AKB48 To Perform at New York Anime Fest

The 2009 New York Anime Festival, an anime, manga, and Japanese pop culture convention from the creators of New York Comic Con, will take place September 25-27, 2009 at the Jacob K. Javits Center in Manhattan, and AKB48 joins Yoshiyuki Tomino — the Director of Mobile Suit Gundam — and Yui Makino — the voice of Sakura in Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE — as guests.

AKB48 will hold a Q&A session, autographing, and short concert at the Jacob Javits Center on Saturday, September 26 2009.. A full concert will be presented in NYC’s Webster Hall on September 27.

Any readers heading to NYAF next month? Actually looking forward to the performance by them ~_~. Too bad I live in Singapore. LOL. Found a clip at Youtube clip which was their LIVE at Paris for Japan Expo 2009. 16 of their members were there. Enjoy XD.

    Namida Surprise by them is surprisingly one of the most played songs on my playlist now despite my initial feelings of irritation when i heard the song.
