If the May’n/Megumi Nakajima concert held earlier that day at Anime Expo 2010 was phenomenal because of its combination of awesome music, wonderful surprises, and an excellent performance by the pair, MELL’s concert was a grand spectacle. Because I had gotten in early enough, being able to see the crew setting up the instruments on the stage gave me the hope that MELL would be able to deliver not just a solid concert, but a memorable experience on top of it all.
Up until now, the concerts that I’ve attended at Anime Expo consisted of singers who perform with the benefit of a background track, so knowing that MELL would be backed by the full sound and fury that a live band can offer meant a more engaging and enthralling performance. This concert isn’t without its caveats though, and I’ll reveal those as I go along. More after the jump! (more…)
