They always have a great list of musical guests. I'm so jealous. Especially with Sphere there..

Please for the love of God let there be signing/meet and greet sessions (that don't force you to fork out hundreds of dollars in cash/enter a lucky draw). But knowing Singapore, that will probably never happen... In that respect, I envy US cons.

Also, I'm kind of surprised that they are inviting Danny Choo again.

I thought that (from Choo's site) their next one will be held in Jakarta. Oh well -- guess it was just a 'teaser' thing.

This concert line-up is awesome! Waiting for them to announce how they will divide them up for the 2 or 3 concerts.

A free signing session (or maybe if you purchase the artist's album there) would be awesome! All VIP concert goers (tickets are about 110 USD) enter a lucky draw for a signing session with a random artist. The odds of getting one is quite high.

Danny Choo is one of the producers/organisers of AFA. Honestly, he's a good, fluent host and I think he helps negotiate the deals with some of the anime industry people he works with.

There are 3 AFA events this year. Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore.

One time Shoko Nakagawa was invited, and the first hundred or so who bought her album there got to meet her and have their CDs signed.

As for the other people (like Danny Choo, KANAME☆) they used to roam around the con venue and you can have a photo op. I even met Ichiro Mizuki (Aniki). Don't know if they do that anymore.
