Anime Weekend Atlanta 5 - Mari Iijima Concert |
When Mari Iijima
asked the AWA audience if they wanted to hear her sing another song on
Friday night, the crowd cheered their approval. And twice, when Iijima
thought she had finished selling her No Limit CD and signing autographs
after her AWA concert, more fans walked up and wanted to meet the singer.
It was that kind of crowd on the convention's first night, a group of people who sat in rapt silence as Iijima performed (they were so quiet that you could hear noises from the hall outside the ballroom used for the concert). This concert differed from the other anime convention performances Iijima
has given. It truly was a solo performance in a couple of ways. Iijima
accompanied herself on the keyboard for all but one song (following the
positive response she got to her CN Anime concert), using pre-recorded
tracks only for that one song. And Iijima was on her own, leaving her twin
sons at home for the first time this season.
