Attention all J-Pop and Anime fans: If you didn't get your fill of J-Pop madness during our J-Pop Special, then let me introduce you to the new J-Pop supergroup Kalafina, who will dazzle your J-Pop eyes and ears, and J-Pop the J-Pop out of you, you J-Popper you.
These stylish Harajuku meets Steampunk couture ladies, are famous for the theme song they created for the anime film series "The Garden of Sinners" which has sold over 500,000 DVDs! Their first 3 singles even placed in the Top 10 Hits on the Oricon Chart! (That's like the Japanese equivalent of Billboard, like totally.)
Kalafina will be making their US debut at Anime Boston towards the end of May, so if you've got your passes already, be sure to add their concert on your things to see before you hit up the Iron Karaoke or Human Chess game.
Moshi moshi!!-Dawn
