Virtual Songstress IA to Premiere at NY Comic Con 2014

NEW YORK, NY (Sept 15th, 2014) – With Hatsume Miku opening for Lady Gaga's North American tour and the 3D hologram resurrection of Michael Jackson for the Billboard Music Awards, the world seems to have more than enough space for IA – one of Japan's latest virtual divas. IA (pronounced “ee-ah”) will make her US debut at this year's NY Comic Con in the live concert movie screening to be held on October 9th at Javits Center/Room #1A05 from 5:15pm. It is from a Tokyo concert held earlier this year featuring IA and her live band that has never before been seen by an American audience. The concert movie highlights IA's sensational duet with megahit songstress, LIA, already known by US fans from her work “Tori no Uta” from the anime Air and “My Soul Your Beats” from hit anime Angel Beats!. It also features live performance with JIN, one of the most talented young musicians/producers and novelists behind the blockbuster multi-media installment known as “Kagerou Project”, which is later adapted to “Mekakucity Actors” for its worldwide anime release.
