Velfarre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Velfarre is a disco located in the Roppongi district of Tokyo, Japan. It is the self-professed "largest disco in Asia" owned by Komuro Tetsuya and Avex Trax. Velfarre is highly known for its Trance, Eurobeat, Techno and Disco related events. They also hold concerts for Avex Trax artists.

Velfarre has played a huge role in the Para Para scene for years. In 1998, it hosted its first Para Para called SEF HYPER. SEF is a short version of the full full title of the song "Super Euro Flash". Through the past it has gone through 2 other name changes: SEF MACH! (from the 3rd Para Para boom) and now to the present SEF GOLD.

Velfarre announced that they will close their doors on 31 December 2006, after 12 years of operation, citing considerable losses and inability in finding a new buyer.
