Filipina actress Liza Soberano was among the global presenters at the esteemed 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards held in Tokyo, Japan last Saturday, March 2.
Liza, who stunned in an bright orange bodycon dress, presented the winner of the Best Anime Song category which was bagged by YOASOBI, the duo who sang "Idol" for anime series "Oshi no Ko".
"What truly excites me about anime is the incredible music. When you see that opening sequence, you hear that amazing theme song, and in an instant, you are totally immersed in the world then as the end credits roll, music has the power to release a flood of emotions from what you just experienced. Then you can go with the rest of your day, safe in the knowledge that the hero triumphed over the dragon or that your favorite couple fell in love. Music and anime plays a pivotal role," she remarked before the nominees for the category were presented.
The "Lisa Frankenster" star expressed her gratitude to Crunchyroll for inviting her.
"Congratulations to all of the winners of the @animeawards.official 2024 and thank you so much to @crunchyroll for having me! Can’t wait to be back in Japan 🇯🇵," she captioned in an Instagram post on Sunday, March 3.
