Idol Shoko Nakagawa, nicknamed Shokotan, has been announced as one of the guests of honor for the American convention Anime Expo 2008, which will take place in Los Angeles on July 3 - 6. The exact date of her performance is currently unknown.

Shoko Nagakawa made her singing debut in 2006 and her single, Sorairo Days, released in June 2007, was chosen as the theme song to the popular TV anime "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann". Her first ever rock song, it debuted at #3 on Japan’s Oricon weekly single chart. Thanks to the ever-increasing popularity of fan events held all over the country, Shoko had her first concert in Tokyo in December of 2007.
