Anime Expo - King Records / Starchild Panel

By Jason Yeh     July 04, 2005

The King Records / Starchild representative spent almost the entire panel showing trailers of their anime related works. They first ran a reel that highlighted the past 10 years of works, which included the following:

• Evangelion
  
• Nadesico
  
• Fruits Basket
  
• Azumanga Daioh
  
• Stellvia
  
• Da Capo
  
• Bottle Faeries
  
• Jubei-chan 2
  
• Doki Doki School Hours
  
• Fafner
  
• Futakoi
  
• BECK
  
• School Rumble
  
• JINKI EXTEND
  
• Mahoraba
  

After this long video, they showed a FLCL trailer to promote the upcoming OST 3. They also showed a clip from the soon to be released angela live in Shubuya R2 dvd, in which she was performing the Fafner OP (Shangri-La). Lastly, they ran a trailer for Pani Poni Dash!, an anime that just started airing in Japan on 7/3.

I asked about the possibility of angela's upcoming 'You get the burning' cover single being included on an upcoming album. One of the King Records / Starchild reps replied that she is also coming out with a new Fafner image song / single before the Nadesico cover single, and then a new album sometime after that. In the end, I don't think he really answered my question. I also asked them to consider licensing PV / music video dvds to the US market. The same rep replied that I should ask US companies to bring them over.
