Hololive\u2019s Connect The World concert lives up to its name Supplied: COVER CorpHololive\u2019s first VTuber concert in the west, Connect The World, was a roaring success with thousands of tickets sold for the hybrid event. CEO Motoaki \u2018YAGOO\u2019 Tanigo said it\u2019s only the beginning of international events and collaboration for the mega agency. Hololive\u2019s Connect The World concert was the mega agency\u2019s first major overseas event. While Holofes and various solo concerts for the likes of Hoshimachi Suisei and Mori Calliope have entranced Japanese audiences, US fans finally got to see their favorite virtual idols on stage, on home soil, on July 2. Each member of Hololive English\u2019s female branches Myth and Council, plus standalone VSinger IRyS, got their chance in the spotlight with solo performances on the night. Guests from Hololive\u2019s Indonesian (Ayunda Risu, Moona Hoshinova, Pavolia Reine) and Japanese (Tokino Sora, Hoshimachi Suisei, Houshou Marine) branches also turned out for the packed crowd. Hololive managed to sell out the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles with more than 5,600 seats. Online streaming tickets were even more lucrative, with sales still open following the concert with fans able to gain access to the archive. It was a booming success for the mega VTubing agency, and CEO Motoaki \u2018YAGOO\u2019 Tanigo wants to build on it for the future. \u201cBeing able to provide a stage where our talents could shine in the United States and seeing our fans enjoy it in person makes my heart full,\u201d YAGOO told Dexerto. \u201cWith this concert as our starting line, we would like to not only perform live in North America, but also [strengthen] relationships with various companies, so that fans can enjoy seeing us more, and we would like to expand where our talents can perform.\u201d All of the individual VTubers resonated with those comments following the concert as well. \u201cIt was crazy,\u201d Hakos Baelz shared with fans. She ended up performing her original song PSYCHO. \u201cI didn\u2019t really sleep last night because I was so nervous but thankfully it didn\u2019t affect being on stage much. \u201cI was the opening solo act and I was so scared. When we were told the lineup, I freaked out. I\u2019m still very overwhelmed.\u201d \u201cIt was really cool to see the crowd,\u201d Watson Amelia said. \u201cThe audience was going crazy. It seemed electrifying to be in there, watching the concert live. You were on top of changing the [lightstick] colors.\u201d \u201cI know it must have been difficult to arrange things so you guys could catch the concert, but the fact you guys were able to make it \u2014 in person too \u2014 that\u2019s really amazing,\u201d Ouro Kronii added. \u201cI appreciate you guys for that. \u201cThe fact you guys were following along and singing in chat and supporting through that. I appreciate you were able to make it all around.\u201d Hololive also had a presence at Anime Expo over the weekend, also in LA. YAGOO turned out for the fan events, while new looks at Gawr Gura, LaPlus Darkness, and Ninomae Ina\u2019nis\u2019 upcoming figures were revealed. YAGOO noted \u201cthe passion and energy of the fans outside of Japan,\u201d and thanked them for their continued support of the VTuber agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
