Once again, VisualArt’s/Key will have a booth at the upcoming Comiket 93 on 29-31st December, what better way is there to end your year other than by getting your hands on some of the limited merchandise! VisualArt’s are still releasing images of some of the art, particularly the Summer Pockets illustrations, so check back here later as we update the article to include them!
They’ve announced a series of new albums with the first one being ‘Humans pleasure’, a Key Acoustic Arrange Album, followed by Satsubatsu Kids’ Hikikomori Songs which we wrote about earlier, Ayaka Kitazawa’s 2nd album ‘Emotional Blue’, and finally Rita x Key’s Memorial Best album, ‘streak of light’.
There will be a panel by the Key staff Shinji Orito and Kai (composer and writer respectively for Summer Pockets) on 30th December from 13:30-14:00, followed by a mini-live with Rita from 15:00-16:00. Another mini-live will be taking place starring Ayaka Kitazawa and Satsubatsu Kids’ Hyon on the 31st December from 12:00-13:00. Numbered tickets for the events will be distibuted at 10:00 on the same day of the event (30th for the panel and Rita, 31st for Kitazawa and Hyon) in front of the booth. In order to qualify for these event tickets, you’ll have to purchase some Comiket merchandise before the day of the event.
