I find that Makino Yui’s voice becomes jarring/ear-screeching at certain pitch ranges, and Yokogao in particular (I love the tune) has those killing pitches in quite a few occasions.

She sounds great after post-processing though! xD

Hey hey hey Yui-chan’s singing doesn’t

doesn’t sound

…

Reminds me, I once listened to a live version of Yokogao, and I cringed a litle… but it wasn’t that bad… /self-delusion

I always found that concept of autographs pretty much ridiculous, but that’s perhaps because I know that there are thousands getting one as well. I think it only makes sense if it’s rare. ^^

That would be a shame if she sang live and it stunk. :(

I attended a Con in Hong Kong just to take a peek at what it was. It was cheap, with the entry fee at US$3.2/€2.3/£2. The animecon in Hong Kong was more crowded than the “mainstream” book fair held a few days prior…oh the irony – is the “non-mainstream” taking over the world? xD

Most important lesson for me for any future viewing is to check the schedules, which you’ve obviously done! Yui Makino should be interesting, although her live singing kinda sucks.

Anime Expo in LA this year was the first anime con that I attended. Thinking back on it now, I regret wasting so much time there standing in long lines for hours while waiting for autographs (did this multiple times).

The merchant booths are great and I hope you pick up some cool things there. Have fun and I look forward to seeing your coverage on it!

Yeah when I read she was part of Aria, I though “neko must know who she is!” xD

Cons are a lot of fun if you go with people, hopefully you get around to one eventually!

WHAT! YUI MAKINO!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHH
I usually am not really bent on stars/idols but Yui-chan sang the ARIA openings…

Wish I could attend a con at least once in my young life… T_T
