We haven't worked that out completly yet. Hopefuly we'll have that info in the next two weeks.

[GeneralNacho]

I'm still mad at myself for missing The Pillows when they were there. My own fault though. I can only hope they come back over here again and play at a closer location than they did last summer.


High and Mighty Color is pretty good though.

And I hate to sound like an idiot but who are the Spiral Spiders? I've never heard any songs done by them, and if I have I don't know it. Wikipedia only has a stub on them and the official site won't load for me...so...yeah.

Spiral Spiders seems like a very small, newer band. However, their lead singer is produced by Daisuke Asakura (Ice Man, producer of many other artists like TM Revolution I believe...) and sung the opening theme song of Gravitation. >3

[sammy-45]

We are working on getting thier bios, when we get them they will be up here!!!

[Soshen]

does anyone know where I could find some songs by these guys? I'm trying to find some over torrent's and limewire, but to no avail... any help is appreciated, thanks!

*is still hoping for Miyavi*

[Kalista315]

I've heard news that Miyavi's going to perform at Las Vegas soon.

It would be wicked if he could make it to Acen as well.

(I for one would die to see him there xD)

I'm excited for High and Mighty Color as well as Spiral Spiders though.

Acen's 10th anniversary sounds like it's going to be a blast.

[ito]

TT_TT
...welll, I've never heard of Spiral Spider so they could be good but I never like high and mighty color... off to search for Spiral Spider stuff

lol! Bleach fan, right? And to me, D-Technolife pwned all the other openings. XD I cry not being able to see UVERworld in concert.

But I like H&M Color too!!! So yay!

[Otaku Otoko]

>>>---------KITA---------<<< High and Mighty Color is playing at ACen this year. This is the best. I am going to see the band that played "Pride" for the Gundam Seed opening and "Ichirin no Hana" for the 3rd Bleach opening. They have a great sound for many people. A catchy pop/heavy rock mix. The instrumentalist are freaking awesome. Their new album comes out the 21st of Feb. I hope we get to hear some of the new stuff live. Anyone who skips this concert will regret it. Plus Maakii , the 20 year old female singer is quite kawaii<3^_^.

[GrinninCheshire]

Does anyone know any good songs by Spiral Spider?

A friend of mine was hoping for this one band...it had something to do with space pirates the video that was shown entertained me.

Hi there!
I'm Katy, I run the Yosuke Sakanoue MySpace. Are Spiral Spiders definintely confirmed? Just checking for confirmation so i can put the news up on the MySpace page :3

*so sad I'll be missing them T-T. I live in England. Been a fan of Sakkan for 5 years or so. I'll see them eventually...*

edit:
Also, just cause a few people seem not to know who SPASPA are...
They are a small independent rock band. Yes, they are fronted by Yosuke Sakanoue. However he's no longer produced by Daisuke Asakura (they parted company rather violently in 2004) and although he plays his old songs (such as SUPER DRIVE) they're more rocky in style nowadays.
Also Sakkan looks NOTHING like how he used to. XD
They also have a keyboardist called Sora Izumikawa, who wrote the score for the anime Bottle Fairy.
They don't seem like a typical Anime con choice though which is why I was so confused...they're very Western influenced pop, haha.

She's 19! =P

Anyways. I'm disappointed that everyone isn't hyped up about H&MC! I must say, I am their biggest fan by far. =3 I was looking forward to going to Anime Detour here in MN, but now i can't wait for ACen, at first I was all indecisive about going all the way down to IL for ACen, but after finding out H&MC is going, I instantly decided I'm going for sure, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. The only thing in the world that makes me turn into a fanboy. >___>

I would love to see UVERworld there too. =D

[shonen_jidai]

All I can say is Yeah! and Yeah! Can't wait to see the concerts and get some autographs too!

[amandajayde]

Wow this rocks High and Mightly Color makes me soooooooooo happy! ... but i've never seen the musical guest before what do i have to do

[sammy-45]

Well amandajayde you dont have to really do anything special.

we dont charge extra to see our musical guests, the price you pay for the con is the only one you pay- unless you go to the Charity Masqurade Ball(that is a $10 extra donation that goes to Children's Memeorial Hopsital) .

You may have to wait in a really long line to see them. But the ballroom holds tons of people. So you get to come and just enjoy the show!!!

[excel excel]

I look forward to seeing High And Mighty Color. I loved the opening intro to Bleach! I cant believe they are gonna be at acen! WOOT!

I couldnt find the topic in the Programming, so sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. I'm an ACen n00b, soooo what's the Masquerade Ball and are the Musical Guests performing for it? I assume so because you brought it up when someone asked about paying to see them. @_@ Aaaand the programming on the main page says it's limited to 250 people, if I send in extra $10 and it's filled up, what happens. >_> I just wanna meet H&MC badly.
^-^;;;

[Cherry_Wolf]

One year, I can't remember which one (03 maybe?) I kind of just strolled into part of the concert(Duel Jewel, I believe)... but I remember having to get a ticket for the Pillows, it was free, but you had to have a ticket to get in and they marked your name tag so they know you got one... is that going to happen this year as well for High and Mighty Color, or was me stumbling into the concert in 03 just a lucky coincidence where they don't scan me to make sure I had gotten my ticket? =D ?
