Thanks to member jvmacross for letting us post this.
Wow… Fans in Japan should be happy about this!
To celebrate the 30th anniversery of Macross, the Fire Bomber band from Macross
Seven will be having a concert on November 23rd in Tokyo followed by a
show on the 24th in Osaka. The last Fire Bomber reunion concert was in 2009 and the one prior to that was 2007.

Yoshiki Fukuyama has also announced via his website and the Official Macfross Fan Club that he will be doing a tribute tour: ‘Yoshiki Fukuyama Sings FIRE BOMBER ~ A Tribute to Nekki Basara~.’
The tour will kick off on September 1st and include 8 shows over the course of four weeks at different cities throughout Japan. The last solo Tribute concert that Fukuyama did was in 2005, although he has been known to spring the odd impromtu Macross gig on fans, as he did during Christmas in 2010.

Judging from this scan, I should ask for the day off ahead of time if I want to transform this baby.
These include the 1:1 scale statues of Minmay, Sheryl and Ranka, as well as scaled display stands of various Frontier characters. Also pictured in the article are various exhibit displays.
From GA comes the first pics of the 1:1 scale VF-25 Messiah display. Now stare at the pics while I wipe the drool of my keyboard…sglokijuxdtcrgyhijuok;lpkojygfu[lntyjo0u ctjiyuh87tg6fred3wtygfr6hjkhy87xzededstyvuyytvrezxtghfyvjuikouhytregyhikohuy7tyfgetgyhjuikohuytgfvtryhujikouhytfgtyhujihy7tgtgyhuijhy87tr6grrtyghuj

I have just come back from Shibuya.
I could get the numbered ticket of Mikimoto-san’s autograph session.
Shibuya.
You know this building. Well, Parco is not this one.
After taking the picture above, I went to Parco Part 1. About 40 fans were waiting then.
In the venue, Taking pictures are prohibited. I rewatched the web site couldn’t find out such a rule…
[Editor’s note: I’ve been meaning to post our very own member Vanpang and Ikhii’s interviews on the front page since day one. In celebration of May’n’s World Tour and it’s US leg, I guess there’s no better time than now to get to it. Next week will be his 2011 follow up. Better late than never...]
The Anime Festival Asia 2009 (AFA 2009) was held at Suntec Convention & Exhibition Centre, Singapore on the 21st and 22nd November 2009. AFA09 spanned over 5,000 square metres of floorspace at the convention hall and is the biggest anime convention in South East Asia. The AFA09 organizers managed to get an impressive list of famous artistes and personalities in the anime industry to participate in AFA09. Those personalities included Nakabayashi Mei (aka “May’n”), Yoshiki Fukuyama, Ichirou Mizuki, Shoko Nakagawa (aka “Shoko-Tan”), Kaname, Danny Choo and Director Mamoru Hosoda (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars)
Macrossworld members ikhii and vanpang had an opportunity to interview May’n. However we regret to inform that we did not manage to interview Yoshiki Fukuyama due to uninformed changes of his schedule at the very last minute.
