Very sorry about the slow updates for the past year *Bows* i've been traveling a lot and working even harder to afford the travels. i have quite afew Concerts to add to the list now. Unfortunatly from august 2008 until July 2009 I will most likely attend almost no concerts due to the fact i am going to be in Japan seeing all the lovely concerts there ^-^ i will take the time though between that to update more often.

very nice info!

[mercy]

Thats awesome ^_^ I think its great that you've made it to so many concerts and things...we had an agent to a Japanese singer contact us about them coming up for Aurora-Con 07...quite frankly we're still in shock about it, and undecided as well >_< its a costly endeavor to say the least, but I think its awesome that we were contacted ^_^ hopefully when Anchorage has a better place to hold large concerts and events we can look into having more international guests up here.

[cyhretmis]

My life wouldnt be the same without seeing and meeting the Jrockers. I just wish I wouldnt have missed Phatasmagorea, Blood, The Pillows, or now that i found out I'm going to miss 12012 ;-; makes me so sad.

lol I wonder if it was DespairsRay's company or Dacco with Yura-sama ^.^;; I told Yura-sama at dinner that i moved across country from Alaska for Jrock. ^.^;;

^o^ I hope when you do get bigger you get Jrock! They are sooo great to see live. It can make or break and artist sometimes seeing them live. Especially Visual Kei groups. You cant get the whole bit behind them without seeing them live.

[cyhretmis]

New Link Added ^o^ I added the link to the Family Values Tour/Dir en Grey concert up.

[Kakashi_Sensei]

Nice work

[sailorveggie]

I wish we had stuff like that up here.

[mercy]

AuroraCorp is working on it...it takes a lot of $$$ to do it. But we're looking into future events where we can get some J-bands in Alaska ^_^

[cyhretmis]

Awsome ^o^ I would sujest being in contact with jpophouse/jhouserock They bring over a lot of the bands here and provide a vendors table as well. So far they have brought Psycho le Cemu, Dacco, Dir en Grey, DespairsRay, Phantasmagorea, and Blood over. They can be reached via www.jhouserock.com www.jpophouse.com and.. d**n I forget their Anime Site >.< they also have a magazine they have started. Its a nice up and comming company. John and Harry are awsome guys ^o^

yes very costly though but a future Jrocker is a great goal ^o^

[mercy]

Most of the time I wish I was in the lower 48 so I could at least drive to another city to see some of the concerts...I guess I'll just have to work that much harder to try and get the opportunity to get them here to Alaska.

[cyhretmis]

I know it is hard -_- My reasoning for moving was the lack of Conventions (when I lived there since there was none and now there are two) and teh Severe lack of Jrock and others near me that liked what I liked. Though.. even though I live here even I am missing out. I missed Blood, The Pillows, Larc en Ciel, Dacco, 12012, and Hyde all because I dont live close enough and didnt know until teh day of the concert that Blood was just two towns over from me >o<

[cyhretmis]

^-^ Yes my Jrock year is going to start with a bang. If I do win the Dinner i will be sooo happy ^o^

[mercy]

I would like to get to an East Coast anime con at some point, possibily Anime Boston or Otakon, but I also want to try and get to a con in Vegas as well...for no certain reason <_< >_> *yay for gambling* but I want to get to some other cons sooner than later. Its good to know that someone else is able to. If by chance you get your hands on an extra con book, maybe you'd be willing to pass it along to me ^_^ I'd be happy to pay the shipping charges...I just wanna see some other con books!

[cyhretmis]

I would be happy to send you the con books. I think I have one from every con I've been too. I highly recomend Otakon. Otakon tends to have the big band guests ^-^ It is the largest one in this area and I think it is tied with megacon for largest East Coast convention. For a good one closer to Alaska I suggest trying Sakura-con in Seattle, WA they take over the hotel channel and brodcast Anime into everyones hotel rooms ^-^ They also have a great Music guest every year. thsi year they hav LiN the band Ren (Ex Guitarist for gackt). I will see what books I can dig up to send you ^-^ If you ever need hotel Crash space you are more then welcome to join our group ^-^ We hit Otakon every year and Katsucon. We are skipping AnimeNext this year due to it being so much closer to Otakon then it has been before. cant afford both.
