[Diedie]

Hey guys and gals, (Remember to scroll down for updates!)

It’s me Diedie, this year in addition to my normal plans that I intend to apply for, and I’m working with JRR to hopefully bring in a Jrockrevolution panel to everyone this year (if everything goes according to plan).

While doing that, I am also going to keep this thread updated with information.
As many of you may know, I host panels encouraging for people to expand their horizons. For example, those who watch anime and become fans of the theme songs—I ask you to investigate further and listen to more of musician’s releases.


So if you aren’t following us (JRR) on twitter, facebook, etc. or don’t often check the homepage—keep an eye on this thread.

(Just as a heads up, I really try to make sure I keep updated with anime conventions hosting musicians as guests, I hope you all can make it to some of these events!)

Check JRR's home page at:
http://www.jrockrevolution.com/

Feel free to stop in and discuss anything, especially if you're going to an event!

I never knew about this site that's awesome and I will definitely follow you guys on facebook and if you do make a panel I will for sure go because I really want to find more music by my favorite JRock artists that I discover through anime series.

[Diedie]

Awesome, glad to be of some help and I really hope to see you at the con!

Also, I host a panel that specifically relates to that
(so not only will I be doing a JRR panel -- if everything works out-- I will FOR SURE be applying for my "It's more than a theme song" Panel)

Also...

PANEL OFFICIALLY SUBMITTED


Hey guys and gals!
Just thought I would let you know I have officially submitted the Jrockrevolution.com, keeping you updated! panel (along with my other panel, I host not part of JRR— Jrock and pop: it’s more than a theme song) to ACEN.

Keep your fingers crossed that everything goes well and hopefully you’ll be easily able to find me at ACEN and give feedback to me, personally. If there is anything you want to see for the panel, let me know and I can probably try to work it in.

Once the panel is (hopefully) approved, I’ll make a separate panel thread. But for now, feel free to shoot me any ideas!

The band hopes to reschedule a show in Beijing in the near future.

All other shows on X Japan’s South East Asia tour itinerary will be performed as scheduled:

October 28 – Seoul, Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium
October 30 – Shanghai, Shanghai Grand Stage
November 4 – Hong Kong, Asia World Expo
November 6 – Taipei, Nangang Exhibition Hall
November 8 – Bangkok, Impact Arena
