| Above and below: AnimExpo fans this year gave thunderous applause to a very fine piano
performance coupled with video images of relevant anime works held by Yoko Kanno, no doubt
followed by a large increase in sales of anime where Kanno's orchestral works are found
in, such as Cowboy BeBop, Memories, BrainPowerd, Macross Plus, and Escaflowne. |

her piano performance. |
Later that night, the AnimExpo Masquerade starts off with the
largest attendance of the decade: over 1500! For photos of the Masqueraders, please

| Over 50 cosplayers, both US and Japan, participated in the
Masquerade with hilarious skits and outrageous costumes, surely setting the stage once
again for another round of spectacular costume shows next year! For photos of the
Masqueraders, please visit our LLNN Masquerade
sections. |
Also held that night was the Voice Acting Performance hosted by
Akira Kamiya and his Voice Acting Troupe of students, showing what it takes to be a vocal
talent in the industry. |

| Above and below: Akira Kamiya heartily applauds his students' efforts to voice in sync
with anime on the big screen. Kamiya even joined in to show his masterful skills to
the audience, an experience only appreciated had you been there! |
