Four of Japan’s top anisong stars made their way to the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Jul. 6 to bring anime music to eager US fans at "Japan Super Live", the second night of Anime Expo's Anisong World Matsuri!
The evening got off to an energetic start with a set from May’n backed by a full rock band and a troupe of dancers. As well as performing six anisong hits (“Chase the world”, “One In A Billion -May’n Ver.-”, “You”, “Belief”, “Northern Cross” and “Diamond Crevasse”), May’n also entertained the audience with English language banter between songs.
