posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Anime Festival Asia's Facebook page announced on Saturday that the Funan Anime Matsuri 2015 festival will host the singer AKINO and the band Bless4. They will perform together in a free concert during the festival on June 13 and June 14.
AKINO debuted with her brothers Akashi and AIKI and her sister Kanasa in the band bless 4, with the single "Good Morning! Mr.Sunshine." AKINO made her solo debut with the "Genesis of Aquarion" and "Go Tight" singles (Genesis of Aquarion opening themes), both composed by Yoko Kanno. She has since performed several songs for anime shows, including "A Chance to Shine" for Oban Star-Racers, "Extra Magic Hour" for Amagi Brilliant Park, and "Miiro" for Kantai Collection -Kan Colle-.
AKINO released her Dicennia album on March 25. The album is her first in eight years. The title Dicennia — literally "decades" in Latin — symbolizes the 10th anniversary of her solo debut in 2005, and her aspirations for the next 10 years.
This year's Funan Anime Matsuri will also host illustrators Ikkyuu and Nao Shirahane (aka Dmyo). The event will be held in the Funan DigitalLife Mall in Singapore from June 8 to June 14.
