[EOY'09] Yui Makino confirmed as Guest!

 

Last year, we bid farewell to Shiro Tsubasa Anime Club, who have been hosting the End of Year Cosplay Event (more affectionately known as EOY) for many years. And earlier this year, local Japanese fashion retailer Black Alice announced their intention to continue the EOY tradition, now choosing to hold it at National Library on the 26th of December

Facing growing competition from newer events over the years like AFA and Cosfest, the new organisers of EOY have upped the ante, inviting Japanese Artiste Yui Makino to the event for special appearance and performance. Yui Makino is best know for her voice work on Tsubasa Chronicles as Sakura, but she’s an accomplished pianist and singer as well, having performed theme songs for shows such as Aria, Sora O Kakeru Shoujo and Welcome to the NHK. Tickets for her performance at EOY are now available through Gatecrash.
