March 27th, 2012 -- Upper Darby, PA -- It was less than a year ago that The Asian Karaoke Idol Invitational concluded its landmark 11th season, celebrating over 5 glorious years of "the most extreme Asian culture fusion festival" the Universe has ever seen. It also marked the birth of "a new generation of celebration" with the addition of more Co-Coordinators, tweaked festivities, & a more greatly enhanced relationship with our venue, The Rotunda. Since that fateful weekend in May 2011, we've been working feverishly on feedback we've received from our fans, combined with brand new opportunities, to produce what the world shall know as TAKII 13 ~United We Stand~! Returning to Philly, PA's own The Rotunda (newly-renovated & recently-expanded) on May 26th & 27th, 2012, our FREE ENTRY 13th season looks brightly towards the future with a spirit of life, love, & fusion festival equality.

In order to kick off this season right, we have revamped our #1 Contender's Pass & Vendor Table Slot pre-regging with even more nifty features & incentives! With the purchase of a Vendor Table Slot, you gain the invaluable ability to sell your swag, show off your art, promote your organizations, & you earn Free! #1 Contender's Passes in the process. When you pre-reg for a #1 Contender's Pass, you earn the right to participate in ALL of our "Pass-Exclusive" festivities (without paying $5.00 per festivity), gain access to a limited edition of our Hardcore Handbook, & are cordially invited to our post-TAKII "Domo Arigatou" party! When you pre-reg for a Pass, or a Slot, you also are automatically entered into a special drawing for prizes such as additional Contender's Passes & Table Slots, sponsor-themed gift packs, & special savings (that don't ever expire)!! The improvements by our Team TAKII Registration Coalition don't stop there, as Cheryl "Aquamarine" Snyder (a TAKII fanatic since the beginning & a highly-talented freelance artist) has recently joined the Team & will now be in charge of ushering in BRAND NEW BADGE DESIGNS that will incorporate more of an "originally extreme" flavor The Asian Karaoke Idol Invitational is & has been known for. To take advantage of our lowest rates ($10.00 per Pass, $50.00 per Table Slot), please visit our "Registration" section ASAP! Our 1 & only pre-reg deadline ends May 19th, 2012. After that, #1 Contender's Passes will be available during TAKII 13 weekend at the price of $15.00 per Pass, while Vendor Table Slots will have been sold out.

Since the conclusion of TAKII 11, The Asian Karaoke Idol Invitational had also been working on a special endeavor affectionately named "TAKII: A Rotunda Beautification Project". "Born from the minds of & with the assistance of TAKII Co-Coordinators Rose "Yu-Gi-Oh!" Rappaport & Peter "Nero" Gerber, looked at way that The Rotunda could be modernized & better organized by way of varied initiatives. Thanks to everyone's combined efforts, our labor of love helped us to achieve our ultimate goal: taking over THE ENTIRE ROTUNDA for this very season!! Thanks to our recent venue expansion, we are able to utilize ALL of its space for an extended slate of programming, including (but not limited to) a vastly expanded "Dealer's Dominion" & "Community Centrale", more live performances, innovative "Festivities" of all flavors, & SO MUCH MORE!!" For us to have gotten to this point is nothing short of amazing & stands as a true testament to the aura of awesome that is the TAKII family ^_^.

No gathering of crazed otaku worth its name in Pocky would exist without major fan participation, something that The Asian Karaoke Idol Invitational has been an innovator of for the past 5+ years. And with a newly-renovated & recently expanded home venue in The Rotunda, we have even more potential to entertain more of you guys than ever before. As such, we warmly encourage you all to be guests/performers, or even panelists at TAKII 13 ~United We Stand~! With our "Guest & Performer Apps", "you take that 1st über-important step in becoming 1 of the many invitees that have graced "the house of hardcore Asian fandom" & help us in constructing 1 marvelous season after another." By way of our "X-Treme X-Posé Apps", "you get to produce your own festivity (at a season of The Asian Karaoke Idol Invitational) while creating many cherishable moments along the way for yourself & TAKII fanatics alike."
