SeraSymphony - 16 November 2013

In November, we participated in iconiQ The Soundtrack Orchestra's tribute SeraSymphony: The 20th Anniversary Orchestral Fan Tribute to Takanori Arisawa's Sailormoon soundtrack. A 22-piece orchestra performs and medley of cues from the 1993 groundbreaking Japanese animation series in a 5-movement dedication. Each week - starting on December 20 - we released a new movement in anticipation of the new Sailormoon series to be simulcast in January. The response has been great so far -- thousands have viewed our clips and encourage use every week. Perhaps there should be a live concert in the future? Check-out a preview:
