"MISIA"
I need a ticket to DC NOW!
If she sing "Hoshi No You Ni" from Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy Legend The Movie I will be able to leave this Earth with no regrets.
Damn it of all the times to be a student I would go see this in a heartbeat if not for the fact that I have school.
Hey I'm curious does the Cherry blossom festival usually have foreign performers or is this a special case?
All tickets are sold out already...oh well
