Thank you, NOIZ! If you weren't at Animazement 12, you missed our first J-Rock concert! Uchuu Sentai NOIZ rocked the Raleigh Convention Center with a sound and style that was out of this world!

We hope you had as much fun as we did having NOIZ as our guests! We wish them all the best with their major label debut and their Japan Tour!
