Re: TM Revolution, I just remembered that I saw him in 2008 at New York Comic Con, as well as a particular moment from the concert. Luckily, I wrote about it back then. ogiuemaniax.com/2008/04/21/n...

I was sitting behind TM Revolution’s Japanese fan club. Before the concert started, and as fans waved signs and hooped and hollered and asked TMR to marry them, I asked the Japanese fan club girls what they thought of America.

Needless to say, they were impressed.

Man, what a closing show for 7th fes. This was a real gathering of divas for 4th Stage. Hajime's solo Countach choreo! Kronii with a new song! Hard to choose the best performance, but I think Moona and Nerissa's 100% was a real stand-out. #hololivefesEXPO26_DAY3

One takeaway I have from 7th fes so far is that all the talents have really upped their games, even just compared to last year. #hololivefesEXPO26_DAY2

Great first day of 7th fes to kick things off! I think they're gonna do all the MythMash songs. Also, I feel like they've tried to get the idol outfit models closer to official design proportions (see Zeta). #hololivefesEXPO26_DAY1
