WARNING - PURE SPECULATION. NO FACTS CONTAINED IN THIS POST.My girlfriend and I did some research today. The only anime or Japan-related event happening in Paris that we could find is the
Chibi Japan Expo which is 30 October - 1 November of this year. The regular Japan Expo, as you may know, is who hosted AKB48 earlier this year.
The Chibi Japan Expo does not have guests listed yet for this year, but apparently have some handshake guidelines posted on the site. (Per what my gf could muddle out with her rusty French
)
We're thinking that this could possibly be the event where h&A will be.
Again, this is just speculation based completely off of googling and random intarweb searching.
Honestly, November is verymuch not con season, so I'm wondering if they may do a small concert-only venue as opposed to being part of a established convention.
On an additional speculative side note, 2ch has been dragging around this supposed rumored European tour for h&A since KMKM came out. It includes Berlin, Budapest, and Paris, among others that I cannot remember. However, that press release only said "パリ", so I believe this is still something someone on 2ch pulled out of their ass.
</wild speculation>
On a personal note, I really hope that I have a steady job by then (and one that wouldn't mind me trotting off to Europe for a long weekend) because if h&A go to Paris, my girlfriend will most likely go as well even though she claims the only sentence she remembers in French is "J'ai mal à la tête" (I have a headache) because that is what French does to her.
