The Crunchyroll Concert Series is about to light up San Diego Comic-Con with global J-pop sensation LiSA, who will take the stage on Friday, July 26, marking the first time for the artist to perform in the U.S. in nearly 10 years.Coming in just ahead of the August 17 launch of LiSA’s concert film, LiVE is SMiLE ALWAYS -LANDER-, the concert will be held at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park and will be free to all San Diego Comic-Con badge holders on a first-come, first-served basis subject to capacity.
LiSA brings an incredible energy to the booth and the stage, and anime fans will know her for numerous hit theme songs, including “Gurenge” from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, “Crossing Field” from Sword Art Online and “homura” from Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train.Here’s what LiSA had to say about the event:
“I am so thrilled to be performing at San Diego Comic-Con 2024 as part of the Crunchyroll Concert Series at The Rady Shell! It has been nearly 10 years since my last performance in the United States, and I am so excited to share my music with my fans in what should be a fun, unforgettable night! And, for my fans across North America, celebrate with me at my upcoming concert film coming to theaters near you on August 17. Let’s have fun together.”
Experimental musician and performance artist Alice Longyu Gao will open the evening with a set that takes inspiration from her deep connection to Ai Yazawa’s classic NANA manga and its anime adaptation. Alice Longyu Gao commented on the occasion:
“Living in my fantasy is the foundation that nurtures my art. Crunchyroll carries anime creator and anime lover’s fantasy, I want to experience how their fantasy changes their life.”
Doors will open at 5:00pm on July 26, and fans are invited to lineup at anytime prior to that. Just look for Crunchyroll team members and signage to find your way to the general admission line, and hopefully we’ll see you there!
