It was held on Friday and Saturday at theUsen Studio Coast event space in theShin-Kiba district, which also hosted live concerts and other events.[1] The wordAgeha isJapanese for 'Swallowtail butterfly'. The event's name has also been presented in the 3-letter-version 'AGH' in capital letters, for instance on the official staff shirts. If the three letters are pronounced separately inGerman, they are pronounced as "ah-geh-ha", similar to the Japanese pronunciation of the club's name.
