June 6, 2013 - Japanese all-girl rock band exist†trace performed songs from their new single "DIAMOND" during the live concert last weekend at A-Kon 2013 in Dallas, Texas. Fans at the anime convention at the Hilton Anatole hotel became the first in America to hear the new tracks which go on sale July 3in Japan as a Tower Records exclusive.
exist†trace led off the 12-song set with the single's title track, featuring the the band's new dual-vocal structure of lead singer Jyou and guitarist/vocalist miko. In addition to the new songs, exist†trace performed longtime fan favorites "Judea," "KNIFE," and "liquid," as well as the hits 'TRUE" and "DAYBREAK" from their major-label debut CD VIRGIN.
The visit to Dallas represented a homecoming for miko, who spent 2 years of her childhood in the Texas city. She delivered a heartfelt speech in English to the crowd of 1500 who'd assembled from all over the United States to see the live show. Having received invitations from 3 anime conventions in 3 years, the band has built a dedicated fan base in America, and the members spent over several hours during the weekend signing autographs and addressing a capacity crowd Q&A session during the May 31- June 2 event.
