift for fans who purchased the CD version of Aikome♡Forever at Tower Records Akihabara.
@home cafe was established in 2004 and is the longest-running food and entertainment maid cafe in Akihabara. “Moe moe kyun” – the original “maid spell” created by Hitomi, one of the cafe’s original members and now its Chief Branding Officer
– has become famous to fans of maid cafes and Akihabara culture across the world.
The MV for Aikome♡Forever can be viewed below, followed by photos from the Matsuzakaya Ueno outdoor concert. A short video message from four of @home cafe’s At Home Ambassadors – Chimu, Mizukin,
Chiacan and Fuwaru - is available on Instagram.
