imo i would like to see japanese artiste doing actual concerts here...even in small clubs (like teh B'Z) insted of just 'anime conventions'.... nothing against anime convetions (my friends go to them) but i think that doing those kinds of events only here in the US seriously limits their appeal and aduience base :/
... but then again i'm some 1 who thinks that knotts berry farm is fun... so i think i should be automaticaly dissqualified from having anykind of oppinion of this knd of stuff.... >.<

Heh, well you gotta start off small I guess. Maybe she's afraid she won't have as many fans as she does in Japan that will turn up for the concert. I'd love to attend but seattle is a bit far from me. I wish B'z came somewhere near me. Those guys are great!

Yeah she actually did. Although TM revolution did go perform at Otakon (Maryland), I wasn't there to see it :[ Tamaki Nami is going to perform on the West Coast later this year at http://fanime.com/guests/ though. Maybe I should have applied to some West Coast Colleges :naughty:
