That’s right, the Momoi Haruko concert from AX 2007 is coming out on DVD! Despite being treated with neglect and disrespect by the convention staff (Canned Dogs coverage) Momoi managed to keep her spirits up and prepare for the concert, presenting herself to the small crowd of fans gathered in the ghastly Monday morning time slot allotted her with a true professionalism and genuine energy that is hard to describe without having been there. It was easily one of the top five concerts of my life, and I’ll definitely be picking this up to relive the experience (despite the hefty 7,560 yen price tag… ;_;). The disc is set for release on January 1st of next year, with initial sales planned at the Toranoana booth at Comiket 73 (December 29th through the 31st). (no more)

yes i heard it was a great concert. and yes the ax staff totally suck but what can you expect from people getting paid with free room, and pass.
wasn’t manzo there as well?
Yeah, he was! That was a totally amazing surprise. My only critique of the concert was that his guitar work was a bit off on the encore, but his renditions of Nihon Break Kougyou and My Pace Daiou were absolutely outstanding.
The concert was amazing and I’m excited to see the DVD :) The downside is it’s only for sale at Tora no Ana (doesn’t ship overseas…)
>>mappy
It’s a bummer that only Tora is stocking it. I wonder if they’ll arrange some deal for it to be distributed in the US… If not there are always proxy services. :/
