We love Anime Matsuri. Look, we love it enough to give it its on tag on Japanator. We love it enough to insist that you go if at all possible -- it's that great of an event.
And you know who else is going to love it this year? Miyavi.
Following Anime Matsuri's tradition of top-notch musical guests, Japanese megastar Miyavi will take the stage this year in Houston, Texas, during the April 10-12 event. He'll rock the stage live in a special performance put together just for this event, and specially priced Miyavi merchandise will be available in Anime Matsuri's dealer's room after the show. In 2008, Miyavi set off on a 30+ show, 14 country tour, and now he's coming to Houston in 2009 to rock the U.S.
Wow. What a big act, and for an event that's only going on their third year?
You're going to want to be there. I spoke with the heads of the event a couple of days ago, and I can tell you that they've got some really amazing things lined up. We will be there. We'll have more news and details on Anime Matsuri as we draw closer to April.
Oh, wait... what's this? It seems that a certain Japanese geek culture Web site is scheduled to host the Hentai Fest/Ultimate Ecchi panel event on Friday, April 10th from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. I wonder what site that could be!
I'd say, after seeing this new announcement, that Anime Matsuri is going to be packed this year. Better get over to Anime Matsuri and register.
No matter how far we go, we can't outrun it Even if time goes on, it won't go away Then, how far do we have to struggle along before we realize The memories of that faraway day?
If we look at the sky at dawn It's a brand new world Gazing at the single shining star in our dreams Because we will take back the dreams we'd lost Time and time again to each passing day We don't need a world of lies and deceit It's within our grasp
That's right, we're always waiting No matter how long it takes, we wait Because the dream that we're always hold in our hearts On the road that goes on forever Will surely come true We'll go on, crying, laughing
Unable to reach the end of the night in which we felt A sudden feeling of loneliness, no matter how long it takes (the end of) I challenged the sky, Why do tears fall like this?
Pursuing passion all the time It's a brand new world Because we had found the light In the days that darkened in pain Shines on a single destination Thoroughly paving the way We don't need a future that taints our pride It's within our grasp
That's right, someone is surely waiting Waiting, wishing to tell us something We'll continue on the endless road Shouting ourselves hoarse as we Endlessly chase after that dream That shines as it shows our future
The hope of wanting to be touched by a love that goes on forever Overflowing in you and I The love within this heart (The love within this heart) Each and every one of them (Each and every one of them) Confirm the meaning why we were born
We're always waiting (waiting, waiting)
That's right, we're always waiting No matter how long it takes, we wait Because the dream we're always holding in our hearts On that endless road Will surely come true We'll continue on, crying, laughing.
That's right, someone is surely waiting Waiting, wishing to tell us something We'll continue on that endless road Shouting ourselves hoarse as we Endlessly chase after that dream That shines as it shows our future.
This is the movement Looking for my life I can find myself It's a brand new world This is the movement Looking for my life I can find myself This is the movement.
