Special Announcement: Chihara Minori LIVE @ DaiCon 2009
So this is the big news people have been waiting for – the special guest for DaiCon 2009 is the one and only Chihara Minori! Official announcement is now up, head on over to the DaiCon site to watch a special intro video from Minorin.
Anyone who’s a regular reader of this blog will need no introduction to Minorin, one of the lights of my life and that special person I happen to share a birthday with. Those who don’t – she’s the voice of Nagato Yuki in the Suzumiya Haruhi series and Chiaki in the Minami-ke series, which should be just the info you need.
Since her official relaunch on Avex, Chihara has released 5 singles and 2 albums, with another single (Tomorrow’s Chance) on the way in June. In December 2008 she played Taiwan and also appeared as part of the SOS-dan with the rest of the Haruhi girls in Anime Expo in 2007, and this will be her first time setting foot on Malaysian soil. The appearance at DaiCon marks a busy spring/summer period for Minorin, with scheduled live performances at Ga-Rei and Druaga events in May, the single in June, her 2-day open air live SUMMER CAMP in early August and Animelo Summer Live 2009-RE:BRIDGE- later the same month.
OMFGMINORINBRAINLOSSOFBLOOD$#%$^&(!@@. Ok, that’s out of the way.
To be honest – there’s maybe a shortlist of 5 or 6 seiyuu who if they appeared, would actually convince me to fly all the way to Kuala Lumpur to behave like an absolute arsehole – and Minorin’s one of them. I’m a country bumpkin who hates bright city lights and prefers rabbiting around in my own little village after all :3
So do come along for the fantarding ride in July, the two-day Minorin package (11-12 July) involves an Q&A session on the Saturday and a live set on the Sunday. Anyone planning to attend and needs further info, do feel free to email me at the address on my About page, or get in touch with the DaiCon staff.

lol you’re the onli one bothering to promote her properly.. Sorry dat our brainz haz no more blood supply to think about anything properly.
MINOOORRRIIIINNN!!!!
I can’t blog properly either. I’m already going on overdrive.
Heh, see, I told you that she would come :3
So at least Sentinel011 and me will be attending the event. See you guys then!
I will be there as press for Lowyat.net
Look out for me wearing either the lowyat.net tee shirt or AnimeShrine sweater there
Looking forward to getting backstage as well :3
Kyaaa~ Good luck you people T^T
Protect Minorin from evil ^^
And here I was, being all excited that Nobuyuki Hiyama is coming near me, while you guys go off and get Minorin….
I saw her live on ax 07, she was awesome live (unlike the other two). My personal favorite minorin song continues being (to this day) “makenai” from the tenjo tenge anime (was that her first single?)
LOOKS LIKE MINORIN IN DAICON, CHARGIN’ MALAYSIA.I am quite jealous, but I guess I was lucky to see her in LA during that horrid AX year. Nevertheless, good job, Malaysia! ;o
Make sure you (and danie~) don’t mob Minorin in death. We need her back in one piece afterwards so she can continue singing ^^. Good job for you guys and I’m sure y’all enjoy seeing her IRL like Mei and I did.
I would trade Nobuyuki Hiyama for Minorin anyday. Really. And here I was hoping for someone else at AN…
This marks the second (?) trip this year for seiyuus to Malaysia after Ayaa. It’s getting popular, isn’t it or something
Oh crap, I am so tempted to cross the Causeway to attend this.
