Flying Dog definitely knows how to promote their stuff and they’re doing that big time with the upcoming Arpeggio of Blue Steel live concert. The production company behind the show has let loose with the third promo for it that highlights more of the songs with bits from the show and some animated virtual performance material. The Japanese event taking place on December 1st at Zepp Tokyo where they’ll be doing a live performance for it with many of the actresses/singers there to help promote the show. Zepp Tokyo, one of many small concert halls across the country, has a 2000+ capacity to it and I wouldn’t be surprised to see this kind of performance find its own way to a DVD or Blu-ray in the future.
Known as Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio in Japan, the series is based on the manga by Ark Performance, which has seven volumes on hand so far in Japan, the new show is being directed by Seiji Kishi based on scripts by Makoto Uezu.
