posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The Cosplay Mania convention announced on Wednesday that it will feature the Starmarie pop idol group as a musical guest for the convention as part of its "I Love Anisong" collaboration with SOZO.
Starmarie formed in 2008, and currently consists of the members Nozomi Kishita, Shino Takamori, Monya Nakane, Hiroka Matsuzaki, and Kaede Watanabe. The group performed the song "Mekurumeku Yūki," the fourth ending theme song of the Cardfight!! Vanguard G TV anime. The song first appeared in the anime's 37th episode. Starmarie released their latest album, Fantasy World 3, in April 2014, and released their latest single, "Hime wa Rankiryū☆Goikkō-sama," on April 20. The song served as the opening theme song of the Onigiri anime, where Starmarie members Monya Nakane and Nozomi Kishita also debuted as voice actresses.
Anime Festival Asia applies the "I Love Anisong" brand to its anime song concerts that take place at its conventions. Artists and singers with songs featured in anime series or films usually headline the events, and the concerts typically take place at every night of the duration of the convention.
Cosplay Mania will take place on October 1-2 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay, Metro Manila. It previously announced Back-On as a musical guest.
