Anisong Bar Mofuru Shinjuku Kabukicho

Choosing an Anisong Space Without Singing

When people hear the term “anisong bar,” many imagine guests taking turns with a microphone, filling the space with lively singing and constant excitement. However, “Mofru” takes a different approach, choosing not to install any karaoke equipment. Instead, the bar plays anisong, game music, and occasionally idol tracks as background music. Rather than centering the experience around singing, it offers a calm space where anime and game fans can relax while enjoying music in the background. There’s no need to raise your voice, and no one’s singing ever interrupts conversations, making it a very comfortable place where natural dialogue flows easily.

Another notable point is that the staff serve customers in their own casual clothes, which sets Mofru apart from many other concept cafés. While many places use uniforms or cosplay outfits to match a specific theme, Mofru intentionally keeps the atmosphere grounded with everyday attire. This approach creates a comfortable distance that makes conversations between anime fans feel natural. Even those who feel uneasy in heavily themed or highly stylized environments will find it easy to enter and enjoy their time without feeling tense.

At Mofru, you don’t need to sing. You can talk freely, share your favorite works, and enjoy discussions at your own pace. It’s a place created for anime lovers who want a space where they can relax and enjoy their interests without pressure.

A Karaoke-Free Anisong Space That Connects Your “Likes”

One of Mofru’s biggest attractions is its long operating hours. Open almost year-round and running until morning every day, it becomes a reliable spot for anyone searching for a place to go late at night. Even though Kabukicho appears full of restaurants and bars, it’s common to find many of them closed by the time you arrive. Mofru, however, is accessible without worrying about the time, making it easy to visit after work or after a night out.

Their all-you-can-drink menu is another highlight. While many concept cafés and girls’ bars exclude beer or certain mixers from their all-you-can-drink plans, Mofru includes beer, highballs, and more in the standard package. On top of that, the beer provided is real beer—not low-malt beer—making it satisfying even for those who care about drink quality. With a wide range of cocktails and soft drinks, it’s convenient whether you’re there to drink or to enjoy talking with the staff.

The presence of smoking areas in all locations is another thoughtful feature. Although you cannot smoke at your seat in stores that employ underage staff, dedicated smoking spaces reduce stress for smokers. Meanwhile, non-smokers can enjoy their time without being affected by cigarette smoke, creating an environment that accommodates both groups comfortably.

A Gateway to Subculture Found in Kabukicho

When people think of Kabukicho, many picture a district filled with cabaret clubs and bars. The bright neon lights and lively atmosphere may make it hard to imagine a place where anime fans can casually walk in. Even so, Mofru has carved out a unique presence in this vibrant area. As a bar that naturally gathers people interested in anime and games, it values a direction distinct from the typical flashy nightlife.

Creating a space that welcomes casual anime fans is one of Mofru’s priorities. It avoids becoming a place that only “hardcore fans” visit and instead ensures that even those who are not deeply knowledgeable can enter without hesitation. People who took a break from watching anime, or those who only recently got into certain works, can all feel comfortable spending time there.

This is a place where simply “liking anime” is enough to enjoy your visit. Anisong plays without the pressure to sing, the staff in casual clothing create an approachable atmosphere, and the bar is open late into the night. Knowing that such a spot exists in Kabukicho may change the way you see the nightlife district—especially for anime fans seeking a welcoming space.
