ena mori first announced her fundraising effort last January, writing that “It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be invited to the conference. However, since there is a lot of great exposure, most of the expenses have to be covered by artists. With the effect of [the] pandemic and the gas shortage, the cost of travel has increased more than ever before, and that is why we would like to humbly ask for your help and support in making this a reality!”

Since then, Eraserheads frontman Ely Buendia has opened an auction for the shirt he wore during the Eraserheads’ reunion last December. The starting bid is set at P50,000.

ena mori topped NME’s best Asian albums of 2022 with her debut record, ‘DON’T BLAME THE WILD ONE!’. Khyne Palumar wrote, “With its big feelings, avant-garde vocal stylings and an eclectic soundscape spiked with rip-roaring dancey rhythms, ena mori’s debut LP ‘Don’t Blame The Wild One!’ is nothing short of exhilarating.”
