Fan favorite An Cafe returns as a nominee to Shojo Beat's music awards for the third year in a row. The trendy five-man oshare kei band has come a long way since our Best Rising Star nomination in 2007. They played anime convention Fanime in the United States and then toured Europe throughout 2008, promoting their newest album, Goku-Tama Rock Cafe.
