And this performance was an encore, she was "running low on gas" after all the concert, think about it, she was stellar with depleted stamina, if they used "Idol" for the opening song how much better could she have sung it?

日本のファンです。リアクションありがとうございます！！ 彼らの歌詞がなぜ「推しの子」に繋がっているかというと、YOASOBIは「小説を音楽にするユニット」だからです。全ての楽曲に原作小説があります。彼らはまだデビューして3年弱ですが日々努力しています。ikuraちゃんの歌唱力は努力あってのものです。 このLIVEツアーも公演を追うごとに進化していき、この映像のような仕上がりになったのです。他のLIVEも沢山観てきましたが、YOASOBIは気持ちの良いLIVEを実現しています。

Idol ranked #7 in the US Billboard Global 200 Chart. Its a big win for anime fans and Japan’s music industry as a whole as its the highest ranking a Japanese artist achieved in the chart’s history

Although basically all tickets are sold out atm, ADO is doing a world tour across America and Europe amongst other places. perhaps you can manage to find a wild ticket for your location

YOASOBI deserved everything that they had for this song, their talents will not go to waste, it's amazing how it went so well in terms of audience and I can't be more happier then their success.

[@marar8045]

This song, for obvious reasons, follows a lot of things from idol culture. It’s normal to include the audience in an idol performance. The songs are often made thinking of fanchants and they tend to have call and response sections. It’s part of the allure of idol culture.

[@GOTGames]

Ah I didn't know that was something they take into consideration in the creation of the song! 🤯

[@ShadowMonarchX555]

The crowd screaming 'Hai' is actually the part of the song. It's iconic. The song in itself is a wonder of the music world.

[@delusion7511]

The thing that makes it even more better is that, in the anime opening at this part aqua is shown as standing while the crowd cheers him on while in this Ikura is standing and the crowd is cheering her on its so cool

[@GOTGames]

Really is 🔥🔥

[@chooo35]

Hi from JAPAN ! Even in old concerts in Japan, the audience shouted and sang without permission, but the audience stopped shouting because they wanted to hear the singer's voice. Smartphones are also generally prohibited because they are in the way. Group action is Japanese culture.

My first time seeing live concert of Yoasobi is in my country Indonesia, they're sing opening from Gundam WFM

[@angeldavidpinango4914]

The Japanese have an incredible way of surprising with the lyrics of their songs and the contradictory with their music. songs like kagero days (wagaki band cover) and headphene actor by LiSA & Jin, are a great example...

[@Fennec_3D]

The crowd participation is just phenomenal

[@truppenterror2836]

I think I've already watched the video twenty times today. I can't get enough of it :D I love how energetic the band is. You can see that the guys and girls are really having fun! And with an audience like that, you can only have fun. In general, I just love the fact that hardly anyone is standing there with their smartphone all the time. Everyone is going crazy and partying. It's like they're literally part of the show!

[@japaniamanga3191]

That live performance is so good! I wondered how a song like that could be perform live, since it's not the usual normal song, but they are soo good and so tight! At the beggining, i wasn't really a fan of the song and didn't really understand the hype about it, but the more i listened to it, the more i loved it and now i'm obssessed! 😂 Especially after reading the lyrcis, this is such a briliant song and the live version is perfection! I think oshi no ko is one of my favorite anime! Can't wait for season 2! 😊

I've been a fan of vocalist ikura since before she started working as YOASOBI, so this stage was unbelievably crazy in a good way.

[@griekran7086]

If you watch the making-of video of the idol song, you will see in the background that the supporters who are shouting 'Hey! Hey!' are actually Yoasobi fans who came to the studio and recorded this part while meeting the Yoasobi group. That's why it's not difficult for the crowd to accompany easly. The anime and the song are incredibly harmonious.

[@Tomtom_tiger79]

To be precise, it was a dance group called “real Akiba boyz” that mainly uploads content on youtube! Their concept is to specifically dress up like otakus so Ayase thought it was a great idea to have them do the shouting part haha

[@GOTGames]

Oh love that!!

