Wootz!

Awesome, awesome, AWESOME performance! It was the best ever blast into the West Coast cons like...EVER.
Dude.
Thank you so, so very much for everything and the always amazing concert. ^_______________________ ^
Everyone there was having so much fun and loving how you were having fun performing and seeing us have fun and it was like a BIG HUGE pile of everybody having massive piles of fun.

Yay!

Geat program, crowd, huge scary screeny things, all of it. I can't wait to see some new awesone west coast forumees. ^______^

And really, thank you again for everything, it was all so great, and I can't wait to catch another concert soon <3.

You were in Washington at the time ShikamaCHU?  How fortunate of you.
Well, in a week I'll get to be at a performance myself.
The lines of people that form after a concert to see Piano Squall... that sticks in my memory.  That's a sign of a job well done.  And I see he's continuing the tradition with his first ever west coast 'con (I think this was his first) .

Another SakuraCon attendee here :)

Just wanted to say that the performance was excellent - and I'm not just talking the music. Watching Piano Squall on stage was entertainment all on its own - it was awesome how he'd react to our feedback. It was so cute :D

Anyway, props to you - and here's hoping we get to see you next year at the 10yr anniversary of the Con!

I was a bit bummed because I was SO BORED at my con this weekend. However, I'm very pleased to hear Sakuracon went well and I look forward to meeting all the lucky devils that were graced with a performance this weekend. ^_^

Dear Sakura-con Attendees,
 
Thank you for attending my concert at Sakura-con.  Your overwhelming enthusiasm made this weekend a truly memorable experience.  It was an honor to perform for you, and I hope to have the privilege again at a future convention!
 
Please visit the Downloads section, where you can find live concert video footage and recordings in MP3 format.  I have also taken the time to write down my original arrangements for you, and a MIDI is included with the sheet music for each piece.  I continue to update the site with new footage, new recordings, and new arrangements as they become available.  There is never any charge, please feel free to download and enjoy as much as you like.
 
And finally, a very special welcome the newest members of our forum family joining us from Sakura-con!  We are proud to have one of the most tight-knit, friendly communities on the internet.  By organizing large forum get-togethers at every convention, we have turned an online message board into a family of friends united by a common love of game and anime music.  Let me be the first to welcome the otaku of Sakura-con, and to our veteran members, please show them the strength of our Piano Squall forum love!  ^_^

Michael, your performance was amazing! It was definetly one of my highlights! (Maybe you could perform at SakuraCon 07? :biggrin:) You captivated the audience, and I love how the videos seemed to coordinate with the music.

Also, thank you for being so kind as to let me get a picture taken with you! If you would like to see it, here it is: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/Yasuda/sc06perform.jpg
It didn't come out the way I could have liked it to as far as the lighting goes, (to be completely honest, the lighting made me look awful, but that's alright :lol:) but in the future there might possibly be an opportunity to take another one.. if that's alright with you. :D

Thanks again; I wish you success in your future performances!

Sorry to hear that - especially for Venus who had no Piano Squall concert.  Hope your next 'cons are much better.

And thanks for joining us miseryratne, miss-megu, and OtakuLargo.  As Ameria-chan said above, "Please introduce yourself in the Intro subforum so we can all greet you properly! ...And that means prepare for glomping. ^_~!"

It wasn't horrible.  I just need a different crowd, and there was some scheduling errors that annoyed me.  However, this is not the forum for complaining, this is the forum for PRAISING.  My friends enjoyed you greatly my dear.  I would love to see you at AX.

Welcome, miss-megu!

(I like the lighting in your photo! Sure, it's not one for the scrapbook, but it's one for the artbook! It looks very dramatic. Backlit photos sometimes come out very interestingly cool, even though they're not what you're expecting! ^_^)
