General Thread v3: The Hexagone

There is less info out rn compared to when I did the same post last year, but I'll do my best


just stole the line-up image from last year but this year we have the additions of ReGloss + Advent (10 additional members to those above)

Official Announcement Tweet


Full line-up:


Its not quite clear to me what the creator's stage is. It is the equivalent to what were the Honey Works and Deco*27 stages the last 2 years. But this time, it's not a collab with 1 artist but several, who all worked with Holo in the past. Will the members sing their own songs that got produced by outside people, or will they swap and sing each other's songs? Not sure, but if anyone knows better please tell me and I will edit.

The theme of this years EXPO seems to be Arcade. Not much has been out about the Expo yet, unless I am missing something.

Last year, the Event was sponsored by both Bandai and Bushiroad, in 2025 Bandai is the only sponsor.

---

Venue: Once again, its the Makuhari Messe, just outside of Tokyo.

The Size of the EXPO is a bit bigger compared to last year, with only 1 additional Hall.
The Venue for the concert is about the same (3 Expo halls) but they changed the location to a new building.


This is what the halls 9/10/11 look like from the inside:
I saw some speculation that maybe the new buildings are because of the new seating arrangement and because those halls don't have the big pillars that obstructed some views that last years Halls had.
Last years hall:

In absolute Square Meters, the new concert venue is slightly smaller than that of last year.


Despite that, I don't think the actual seating capacity will be any less than last years, with clever seating map it might even be slightly more.


Not sure how that Stage in the middle will work. Holograms maybe? It remains to be seen, but just as last year I have seen capacity estimates in the ballpark between 16.000 and 20.000 people.

It's already possible to buy tickets for streaming:
https://spwn.jp/events/evt_25030802-enghololive6thfes
Once again, there is also the possibility to buy streaming tickets via Stream+, but I don't know why anyone would do that, because Stream+ is region locked and also costs more than SPWN.

• One Concert: 6800¥ or 45 USD
• Two Days (all concerts): 25000¥ or 160 USD

Prices have increased by 300 Yen (1 USD) for the single concert tickets, but remains the same for the full 2 day ticket. Due to the falling value of the Yen, this means that the 2 Days ticket is 10 USD cheaper compared to last year.
Despite 10 new performers this year.

Still not cheap, but I remain by my guns: Overall, it's a solid bang for your buck. 4 concerts, each about 3 hours long means 12 hours of performance. Thats a lot of concert. And if @La+ de Central Norte can use his monopoly money salary to support the girls, so can you.

I haven't really looked into in-person attending this year.

Additional sidenotes:


An AR Stage has been announced (but haven't they been using AR since 3rd FES?) as well as some new Idol outfits.

New EXPO themed outfit has already been revealed:


A minor spelling mistake:

Seen noone clipped this yet and I'm too lazy but Miori went to Japan
- Bae spent 2 days trying to fix Miori to no avail
- They went shopping "seriously" (they usually just windowshopping before)
- Miori gave her some peach tea that she enjoys a lot.
- They brought matching friendship rings
From Miori side:

- Went shopping, and had Shabbu Shabu
- Miori paid for the most expensive set the restaurant has. (Can't catch the name, but googling random shabu shabu restaurant they can go up to $400 for 2 person. Or can go as low as $60. But the way she describe it sounds more like the 400 one.)

I think it should be pretty safe for now. Noone who's about to graduate would sign up for Fes (probs also why they let chloe and fauna announce graduation at the same time, right before information about fes came out). So you can breathe easy for another 4-5 months. After though then you can get worried

From having the worst debut of TEMPUS HQ and JP Faggagement muzzling him early to going to meetings naked and sending Hakka racist Instagram DMs on the regular...what a journey Axel

Speaking of Hakka, he's playing Inscryption and finishing up Act 3.

Miko and Korone announced the long-awaited return of MiKorone 24.The first half will be on January 2nd on Miko's channel and the second half on January 3rd on Korone's channel.
There's also going to be merchandise and a upcoming original song for the event. And Coca Cola is sponsering.

EDIT: Translated clip of all the announcements.

"The first kiss I got was an accident. It was in 2016. The girl kissed me"
I can't with this woman wtf. And then she just goes "She had a crush on me too"
You do a poki challenge with a girl who is in love with you, and then you kiss and you are just "nah relationships are overrated I don't like it"

If anyone hasn't had the pleasure of talking to Sakana through any method, I found the perfect 1 to 1 comparison to what the experience is like

Another ASMR event (different from Pillow's). This is...an interesting lineup to say the least:


A
Echo gave a preview of each girl's lines earlier - starts at 23:04 if the timestamp doesn't work:


It's been in the works for a couple of months apparently.

If the theme of the Fes is going to be "Color Rise Harmony," it would be bad form for them to not have "Full Colors" finally released before the event is over.

Shiina, your eggs....

Hmmm:

Got bonked I suppose:

Mio previously did a stream talking about ICL surgery.


Suisei made a special video that will appear in the Spotify Wrapped reel if she's among your top listened to artist. [Video download]



She also did a cover of a song from the movie's Japanese soundtrack.

Ky0resu showing off her landmine girl credentials.



Repping a full Angelic Pretty outfit, the plushies in the background and the sanrio-esque character with the bent ear made of lights are all very nice touches. 10/10.

No, I fully believe neither one of them actually realized it until they were told directly, after which they proceeded to scream for an undetermined amount of time before changing it

On the other hand, it’s funny, though!

Good work, Rie.

This shit is even darker than people realize. Sunny doesn't have a Dad because he's dead.

I've been watching Sunny off and on for most of her YT career and if I remember the lore correctly, it is that her Dad committed suicide. Their family was going through a tough time financially and the Dad took his own life as a means to claim life insurance money for his family by trying to make it look like he was murdered only for investigators to figure it out.

I don't have the means to back it up because it was sprinkled throughout streams from years ago, even before she started vtubing.

...well, now I want her to change it back, because it's funny!

but then she would have to deal with the outcry of unicorns, who should be summarily beaten with sticks until they stop their nonsense

either way, commence Total Unicorn Death

Randon streaming XCOM right now:



Someone from chat asked if there's a chance he's willing to try "waifu XCOM" Girls Frontline 2 and he laughed saying he's interested but admitted he's weak when it comes to gacha and is scared he might end up dumping all his savings on it if he does play it.

I sometimes forget how endearing the self-aware autism this dumbass has.
