As reported yesterday, 54-year-old anime voice actress Megumi Ogata (Shinji Ikari in Evangelion) decided to hold a no-audience live concert titled "Hang In There, Dears!" on June 6, 2020, instead of her scheduled birthday live. She launched a crowdfunding campaign to collect funds to stream it on YouTube worldwide for free at 19:00 on April 30 (JST), then its goal of 7,000,000 yen (about 65,750 US dollars) was immediately achieved only in 46 minutes.
As of this writing, the campaign has collected 8,916,677 yen from 635 sponsors. The campaign is scheduled to be continued until May 25, and additional money she receives will be used to make up the expenses for her previous event "M’s BAR" and live-streaming program, as well as to support her future activities.
The anime songs to be performed in her concert will include "A Cruel Angel's Thesis" (Neon Genesis Evangelion), "Unbalance na kiss wo shite" (Yu Yu Hakusho), "moon revenge" (Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon), "Bye Bye Yesterday" (Assassination Classroom), and "Saisei -rebuild-" (Danganronpa).
