Mori Calliope\u2019s first solo concert blew fans away, but Hololive star had doubts YouTube: Mori CalliopeMori Calliope finally achieved one of her big goals as a VTuber, going on stage in 3D and performing a solo concert in front of tens of thousands. However, it wasn\u2019t all smiles for the Hololive star, who went into her July 21 performance with big doubts. When Mori Calliope joined Hololive in 2020, one of her big goals was to get on stage and perform in front of a crowd. The rapper reaper has been grinding in the underworld in the years since, and finally got to that stage on July 21 with her debut \u201cNew Underworld Order\u201d concert. The sneak peek VOD, which has been watched by more than 300,000 people within 24 hours, blew fans away \u2014 and those who spent the $50 on a full-access ticket said it was worth every dime. With fans in the crowd at Tokyo\u2019s Toyosu Pit jumping for joy and waving their lightsticks, it was a lot for Calli to take in. Despite all the fanfare, the star had her doubts about how the concert would actually go. \u201cWhen I got to the actual venue for rehearsal, I was super down,\u201d she admitted on stream the day after. \u201cI don\u2019t know what it was. I wasn\u2019t in a good mood and I was looking at myself thinking \u2014 it\u2019s not that I want to put down my own success but I was starting to think to myself whether I was washed up. Maybe I\u2019m not doing as well as I used to be. Maybe it\u2019s over.\u201d However, Calli\u2019s mentality changed when she started seeing fans flock into the hall, as well as in chat. \u201cI saw guys of course but I saw high school girls and older women, old guys, young guys, couples there together,\u201d she continued. \u201cThere was one girl with her boyfriend and she was jumping up and down because she was so excited. I saw how happy they were and they came for me. They came to see me perform and me sing and make them happy. \u201cIt was the same at the end of the show when I saw everyone leaving. I saw people getting so excited and bobbing their heads to the music. I instantly felt a smile spread across my face and I felt so stupid for thinking I was maybe washed up. Even if I was washed up and not doing well, that\u2019s not the reason why I do this \u2014 I do this for those people. \u201cWhen I look over to chat too, the chat was going wild with people so excited and happy. I don\u2019t know why I felt so down. All of those people in the crowd, in chat, they were real. That really helped me feel better about everything.\u201d While the exact number of paying fans isn\u2019t public, the response online points towards tens, if not hundreds of thousands praising Calli for her first concert. The 24-song performance, including a hype encore that left the star red \u201clike a tomato\u201d (and like the song) was well received, making all the effort worth it in her eyes. \u201cI don\u2019t know how we did it, to be completely honest, but you guys could hear by the end that I was gone. \u201cAs soon as I got off the floor, I walked to the back at full speed and Universal people were waiting. Their faces turned to horror when they saw my face was actually a tomato. The first thing I did was explode to the backstage and go to the shower, and I looked at my face in the shower and I was like \u2018bro no f**king way\u2019. My arms too \u2014 it looked like I had sunburn.\u201d \u201cIt was a happy exhaustion. I need to let myself have a break. I need to not stream for a minute. I am going to let myself have a couple of days.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
