@Pitmaker: it was mostly one half going crazy and the other half just sitting quietly, I wish they had offered to sell glow sticks instead of junk food, so everybody could've at least waved it.
AX 10: May'n and Megumi Nakajima concert and photosAs you may well know, Megumi Nakajima and May'n -- known to most of you as the lovely anime idols Ranka Lee, and Sheryl Nome, respectively -- performed a live concert at the Nokia Theater this weekend. To put it simply, the concert was absolutely phenomenal. Both ladies were full of energy, and didn't slow down one bit. While a majority of the songs were from Macross Frontier, as expected, they each surprised the crowd with new songs, unrelated to the series itself, and even had a few surprises in store for us. Check out a detailed summary and our photos after the break. Much akin to their respective characters, May'n seemed a bit more sexy, wearing a simple black vest and a pair of shorts, and showing off her talent with not only in singing but also with dancing. Megumi on the other hand was a bit more adorable, wearing a fluffy blue and white dress with a bright pink and yellow petticoat -- it was very Ranka-esque to say the least. May'n opened the show with "Welcome to my FanClub's Night," which was actually quite fitting, all things considered. It was absolutely adorable when she stopped for a moment before her next song to announce that it was first time in America. She even put the mic into her pocket and formed the letters "LA" with her fingers, which you can see in our gallery below. She continued on with "Northern Cross" and "Universal Bunny," the latter a song that was from the theatrical version of Macross Frontier.

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)That was a fun event. Sound was great and everything on stage had energy. Too tired to remember which song, but it was funny when the backup dancers for May'n did air guitars. Felt a little bad for Megumi when she did songs from her own albums as crowd was mostly dead during those songs. They were good songs too. Crowd failed キラッ☆... wayyy too quiet and stiff audience participation all over. Actually, they did get loud when Yoko Kanno went on stage and for the last two songs. I had so much fun at the concert! I admit, I got a bit emotional when they started playing "Voices", because it's one of my most favorite songs ever. I wasn't expecting that one to show up! Wonderful performance over all! Everybody (including me) cried, screamed and went crazy over these two lovely ladies. I'm very tired of how people kept saying "oh she's way better than her" because they complement each other and have different beautiful voices. These concert proved that, and I feel so lucky for having been there.
@Pitmaker: it was mostly one half going crazy and the other half just sitting quietly, I wish they had offered to sell glow sticks instead of junk food, so everybody could've at least waved it. Do you guys have any video recording or where I can get it because when I went to the concert some f*cking usher kept getting in my way and ruin half of the parts when May'n was singing. Best concert I've EVER been to!!! I got to meet them both and got my ticket signed! ^-^ Best part of AX 2010! ^-^ It was such and awesome concert. I was able to get audio only of Diamond Crevasse. Got to meet May'n, Megumi, & KYAA Konishi as well. May'n told me I looked cute as White Bunny Sheryl. And Konishi added Ozma Lee to his second autograph for me. I got to ask May'n a question about working with Kanno-San and she ends up being the special guest at the concert. I was in fangirl heaven. 11:30 PM on 07.02.2012 AX '12: Sentai licenses a boatload of shows [Update][Update: Sentai added Kokoro Connect, Tari Tari, Space Brothers, Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita, andSomeday's Dreamers II Sora.
