Rhizomatiks' Daito Manabe will be participating as a programmer in the live performance of composer Yoko Kanno's project "piano me," which will be held on the 11th at the otaku event "Otakon" in Baltimore, USA.

No other information has been released about piano me other than a teaser video released in April on the official website of Kanno's label, "PIANO." The video shows a person who appears to be Kanno playing the theme song "TANK!" from the anime "Cowboy Bebop" on the piano, while a lighting display shaped like a piano vibrates in time with the sound. The video also includes messages such as "HELLO, CAN YOU PIANO ME? YOKO KANNO" and "I HOPE YOU CAN SEE IT SEE YOU IN THE SUMMER...!"
