Rosemont, IL – Anime Midwest 2025 is excited to announce that the mysterious and dynamic Japanese music group blank paper will be making a special appearance at this year’s convention, taking place July 4-6 at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare and the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center.
Since their debut in 2021, blank paper has captivated audiences with their powerful sound and unique creative philosophy, which revolves around collaborating with fans and listeners to shape their music. Their debut song enemy gained immediate attention when it was chosen as the opening theme for the anime AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline, produced by Sunrise Beyond (Gundam, Cowboy Bebop, Code Geass). The track also became the entrance song for Muay Thai champion Nadaka Yoshinari—an impressive feat for a brand-new artist.
blank paper’s signature approach to music creation, known as ‘bpm’ (blank paper medicine), is an immersive experience that draws inspiration from various emotions and energies, resulting in a sound that resonates deeply with fans. The group's members remain anonymous, going only by their code names ‘C45P3R’ and ‘T3R354’, further adding to the mystique surrounding their identity.
Rumor has it that the unknown identities of blank paper members T3R345 and C45P3R might actually be KENJI03 of BACK-ON and Kumi Koda, according to a JPU investigation: bit.ly/3cUJiB9
