Lantis: New Generation Live 2020 Concert Review
January 27th, 2021 Chocola Before the Concert
Due to the current pandemic, many live concerts are streamed online. I really missed attending concerts and looked forward to this opportunity! For some of our readers, Lantis may be a familiar name. The company hosted Lantis Matsuri in AnimeNYC, as well as this concert, which featured up and coming artists, as well as some familiar names.
This concert took place on November 26th, but due to the time difference, Japan was above twelve hours ahead. I woke up a little early to see the concert due to the difference in JST time versus time in the states. But I really looked forward to this concert and the opportunity. Once I had my espresso, I was good to go!
