MAGfest releases their full performer lineupI'm going to be hitting up MAGfest for the first time ever this January, and I'm ridiculously excited. Yesterday, I received a press release revealing the full performer lineup for the event, which includes names like Kinuyo Yamashita (notable: Castlevania), Those Who Fight (Final Fantasy-themed rock opera), Super Guitar Bros, Professor ShyGuy, and many more brilliant artists. Are any of you Japanator readers also attending? I'd love to meet you! A team of sister site Destructoid's editors will also be there to join in the fun, so I'm looking forward to partying hard to the beats of nerddom in good company.
