Yoko Kanno in concert for the first time in 5 years

For the first time in over five years, legendary anime soundtrack composer Yoko Kanno (Cowboy Bebop, GITS: Stand Alone Complex) will be performing live in concert, the only snag for UK fans being that the gig is located in Seoul, South Korea on June 20th!

Kanno will be joined by Maaya Sakamoto (Vision of Escaflowne OP) and Origa (Stand Alone Complex OP) in this rare performance that has been arranged to co-incide with the debut of video game Ragnarok Online 2, which Kanno has scored. Her most recent anime soundtrack is Dark Than Black; a dark sci-fi series from the director of Wolf’s Rain which is currently airing on Japanese TV.
