Akiba Fest: J-Pop Halloween Ball

Date: October 27, 2007

Location: Jaxx Nightclub, Springfield Va.

Artist Performing
Psychic Lover
Salia


I was incredibly excited for this concert, not only for Salia because she is a lot of fun to watch, but because Psychic Lover was part of this concert. I am a huge fan of the theme from Deka Ranger and the music from Boukenger (I went in costume as Bouken Yellow for this event). So I was incredibly excited for this event.

The event started off with the costume contest, announcing the winner of the t-shirt design contest and a group of three dancers.

Up first was Psychic Lover. They sang many of their Anime themes they have done (Withblade, Transformers, Yu-Gi-Oh) and then also did some Deka Ranger music as well. Thier set was so amazing and full of energy. At one point when they were asking the audience if they knew about super sentai they my friend and myself in the audience dressed as Bouken Blue, Black and Yellow and pointed us out, we were all really surprised (but not in a bad way, lol) They seemed incredibly nice, I really hope they get to come back to the US and do another concert.

Next up was Salia, she had a great set, she did a lot more dancing this time than she normally does, it was really neat. After a few songs Shin-go comes out and plays a guitar solo (which was a surprise since he wasn't announced as a guest performer). Salia then comes back out and they do some Unicorn Table songs.

The ending of the concert was the best part of it. Psychic Lover comes back out with Unicorn Table and they do a duet to a song from Magi Ranger, they also did Honey Flash as well, it was incredible. Very much worth the long drive for!!
