I go to anime cons, lives.

Yoasobi in LA 2026:
- Cute hat
- Perfect weather for bowl, not too cold
- Live AI subtitles? lol
- LA is the "second home" to another popular JP artist ;)
- Some sad encore calls...

[gacha4life @gacha4life_]

- Says UO and guruguru not allowed in many franchises, but in her live anything goes, just be safe.
- Asked audience what song to do for encore, didn't have music for Edelweiss prepped, but sang it acapella anyway.
- Left stage through audience and gave hi-fives!

Notes about Asaka Los Angeles live
- She complains about people who cheer for Ohtani now but didn't back when he played in Japan (OG fan gripes?)
- Reveals she knows Spanish. Drops some Spanish on us.

also shoutout to mikey mcnamara for incredible interpreting at the speed of light, concise, and without losing/mangling any content. IMO one of the best interpreters at AX

man, was 11 away from the winning raffle ticket for a yoppi+saitou signed shikishi

[gacha4life @gacha4life_]

yoppi trying to read "rock n roll morning light falls on you" is so cute

5. actually perform it again to get mocap/cg and live recording, 6. give to animators to draw frames

[gacha4life @gacha4life_]

asked about animation process for performance scenes: 1. decide they need on-stage drama, 2. ask aniplex music team for realistic scenarios, 3. create it and get audio sample, 4. storyboard it

[gacha4life @gacha4life_]

then the ep12 seiza ni naretara scene. crowd was getting pretty into it, but too bad it ended just after the UO part of the bridge. saitou also shows storyboard for this scene

[gacha4life @gacha4life_]

saitou notes that he makes the visual unique in order to not lose to bocchi's deranged internal monologue. also that he is attracted to "primitive" expressions like low quality CG or dolls

[gacha4life @gacha4life_]

after is the ep8 game of life scene. saitou shows off the storyboard! might be first time anybody (other than staff) has seen it?

[gacha4life @gacha4life_]

panel moves on to showing clips from the anime and discussing it. first is the glitching scene. yoppi reenacts the screaming, asks us to scream too, and my eardrums explode from the screams behind me. we're all bocchi! thx yoppi

[gacha4life @gacha4life_]

yoppi asks if we've been to japan! or even shimokita!

[gacha4life @gacha4life_]

bocchi's culture festival performance is the biggest hurdle for her because she's mentally in an away-game, whereas the live house is more her home base. great retrospective from saitou

[gacha4life @gacha4life_]

bocchi panel was definitely one of the highlights of #AnimeExpo2024. CR did a great job bringing yoppi and keiichirou saitou over

[gacha4life @gacha4life_]

panel starts with q&a. yoppi/saitou are very amused that the audience applause every time they say something. IMO a good overseas (NA?) con characteristic

[gacha4life @gacha4life_]

yoppi comes out, front row chants "yoppi", back row is chanting "bocchi" instead. everyone learned "yoppi" by the end though! (there were multiple chants)

[gacha4life @gacha4life_]

saitou dresses with the same hobo vibes as ucchi... it's awesome

[gacha4life @gacha4life_]

before it even started, great mood-setting from the witty lady from CR
