LiN CLOVER
ANCEA (Asia Northwest Cultural Education Association) with the support of JapanFiles.com is pleased to welcome second musical guests LiN CLOVER for Sakura-Con 2007. The LiN CLOVER plays an eerily catchy brand of rock that will keep you hooked. It's only natural considering bassist 'Ren' and guitarist 'Nao's previous band was a huge hit in Japan. Added to the excellent vocals of 'Yuri', who sings with incredible power and originality, Sakura-Con members are in for a big treat. Also, LiN CLOVER is nominated for Best Japanese Rock Band at the Shojo Beat Music Awards! Hear sample clips of "Iron Will" and "Renkaiten" here on our site, and come see them at their US debut at Sakura-Con!
