AAA - Anime
Convention Personalities of the Week - August 19, 2007
Music for Kamen Rider and
Initial D shows has drawn attention to “Attack All Around,” AAA for
short. They're a new rock and dance group who have released a couple of
Japanese albums and traveled to Otakon in 2007. “There were so many
people and so much passion in the audience,” said Shuta Sueyoshi about
the Baltimore performance. “Even though we'd never met, they gave us so
much energy that they helped us do this.” Parts of AAA's concerts are
as much a dance show as a rock concert, as the band tosses some
acrobatic moves into the show. “We also want people to know we don't
shy away from challenges,” Misako Uno said. “We have these acrobatic
moves in our concerts. We weren't good at it at first, but we kept
practicing and got better.” While the Otakon concert was AAA's first
show in the U.S., the band planned to return to American soil in August
for a concert in Hawaii, intended mostly for Japanese fans. The band
makes music for the love of it, and the language barrier isn't an
artistic barrier for this group. “We feel that AAA is like a theme
park,” said Hiro. “You can enjoy it even if you can't understand the
words – you can dance to it.” While the band members enjoy eating udon,
pizza, beef, donuts and rice and egg, they did have some of the
Baltimore area's signature crab cakes during their Otakon trip.
