FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The Asian Karaoke Idol Invitational (TAKII) 5 ~Shin Seiki (Neon Genesis)~ ANNOUNCED: Expanding to 2-DAYS!!!! Sho (fire), hi (soul), ai (love). These 3 ANGELic aspects symbolize some of the most important aspects of the spring season. However, there is one unNERVing hardcore element absent from the mix.

And in a burst of emotion akin to Shinji Ikari crying a SOULful REFRAIN, TAKII faithful shouted their boundless approval of the news, bringing emotions to a fusion festival fever pitch.
