Look forward to beautiful moments and two unforgettable concerts on Friday at 16:50 and Saturday at 11:50 in the grand ballroom. We are immensely grateful that she accepted our invitation, and we are excited to welcome an honorary guest who represents the Shakugan no Shana anime. A heartfelt wish comes true with her presence.
