>>81614200I dont think it's that big
I'd guess under 50 people in person
But it's the 12th time they are doing this so it has some longevity at least
Japan always loved their (literally underground) Chika-idols (not the chuuni sheep) performing in tiny venues under the streets of akiba usually, so close stage to the stage you can literealy smell them
Back in the golden age of nicovideo many chika-idols became streamers, some grew from there to become actual mainstream idols/seiyuu/talents of sorts and if vtubing was a thing in 2016 they all would have been vtubers
So stuff like this just makes sense historically speaking even the very Japanese urge to be both at the bleeding edge of tech and also also very retarded (as in delayed too) in their ways
This right here, is true otaku culture, it stinks, it's obsessive and needlessly niche but it's how your grow idols, not unlike turning stinky moldy neets streaming from their room into actual stars
