Finally

At Nodo Jiman, there is also a stage performance by the guest singers after the contestants sing. When guest Yoko Takahashi appeared at Nodo Jiman in Itoigawa, Niigata last June, she apparently performed “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis,” so there might be a chance we’ll get to hear it this time too…?😆 If you’re confident in your singing, why not try entering? Audience admission is free too, so anyone interested might want to apply.
