I'm also really impressed by the name of Sugizo.
I know it's not really the kind of music people around here listen much, but still... he is one of the most famous guy in the J-Rock industry! I came to visual kei before I came to Maaya, so I'm just.. o_o

I checked everyone, they are all veterans!
The interesting thing about Sugizo is that he's not a singer but a guitarist. So will "bike" will be only instrumental?

You're right about Sugizo, in his solo projects, there is not much vocal...

I'll wait for the Shoko-san song too. I find it a little awkward to make a cover of a song you already have composed and produced...

Im shocked too! Ive listened to luna sea for a long time.. almost as long as with maaya. even I still listen to them once in a while now. Tonight is one of my fave track from them. Sugizo and inoran were one of the famous duo. The only song I remembered from his solo is dear child? If im not mistaken. He focuses on the accoustic sounds probably together with the use of synth and some sound editing.
just close your eyes and follow your HEART --> vanished to dust T.

The good thing with this tribute thing is that it allows me to discover famous artists.

The natalie article gives more details about them, especially about Negicco who performed on stage with Maaya last year during the YANO MUSIC FESTIVAL 2014. Does someone know about that?

Does this mean that these artists will be performing the songs? All my favorite songs are on there :heart:

Omg Akino Arai singing Kiseki no Umi!!!

(On an unrelated note, there's an AA concert which was around the same time as Maaya's concert but tickets ran out so fast. And they just added a concert on the same day as Maaya's :'( Whyyy.)

Apparently if you attend the 20th anniversary concert, you can a special cover. Wish everyone could get it, because the other ones are blah. :P

Sugoi :)
So we have to not pre-order it and wait in the queue a few hours to get the special cover, that's it ?
I remember for Gift, it was just hell (I don't like to wait...)

The best is to get there early on Saturday, and start doing the queue as soon as possible. Once you get the goodies, you can do something else and come back for the live ;)
