TOMORROW 1PM @MYSPACE PAGE. I CANT WAIT SERIOUSLY.
What will be the surprise? I guess we’ll all have to wait and find out!

Great news for South American fans of Eizo Sakamoto, he has announced via his Official MySpace blog that he will be returning to Argentina next month!
Eizo had previously performed in Argentina back in August of 2008 and states that it has become one of his favorite places to visit. That must be a pretty exciting title to hold for Argentinian fans! Here’s the full announcement he made on his blog:
Today I announce you that I will come to Argentina in April
to have great shows and meet Argentine fans!!Last year I had two shows in South America canceled
because of my agenda and visa problems.
So this time it make me very happy!!Since I performed in Argentina in August 2008,
it’s one of my favorite countries.I will sing with a good friend band of mine “Gaijin Sentai”.
One thing that I worry about is 7.5hour layover in Canada.
I think it’s not a big problem because once I had free 5 hours
in airport, I enjoyed being there. Maybe this time as well.I will let you know detail information later.
See you in Argentina!!Eizo Sakamoto
It’s great to see South America getting more love from Japanese artists lately, hopefully this is a sign of more good things to come! We’ll be sure to keep everyone updated once more details have been revealed.
