AniSama Live launched their 2008 website today; the theme for this year is Challenge. It will be held at the Saitama Super Arena and it will be held over two days–Saturday August 30th and Sunday, August 31st. So far the announced performers are:

[8/30] ALI PROJECT, GRANRODEO, Kuribayashi Minami, Chihara Minori, and Mizuki Nana
[8/31] Ishikawa Chiaki, JAM Project, Domestic Loveband (angela), Hirano Aya, and Moimoi Haruko.
Advanced lottery registration begins 4/14 and ends 4/28. Tickets are ￥7,500 per day. Regular sale date starts 6/21.

It seems that there will be some coverage to come on the Nico Channel as well, as expected of dwango. More info can be found on the website.

This date doesn’t happen everyday. So hmm, what’s so special about today?

In Japan:

- It was Tanabata. I have to go sometime in the near future…

- The Animelo 2007 Generation-A concert happened. See seiyuu3 for current details and those soon to come. Also, Minorin blogged about it, as well (with images).

- Suzumiya Haruhi’s 2nd Season is announced officially.

Elsewhere:

- International Nana Day was held across the globe. There may have been one in my area, too, but I don’t know for certain. (If you don’t get it, nana = 7)

- Various Live Earth concerts were held ’round the world.

On a different note, I’m debating whether or not I should import the Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekisou Concert DVD (not sure if I’ll even get the photobook that is supposed to come with it). Any if you haven’t seen the trailer for this yet, take a look for yourself (or click here for better quality video):
