Sing a Bit of Harmony Movie Outing

Location: Event Cinemas Innaloo
Date: January 28th
Time: 7:00PM

POWA is off to the movies to see a new original comedy-drama from studio J.C. Staff – ‘Sing a Bit of Harmony’.

Our friends at Madman are offering 4 free double passes to POWA members, meaning that essentially 8 people will be seeing the movie for free. The passes will be strictly first-come, first-serve.
The movie starts at 7:00pm at Event Cinemas Innaloo, but as we cannot book ahead, we cannot guarantee seats in the cinema. Ensure that you arrive early enough to purchase your tickets at the counter so you don’t end up disappointed. This will be a screening in the original Japanese subtitled version.

Movie Synopsis:
“Sing a Bit of Harmony tells the story of the beautiful and mysterious Shion who transfers to Keibu High School where she quickly becomes popular for her open-hearted personality and exceptional athletic talent… but she turns out to be an AI (artificial intelligence) in the testing phase! Shion’s goal is to bring chronic loner Satomi “happiness.” But her strategy is something no human would expect: she serenades Satomi in the middle of the classroom. After finding out that Shion is an AI, Satomi and her childhood friend, engineering geek Toma, steadily warm up to the new student. Along with the popular and attractive Gotchan, the strong-willed Aya, and judo club member “Thunder”, they become more and more moved by Shion’s singing voice and earnestness even as her antics bewilder them. But what Shion does for Satomi’s sake ends up involving them all in some serious pandemonium… Get ready for the heartwarming story of a not quite market-ready AI and her classmates!”

POWA Screening, 23rd January 2022

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

POWA’s regular weekly screenings continue!

Last week, we rushed to vote in TWO new shows. What we ended up with is the second season of ‘Ascendance of a Bookworm’ – a POWA favourite isekai from last year in our Fantasy slot, and ‘Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song’ – an epic tale of an AI trying to prevent a tragic future into our Mature slot. These two fantastic new shows were backed up by club members also deciding to continue watching both ‘WorldEnd’ and ‘Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor’. This is a hell of a line-up!

One important thing to note is that with current COVID laws constantly in flux in the Perth area (plus the upcoming border opening), POWA will have to abide by whatever rules appear. Currently, we are under an indoor mask mandate for instance. Please pay attention to both the news, and our announcements to keep up to date with the form our meetings will take. And most importantly – stay safe!

Entry for our weekly screenings is $4 for members and $5 for guests. However, your first time is free! Every entry prior to our break receives a raffle ticket for a weekly prize. We will be in the upstairs meeting room, of Joondalup Library. Our doors will open at the same time as the library – 1:00PM and we will start screening at 1:30PM, leaving you time to find the room and settle down with some drinks and snacks.

1:00PM – Library Doors Open
1:30PM – Fruits Basket (2019) – Episode 24 (Slice of Life/Romance/Arthouse)
