AgeHa

ageHa (also as 'AGH') is a weekend club event in Tokyo, Japan. It is held on Friday and Saturday at the Usen Studio Coast event space in the Shin-Kiba district, which also hosts live concerts and other events.[1] The word Ageha is Japanese 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 in German, they are pronounced as "ah-geh-ha", similar to the Japanese pronunciation of the club's name.
