VTuber Concert Sold Out a Stadium

[@Helmir]

The Japanese side of Hololive is absolutely wild and huge. Besides concerts from people like Pekora, Suisei, Watame, etc you can also find crazy stuff like Korone being an official Sonic ambassador, national TV appearances, etc. The group literally has a collab with the most popular professional Baseball team in Japan the Yomiuri Giants and you could see them on the stadium big screens.

[@hendrihendri3939]

Its no longer the question of when.. but HOW FAR they will go with their popularity. Maybe my schizo-fueled imagination of Hololive basically sponsoring a future F1 Japan Grand Prix isnt an impossibility anymore. Hell, i think Hololive JP could pretty much do anything at this point xD Edit: Wanna bet on how Korone gonna wind up as cameos on those new Sega remakes that got announced on The Game Awards?

The amazing thing about this concert in particular is that while it's not the first time Hololive has had talents perform on live stages, this is the first 'sololive' (aka a concert dedicated to a single talent) done in a venue this massive: previous sololives were done in places that only had 3K - 5K seating capacity, whereas this one was done in Ariake Arena, which had a max capacity of 13K to 15K. And as can be seen, the venue sold out, which speaks to how many people were watching in person.

I've been to the first HoloEN concert and just like the Miku concerts all the way back in 2008, they have some visual shenanigans happen to make it look like she's on the actual stage.

Just like any concert, the lull between songs are filled up with interactions between fans and themselves, so the talents are most likely mocapped to dance and perform in real time.
