This was actually announced back in June, but hopefully I will be forgiven… I stopped by the PMX website a couple of days ago and discovered that the convention will be returning to the LAX Hilton on Veterans Day weekend. This will be the second time that the convention will be held during this holiday weekend. Also posted on their front page is the brief announcement on their first musical group, the Visual Kei Band Suicide Ali. This Gothic and eccentric group started in 2005 with two their core members Goshi on vocals and Hiroshi on guitar, followed by their other three members Hisashi, Yuu, and Mst a year later. You can check out their MySpace Page here.
Registratation is expected to begin later this month, but the convention is also holding a monthly contest on their site. The current contest (set to end August 10th) is a sketch of Irene from the series Claymore. It was drawn and autographed by last year’s GOH Takahiro Umehara.
