It was good to hear the announcement from all three members live.

The day 1 of Animelo Summer Live 2016 concert went well, finishing by 9:30pm compared with 9pm other years. Rica Matsumoto was a surprise guest.

Set list at: http://anisama.tv/special/setlist.php

Do any ANN readers besides myself attend these concerts btw?

Wow! That looks like it was a fantastic time!

I love ALTIMA. I really do. So 2016 has been an awful year for me for music. Mami Kawada retired, Galileo Galilei, a few other hiatus, some people have died Sad..... but in this case, I can't be too upset. ALTIMA has barely released anything during their existence so sometimes I felt like they were already on hiatus >.>. I hope they do come back better than ever.

Holy crap! The title scared the crap out of me thinking something happened. Glad it wasn't anything bad. I love ALTIMA and hope they come back recharged(and hopefully perform more anime op/ed's since Maon gets her fill there already).

I actually think that's the real reason why. They're last single for the Accel World movie and kind of bombed and also they are signed onto Lantis who are really just pushing True, OldCodex and Choucho right now and also have this little gig called Love Live School Idol Project that's way bigger than anything else in their catalog. I have a feeling they're going to jump ship to a bigger label more interested in giving them active work and promotion like a lot of other acts have lately.

Personally i find Maon Kurosaki's best work to be outside of ALTIMA anyway. Hopefully she gets more anime songs.

ALTIMA is actually signed under Warner

I barely knew that this was a thing to begin with. Isn't Maon and Satoshi way more busy with the solo career / fripSide respectively anyway?

I hope that you find it as enjoyable as I do. Make sure that you have enough pocari sweat or rehydration of choice for it.

I've been 2011/2012/2013/2015 and this year has been really good.

PS, Maon Kurosaki is appearing solo in Sunday's concert.

Saturday's set list has been added to the URL that I posted previously. Another really great concert.