[@ugurdogu8710]

​@@Tomtom_tiger79so they're not vocals in the end if you dont otaku you cant do that. this guys comment is right

Yaaaaaasss!!! Yes, I really agree with you, YOASOBI is a super duo. They're amazing. So talented, and they deserve all the popularity they're having 👏👏👏 If you want to check more Yoasobi live performances, I recommend you the live version of "Yoru ni kakeru". Just great. Greetings, Luke 🤗😊

[@hectorjuncal2312]

7:21 yeah also Racing Into The Night, really dark lyrics but being an upbeat song

[@rizzz___]

honestly, Ikura (the singer) is perfect fit as Ai Hoshino if they adapted it into life action.

[@TimotiusRadiansa]

I still rooted for Takahashi rie doing life action for ai 😅

[@laceyjo89]

I think it's purposeful that this song in particular has both a happy feeling on the surface, but there's parts underneath, and where it switches up that shows the "truth" as it were, that fit the lyrics. But i also wanted to mention, the western perspective of what music sounds happy vs sad is not universal. not everywhere is major chord=happy minor chord-sad. there are other cultures that use different music scales even than us.

[@xXchrisXx010]

I have been looking forward to that reaction since the live dropped!!!! Thanks Luke

[@LumiLunar]

This was also the encore song. Imagine being there and screaming for an encore and you hear that intro. Crazy.

[@YYfromjp]

The lights behind the last "ah, I can finally say this, this is not a lie, I love you" were the colors of ruby and aqua.

[@WxnterIsDead]

OK so I'm late to the party here....my 1st exposure to YOASOBI's IDOL was not from anime but from watching a Japanese dance troupe called Aventgardey who danced to IDOL at America's got Talent this past summer. So I just had to find out who YOASOBI was.....man what an act... and much like all Japanese entertainers these folks practice their art to perfection. I'm amazed that she can breathe given the lyrics. Hell I'm 70 and lost my breath just watching.

The freaky doll behind your head, right in the middle of the screen, staring straight into my soul, caught me way off guard at around 5:45 (yes I know it's been in focus at around 3 minutes and probably at other times)

[@shiroito1625]

Audience reaction to these concerts is common in Japan. This is because Japanese audiences want to be one with the musicians and create the moment. Fortunately, many well-known musicians from abroad have also been very appreciative of the reaction of Japanese audiences. As a result, they often choose Japan for concerts in Asia, which is why they come to Japan so often. And it is not limited to music concerts. The same atmosphere can be felt, for example, at baseball and boxing matches. Welcome to Japan. Ha ha.

There are good things and bad things about the "intimacy" between the bands and crowd in Japan. It invites parasocial relationships and creepy behaviour, as well. (Like someone giving their oshi a signed marriage certificate as only 1 example I've seen) Lives are usually really fun though. For the moves you referred to, in VKei, the moves fans do are called "furi" and are usually created by either the band or the front fans who are at every shows. There is a leader for each band who goes to every show and will be up front before the live so regulars can go "sign up" for a spot on the front line for their favorite bands. (Unlike big bands like YOASOBI, small bands tend to play in lives with 4-8 bands for a day) You cannot stand on the first line (saizen) unless you signed up and got accepted. There are specific rules to concerts that most people who go a lot learn to know. I won't add too much because I don't wanna write a book, but yes, fandoms are usually very dedicated and know the moves, or furi, of most of their favorite band's songs. (Some bands have excrutiatingly difficult furi too)

[@Mariageshokaikoh]

We Japanese got astonished! At first we throw down at the bottom of hell like Bohemian Rhapsody"s Opera Part just like the Verdi's Requiem or Carmina Brana under the mood of Dooms Day! Also music goes on under the complex of changing chords to be puzzled taking us to the heave, but at the moment we are thrown down again into the tragedies and despair!

[@marimcarden413]

Even her taking that breath in the beginning with no music.. I am just shaken. 🥶

[@kittiecandy747]

J pop fans make the audience a part of the performance. The light stick dance you see the twins do (and aqua later again) as well as the cheers during the song are called Wotagei/Otagei, a sort of performance art of fan chants and dances used to express themselves to songs. Japanese fans are INTENSE. They come up with specific chants that somehow, absolutely everyone knows. Look up Wotagei or japanese fanchants!
