Sigh, unfortunately for me, I was there a week earlier, and didn’t know about this event till like a week prior to my departure to Japan. Apart from the opportunity of meeting the voice actors, the event also boasted Lucky Star merchandise solely available there. Damn it!

Released just recently on DVD, this is a fan conference cum live concert featuring seiyuus from the aforementioned show that took place in March. The entire was around 4 hours long; the first half was a discussion panel with the director, character designer and the main cast and a short skit featuring the SOS Brigade while the second half featured live songs performed by the seiyuus.
