I figured, it would be too hard to do them with enough time to keep up with customers otherwise. Still…
I actually enjoyed watching this video and it seems like there are so many great things to look forward to as well. KSL Live World 2016 probably would have been interesting to go to but hearing it from you guys is so cool. I was impressed with the amazing merchandise they were selling, especially the drawing of Shizuru by Itaru Hinoue. It does seem that they are going at a pace where they need to take time to make sure things go smoothly and I like to thank them for all their hard work and efforts trying to make the best of their visual novels.

You guys seem like such a closely knit group of friends. The fact that you guys made friends with such a diverse demographic baffles me. It’s wonderful being a Key fan

Honestly though, I think that’s a testament to Key fans in general. A lot of the people we met up with at KSL are either not active on the forum, or not a member of Kazamatsuri at all! Yet we were able to instantly connect over our mutual love of Key. There’s something really unique about that experience.

Man I really wish if I was with you guys there lol
maybe sometime in the future
This episode doesn’t seem to be on the podcast XML feed yet; latest episode there is the Clannad Book Club from March.
Yeah we’ve noticed that error. We’re currently trying to figure it out at the moment ^^; sorry about that!
I was at the ACen panel and my question in the Q&A was if they’d ever consider doing a KSL Live World in North America. I figured at best I’d get a “we’ll think about it”, but the answer was that they were actually already working on it. That got a few cheers and gasps, IIRC (although nothing like later when they acknowledged they were already working on Angel Beats 1st Beat in English)

That actually made me really happy to hear, yeah. Makes me wonder if it’ll be a full-fledged concert or just some special panel at a con. Take for example Kitazawa Ayaka, who performed a few songs last year in Singapores Chara Expo
Speaking of meeting at KSL. I’m curious if we as a community will meet up at Anime expo at LA this summer.
I would love to have a chance and talk to you guys in the flesh.

There was a small quick meet up last year but its was a few handful. I met clannad man I don’t think I got to me any else though.
When the time comes closer then we can probably create a plan to have a more scheduled meet-up haha
The issue with meetups is that, there’s very few conventions which lots of people here can meet up at. That’s the problem with such a widespread international community.
If you can manage to find enough people interested, then by all means, organise a meetup!

Refer to the Kazamatsuri World Map
https://forum.kazamatsuri.org/t/kazamatsuri-world-map/1067
Currently, London is the most likely place to have a successful convention for Kazamatsuri members. Though there are definitely a few people located at LA and SF, but it depends how far people would be willing to travel for it.
EDIT: Oh and for those curious, the extended cut of our Karaoke session can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=my5Lsk8wTfI
EDIT 2: @invalidname We contacted Baba for comment on bringing KSL Live to the west, and his response was basically, “We’d like to it, but there are many issues we need to overcome first, so nothing has been decided yet.”
I don’t know if anyone else saw this but ANN posted their own interview with key.

Ooh what? A new unannounced title in the works? Could he be referring to 2nd Beat or something new?
I don’t think it’s the 2nd beat, noting that earlier, he was asked about the 2nd and 3rd beats and said that they would have to ask Jun Maeda, since Baba has no information about it.
I can’t wait for this 
Though not sure if it’s a VN or anime, I’m still excited.
I wonder who’s doing the overall storyline. Considering Maeda is working on the 2nd beat, Kai was just done with Harmonia and whatnot, I’m guessing that this may be a Tonokawa story.
Hopefully it’s announced soon.
