Yatta!! Looks like we made it. xD

Dear Mr Panganiban,

We are pleased to inform you that your group NEWTONE is one of the top ten groups who have passed the pre-screening and will perform on the J-Pop Anime Singing Competition Grand Finale on July 25, 2009 at the Market! Market! Activity Center.

In this regard, we would like to get your confirmation as early as possible if your group will continue to the final level of the competition. Furthermore, we would like to remind you that expenses (i.e. transportation, meals, accommodation, costume, etc.) incurred shall be borne by the participating groups. Likewise, we would like to tell you that the prizes (Nihongo lessons from the Nihongo Center Foundation) are Manila-based.

Should your group decide to push through the next level of competition, we would like you to:

· Submit a short write-up about your group (50 to 100 words) and your group photo (you can email this to jicc-mnl@japanembassy.ph)

· List your equipment requirement for your performance (i.e. amplifiers, drum sets, etc.)

· Tell us the title of the Anime/J-Pop piece you will be performing for the competition

We would like to hear from you by June 4, 2009 regarding the points above. We would contact you through email or phone for updates on the J-Pop Anime Singing Competition. Should you have further questions, please call (02) 551-57-84 loc 2318.
