This week we are coming to you from Los Angeles where we will be spending some time with YURAPICO and catching next weekend’s US debut of You’ll Melt More! My first order of business in LA was delivering a shipment of t-shirts and other goods to YURAPICO as Homicidols has, once again, teamed up to design her US tour merch. This time it is an original design from Kerriepico.
You can pick up one of the new t-shirts as early as this afternoon as YURAPICO is holding a free live as a warm up to next weekend’s appearance at Anime Expo.
For their part, You’ll Melt More! released their schedule for next weekend’s AX.
