We've been reporting on the line-up changes to the band HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR for some time now. Well, we will now get the chance to see those changes manifest when the band hits the stage at Sakura-Con next year.
The three day event in Seattle takes place from April 2nd to the 4th. This will be the first time HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR has trod upon American soil since singer Makii left to pursue other activities. Their new singer, HALCA, has since stepped in. The band released their new album swamp man earlier this year.
So what say you, H&MC fans? Are you already booking your tickets?
