Superstar OLIVIA headlines PMX with American debut


LOS ANGELES - Singer/songwriter sensation OLIVIA Lufkin will perform at 
Pacific Media Expo (PMX) one day only: Oct. 28, 2006.



"We are honored to be her American debut," said Mike Tatsugawa, PMX Event 
Chair. "Her music has a long following on both sides of the Pacific.  Her 
goth style reaches out to our big fashion fans.  Her songs for the Nana 
anime are huge hits among the anime fans in the US. OLIVIA is one of those 
rare performers who resonates with everyone."



Born to a Japanese mother and an American father, OLIVIA was discovered 
while attending the celebrated Okinawa Actors' School. Legend Komuro Tetsuya 
(TK), frequent collaborator of Amuro Namie, Globe, TRF and hitomi, produced 
her critically acclaimed 1999 solo debut. In 2004, Avex released an overseas 
version of sophomore full album The Lost Lolli as recognition for her 
growing popularity.



After enjoying a musical hiatus, during which OLIVIA gained respect as a 
fashion model and designer, she was chosen by popular Nana manga author Ai 
Yazawa to provide the singing voice of character Reira Serizawa on the 
television program. She has since performed three songs for the opening and 
final credits. The first single, "A Little Pain," ranked at #8 on the Oricon 
charts and sold 20,162 copies in the first week. Offscreen, Nana has sold an 
astounding 22 million copies of its first 12 volumes.



OLIVIA appears courtesy of Avex as part of the Pacific Music Live concert 
series. Other performers featured are UchuSentai NOIZ, MECHANiCAL PANDA, Dig 
Jelly and Random Ninjas. PMX will also welcome Avatar: The Last Airbender 
creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino, as well as Kamikaze Girls 
creator and Lolita fashion icon Novala Takemoto.



Pre-registration is available online and includes a group discount of 20 
percent for at least five attendees. Concert tickets will be on sale 
beginning Oct. 7, 2006. For the convenience of our attendees, we accept all 
forms of payment and have extended reduced membership costs to complement 
performance ticket releases.
