SOOOO excited. they haven't announced the Sunday night concert yet but it's sure to be someone really awesome since this is their 20th anniversary. they have a contest going to guess who it is, whoever guesses right goes into a draw to win front of line access to the concert, autograph session and meet and greet session plus swag. How cool is that? I doubt I'll win but I put my guess in anyways.

Also Vamps AND Miyavi have talked about doing a world tour this year. I imagine Miyavi will hit Toronto again so I'm super stoked for that, but if Vamps comes too omg I'll die. I really can't afford to go to a ton of concerts but I can't miss out on either of them so I'll have to find a way to make it happen. (and just hope neither of them come on the same weekend as Otakon)

*praying for both to come Finland*

Ah I forgot to come back and update after Otakon.

so TMR was amazing. Not only did I go to the concert, but also to the Q&A panel, and stood in line outside in the heat for a chance to get a ticket to the autograph session. which I GOT! just barely. in the dealers room they were selling a limited Otakon-only pre-release of Geisha Boy, the new compilation cd of all anime themes by TMR. they only had so many and apparently sold out on the first day of the con. I managed to get one, so that's what I got him to autograph.
OMG it was amazing. he recognized my cosplay ^_^ he was really adorable at the panel and autograph session, but on stage he's so sexy. such a good performer.
while in the dealers room I also found a booth selling cd's, it was mostly soundtracks but they had a small selection of actual albums. I managed to find a copy of Undercover 2. it cost me like $45 but totally worth it, I've been listening to it nonstop, it's so good.

also my friends at JRocker FanClub USA got an exclusive interview with TMR at Otakon for JPop Asia, please check it out ^_^

not VK but also got to see Home Made Kazoku at the con, they were great, and then at an afterparty we saw the Akabane Vulgars on Strong Bypass. those girls kick butt!

Really love that guy, one hell of a voice.

Ahh~ Malice Mizer vocalists discussion is always fun xD
Mine is Klaha as well, though his voice is so incredible I can't really tell whether he was really singing or not... he sounded exactly like the studio songs and I can hardly find moments on which it sounds at least slightly different.

As for Tetsu, he struggled in lives because he just didn't have voice BUT he sang with such an emotion... it is thrilling.

I'm the same actually! Gackt's voice is great, but somehow I like Klaha more. Yes, there's the Bara ni irodorareta live on which he sings but again, I can't decide whether he was singing or not xD He was indeed shy, or maybe that was his personality within the band, which totally matched
