Hi everyone! Long time no I've news. There hasn't been much good happening: LSP has disbanded and Nami and Rin have apparently left I've. Now I've basically has only three full-time singers with them (Mami, Airi Kirishima, and the new girl Yuzuno) along with some frequent guests (MAKO, Ray, Maon Kurosaki).
But I'd like to focus on the good news! First off: I've will be celebrating their 15th anniversary with a special concert at Tokyo Dome City Hall. This concert is called "IVE RADICAL ENSENBLE OF 15th ANNIVERSARY". I know it's a long time away, but I wanted to bring this up because who's ready for lots of guest appearances by former I've singers?? I know I am, so I hope they will get Eiko, KOTOKO, Kaorin, and others to participate (I dare not even think about MOMO or SHIHO popping up, that would be the greatest thing but seems kinda wishful thinking...).
In other interesting news: I've will be collaborating with Maon Kurosaki for a tribute album to anime Tokyo Ravens. The album is to be released in July, no further info on the matter yet. I'm curious to see how this turns out.
Also, something definitely worth checking out: I've recently did a live concert with a wide ensemble of guest performers, including their own singers Mami Kawada, Yuzuno, Airi Kirishima, and C.G. mix, guest collaborators Ray and Maon Kurosaki, former I've diva Eiko Shimamiya, and surprise guest Aoi Eir! It was a great watch, so if you have an hour to kill, I wholeheartedly recommend this! Here come the link and setlist.
