Mylene Night #2 — Chie Kajiura & Co. in concert, February 2nd, 2012 in Shibuya

Yay for almost-two-week-old news.

On February 2nd, 2012, Mylene Jenius celebrated her -19th (that’s MINUS nineteenth) birthday, and to celebrate, psychedelic goth rockin’ lady Chie Kajiura got together with her band and some other friends to perform in a second annual “Mylene Night” concert, consisting of INCREDIBLE renditions of Macross songs old and new.

Save, Tochiro and I scored some tickets and mosey’d on down to check it out.
