The official site of “SACRA MUSIC” also stated the following:
“Please look forward to overseas events, live holdings, song releases on a global scale.”
Oh man, I’m definitely looking forward to this! Good thing they included some seiyuus such as Sako Tomohisa and Kana Hanazawa. And Kalafina and ClariS on the top of this list makes me happy lol XD. I just wonder why Aimer, fripSide and others didn’t involved with this. I just hope they’ll perform together here in PH, or else release something new together. Ahhhh! I can’t wait to see how this will turn out! 🙂
