The press conference will be live-broadcasted on Nico Nico Nama Housou’s “Washi-Sta ~Igai to Omoshiroi Bangumi~” at 9pm (JST).

No details have been revealed yet. Hopefully the news is music-related like a new album/single release or international tour. I hope that it is not some heart-breaking announcement that she is getting married. I think my heart will be crushed!

LAWSON is holding a collaborative campaign with Toaru Majutsu no Index: Endymion no Kiseki anime movie from February 12-25. Customers who buy specific products will be able to enter codes printed on their receipt to accumulate points. They can then use those points to enter drawings for Toaru Majutsu no Index movie goods.

The grand prize is an invitation to a special talk show event featuring the voices of Tōma Kamijō (Atsushi Abe), Mikoto Misaka (Rina Satou), Index (Yuka Iguchi), and the movie-only character Arisa Meigo (Sachika Misawa). LAWSON teases that attendees of the March 24 event in Tokyo may have the chance to hear a story from the Toaru Majutsu no Index universe that they can only experience at the event.

Of course there are other prizes, as seen in the picture above. Namely a figure of Misaka Mikoto or clear folders.

According to the website, original goods will also be sold at LAWSON but they have not been revealed yet.

Toaru Majutsu no Index: Endymion no Kiseki movie will premiere in Japan on February 23.
