The Asian Karaoke Idol Invitational (TAKII) 5 ~Shin Seiki (Neon Genesis)~ Announced: Expanding to 2 Days

September 9th, 2007 -- Upper Darby, PA -- Sho (fire), hi (soul), ai (love). These 3 ANGELic aspects symbolize some of the most important aspects of the spring season. However, there is one unNERVing hardcore element absent from the mix. The best there is, was, & ever will be in extreme Asian music/gaming fusion festivals returns for its 5th season with 1 groundbreaking change: expansion into 2 days! TAKII 5 ~Shin Seiki (Neon Genesis)~ is FREE & comes to you from Philadelphia's own The Rotunda @ 4014 Walnut St. on April 5th-6th 2008.

TAKII 4 ~Rhythm D-Generation X-Treme~ not only served as the launchpad for some of TAKII's newest events that will continue on next season (AMV & Cosplay Battle Royales, Video Lounge, TAKII Legends Performance Series, & more), but was also the site for the day's biggest announcement: starting with TAKII 5, all future seasons of TAKII will be at least 2 DAYS LONG! And in a burst of emotion akin to Shinji Ikari crying a SOULful REFRAIN, TAKII faithful shouted their boundless approval of the news, bringing emotions to a fusion festival fever pitch. How could the TAKII brand expand into an additional day? Could TAKII 5 stand the heat that is the intensity of its fans worldwide? ....but of course ^_*.

An additional day to celebrate all that is Asian music & video gaming only means festival-goers should expect nothing but the highest quality tier of Asian Entertainment. Be amazed as the good, bad, & downright disturbed compete for vocal glory in TAKII's own Asian Karaoke Idol Show. Be astonished as you are witness to uncanny cosplayers strut their stuff to come out on top in our Cosplay Battle Royale. Be inspired as you aspire to achieve TAKII immortality in 1 of our varied world championship-quality gaming tournaments. Above all else, be anxious as you become witness to the returns of some very honorable guests, Otaku Jeopardy, eclectic dealers, an unforgettable Wild Card moment, Say WTF Karaoke, & so much MORE!

The days, weeks, & months leading up to TAKII 5 ~Shin Seiki (Neon Genesis)~ will begin to reveal to the world more reasons why April 2008 will mark the dawning of a new day in the land of extreme Asian culture appreciation. So pack up your favorite mic, Wiimote, a cosplay or 2, & hold on tight; it's going to be an amazing ride. "To the extreme, 2 DAYS LONG!"
