Noizucon re:imagined 2025 is officially a wrap.
Twelve months ago, my team and I stood at a crossroads. We'd had our successes, faced our share of challenges, and weathered some tough criticism over the years. We had to ask ourselves: do we keep going, or do we walk away?
I'm so grateful to my team—Firdaus, Bugs Mah, Ae Dyl, Salty Katz Sharky, Alynn YingYen Lau, and my incredible wife Suelyn—for choosing to keep fighting alongside me. We were all exhausted, but we believed in what we were building. That's where "re:imagined" was born.
We made a decision: focus on what matters most. Do fewer things, but do them exceptionally well. Stay true to ACG, but elevate the experience.
Anime: Raja Farouk Live Orchestra, Voices Singing Competition-Band edition-, Wanmini
Cosplay: WCS Malaysia 2026, CUXCUCOS by Inui-San
Gaming: Kaki Table Top & Nakayo
We kept what worked—Buddy Pass redemptions, lucky draws, and a lighter setup for exhibitors, more attendees' services, clean restrooms, and a 5-star corporate hotel setup, and we reimagined everything else.
We cut our typical attendance by 75%, condensed three days into one full day plus an evening session, and redirected those resources into what really mattered: food provision, a proper networking dinner, and experienced staffing.
The result? More fun. Better experiences. More rewards. Less stress. A real sense of community.
And honestly, seeing all the appreciation posts after the event... that's what makes this worthwhile. That's why we do this. You remind us why we keep pushing forward.
There are so many people I need to thank, I might have left out many more, but you know who you are, and our gratitude is with you.
Raja Farouk for that unforgettable orchestra, the WCS Malaysia team (Rikka Blurhound, Tea Kyandy, KANE 凯恩, Team Manboobs, KuraMaker, Olesia Kharinskaia, Alexsei, Qiqi's Cosplay Medics, Ken Ta, Izumi Ch.), our distinguished guest (Mary Joy Nakata, Lulu Anwar, Chazz Manian De Ville, Allie Nia, Jayvee Lagman, Aria Gxc, , Eins, Ryu Jin, ), all our WCS MY 2026 and CUxCU contestants, our judges and special guests, Martian Blackline for being our stage backbone, every single exhibitor and showcase partner, and the entire NOIZU team who worked around the clock to make this happen.
But most importantly, thank you to you. The fans and community members who trusted us with this completely unorthodox approach. Who showed up, supported us, and gave this reimagined vision a chance.
I hope you took home memories that'll last. Because that's what the Noizu family is all about.
With all my gratitude,
Rupernov Tchaichiusky
