//SIGNAL-001: THROWBACK
The signal shifts. We’re rewinding the frequency.
ISEKAIYA initiates its first official transmission with a high-energy throwback to the golden era of anime. //SIGNAL-001: THROWBACK is a 90s-themed rave designed for those who were raised on static, VHS grain, and late-night anime blocks. Expect era-coded visuals, curated DJ sets, and themed cocktails channeling the chaos, color, and nostalgia of the classics.
From Sailor Moon to Evangelion, Yu Yu Hakusho to Initial D—this night isn’t just a tribute, it’s a hardline connection to the culture that made us.
