New album is concept album and a concert announced

Well, they said they were going to be rolling out the big news and so they did on Friday morning, Japan time.

First up, the new album to be released later in the year will be a concept album based around the key word winter. Following in the footsteps of easy listening and 30 Minutes Night Flight it will be all based around a single theme. Considering how great those two albums are I'm really looking forward to more news about this release being unveiled.

The second piece of news they announced this morning was a special concert being held in September in Gunma Prefecture's world heritage site, the Tomioka Silk Mill (homepage in English.) It will be the 17th Sekai Isan Gekijou (World Heritage Theatre) which is an event which, according to it's official website, brings together Japan's history and heritage with popular artists for one-off concerts.

The concert will be held on Respect the Aged Day, September 19th 2011. As long as the weather holds out, apparently.

Tickets for the concert will go on sale August 7th. Interestingly there will be tickets available on the day according to Maaya's official homepage announcement about it all.

Exciting!

Two days before will be Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, apparently (^^)

But it's a regular thing, they move it around the country to different places with different artists:

Yes, I'm hoping for one too!!
