Gavin Goska
Gavin Goszka started playing music at age seven and was writing and recording his own songs by seventeen. His background includes formal training in both piano and voice, self-instruction on guitar and bass, and a 10-year history of performing as a solo acoustic artist. He discovered anime music through internet radio and quickly became an avid fan, learning many of his favorite songs by ear and gradually picking up the Japanese language along the way. The idea of performing the music live came largely from a desire to share this interest with other fans and audiences that may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience it directly.

Gavin is also a member of the gothic horror soundtrack outfit Midnight Syndicate, and has recorded modernized versions of popular songs from the Victorian era under the name Parlormuse. His latest project is an all-original English-language CD featuring vocaloid Megurine Luka, set to make its debut this month. He is very happy to be returning as a guest of Shinboku-con!

Niji Dancers
Niji is an dance group that specializes in anime, Vocaloid, and other popular Japanese dances. The name, meaning "rainbow" in Japanese comes from the fact that each member wears a Lolita outfit of a different color.

Sophia hails from Britain, wears red, and is the most studious. Tsuzuki, the orange member, is the little girl of the group and the younger sister of Tatsumi. The yellow and sometimes airheaded dancer is Aria. Next is her rival Azumi, who is the thoughtful, artistic member that wears green. Blue is the color that the young yet elegant Tatsumi, the only male of the group, wears. Aristocratic and responsible, Violet wears the color of her namesake. Her best friend Suki, the black clothed dancer, is the opposite, as the carefree party girl. Niji also features a backup dancer named Yashimita.

For more information, the Niji Dancers invite you to view their website at http://niji-dancers.webs.com. They were created in June 2009, and their very first official performance was at the Shinbokucon Fundraising Dance in the same same year. Niji would like to thank the staff of Shinbokucon for inviting them back to perform at the convention!
