Hello everyone~! Hopefully you all had a wonderful time at Drawn to Dawn, and to all overseas fans who attended the live viewing as well!
We’ve put together an afterthought article going through everything that happened, along with our thoughts on it! We also did some interviews with some very wonderful people—names you’d definitely recognize! Be sure to check out our article down below.
Drawn to Dawn - Unforgettable memories for all
Hello my fellow Takodachi and KFP!
What a journey it has been for me, for all the fans, and especially for Ina and Kiara. From countless hours of practicing choreography, singing, planning, and staging it all, there’s so much that went into this. I can’t capture everything in this article, but I’ll do my best.
As you all know, this journey began back in November with the announcement of Drawn to Dawn during TakoTori Showtime. A lot of fans were excited because not only was this their kamioshi’s live concert, but we were also getting new songs to go along with it.
I was one of them…at least for the new songs part. At the time, I didn’t think I could make it. I had just spent a lot of money going to LA a few months prior for another event, and after doing the math, I just couldn’t see a way to afford Drawn to Dawn. So I accepted the fact that I couldn’t go.
But as time passed, I started seeing more and more about it. Fan giveaways, meetups, off-kai events, flower stands…and then Ina and Kiara’s dance practices.
As the FOMO slowly kicked in, I asked myself a question I should’ve asked earlier:
"She's…my kamioshi. Is it worth being debt-free a few months earlier, and missing out on the person who literally changed my life?"
Well… as you can tell from me writing this article, the answer was obvious.
So I set everything aside and started planning: plane ticket, early GA ticket, hotel. All set.
Let's start by going into the first set of diaries Ina and Kiara has written out for us!
Released on January 30, these gave us a glimpse into their lives leading up to the event.
Ina reflected on the past, reminiscing about Kiara and their dance practices from long ago, while Kiara talked about making new friends and even receiving a warm, cozy scarf as a gift.
As time went on, you could really feel how hard they were working every single day, preparing not just for 7th fes., but for Drawn to Dawn as well.
And honestly…it was beautiful. They’re both so cute…ughhhhh my heart > ~ <
But wait, what's this? A pre-party before the concert?!
That’s right! If you had a Drawn to Dawn ticket, you could apply for a gacha ticket to attend a pre-party event. Not only were there free on-site goods like clear files and badges, plus refreshments and giveaways.
But the biggest highlight was seeing Kiara and Ina in person! They even held a raffle where winners got to meet them…
…I’m totally not jealous at all ( ; ω ; )
Around the same time, we also got the second set of TakoTori diaries. Now less than three weeks away from the concert, the excitement was really building.
Ina continued to praise Kiara, talking about how amazing she is. And honestly, both of them are just so wholesome. I really wish I could tell them directly how much they mean to all of us Takodachi and KFP.
Kiara also mentioned how she wanted to include more chantable parts in the album, which led to songs like “EGO” and “Martyr”.
Although…Martyr is quite…
“MURDER! MURDER! MURDER! THE MARTYR!”
Kiara…what kind of wholesome thoughts is possible when we're screaming murder? www (≧◡≦)
Still, both Vogelfrei and re:VISION felt like perfect setlists leading into Drawn to Dawn. You could already feel the energy building before the concert even started.
Fast forward to 7th fes., where we saw Ina’s first performance of “Tako~Takover” and Kiara’s first performance of “EGO”, and wow…
I thought my oshi couldn’t get any cuter, but they both absolutely killed it.
When I watched it live, I genuinely thought:
“I might actually die seeing this at Drawn to Dawn.”
Spoiler alert: I did.
After the pre-party, things were relatively quiet. Just more practice on their end, and on our side… more chant learning!
We had a LOT of songs to learn (*≧ω≦*)
But honestly, it was fun just looping bangers over and over again.
And then came our third and final set of diaries!
This one hit especially hard emotionally, so I highly recommend reading it directly on the official concert website yourself!
This entry is filled with emotions, and you can just tell. So I think it's best you see it, and as you read it, maybe play my most beloved Kiara song, Blue & Gold...
Oh god, why am I doing this to myself again... (ಥ﹏ಥ)
Then came the message boards. which was filled with fan messages and amazing artwork. Reading through them really reminded me how incredible this community is.
Also, don’t forget: special voice recordings from Ina and Kiara were made available depending on your purchase version!
Please note that as of this article being sent out, Ninomae Ina'nis's Special Voice Pack will be delayed. An email should have been sent out to those who purchased it
What do you mean there's still more fun stuff to discover?!
And just when you thought that was it…We got the TakoTori campaign!
Fans were encouraged to post photos of their Drawn to Dawn merch for a chance to be featured and win rewards.
Then came the results stream on Ina’s channel, where we saw the winners AND got even more announcements.
Firstly, live cinema viewing!
Live viewing at select cinemas were announced for Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand!
Connecting the world through TakoTori, I guess you could say "Drawn to Dawn" is truly out of this world!
And honestly, seeing reactions from fans across the globe made me so happy. No matter where we were, we were all experiencing this together.
I also want to shout out a fan project organized by @KiiraKii, bringing together fans from all over the world. From Los Angeles to across the Pacific!
You can watch the video here, because I just can't put into words how wonderful this is!
So many fans, so many cosplayers, and SO MANY AWESOME PEOPLE! KFP WAH!
Secondly, we got some fun things to do! First is the Drawn to Dawn Bingo!
Ina and Kiara made it live on stream, and I think we managed to grab some bingos! I think we got some wonderful ones, such as 6 7 mentioned (we definitely got that one, thank you Kiara!) or Ina Cries @ MC (Oh god my heart).
I still can’t fully process that we actually made it here. Our oshis, after working so hard for so long, finally got their own concert, performing at their absolute peak. As one could say, it was…cinema. (Get it? Cinema? And like, we’re watching it in a cinema… heh.)
The next announcement was a Drawn to Dawn icon!
Kiara’s feathers on the left, Ina’s tentacle on the right, tied together with their signature colors—it makes for such a clean and meaningful icon. You can still try it out yourself by clicking the link and applying it to your profile. It works automatically for X / Twitter, but you can definitely use it elsewhere too!
And lastly, the campaign winners! After the campaign ended, 20 winners were selected, and we’ll be listing them all here. Congratulations to everyone who won, and thank you for supporting and showing your love to Kiara & Ina!
And if you want, you can click on the links in eachif you wanna see Kiara & Ina reactions to that specific post!
And with that, that wraps up all of our campaign winners! It was so fun seeing everyone’s submissions, even if you didn’t win. Again, feel free to check the timestamped clips to see the girls reacting!
Phew, that was quite long, and we haven't even gotten into the concert itself! I promise, we're almost done, so let's get into the miscellaneous stuff!
Firstly, the official AmiAmi English account wished the best of luck to our TakoTori duo with an adorable illustration. Super cute.
Secondly, Beard Papa came in clutch with their hololive collab. The collab was supposed to end right before Drawn to Dawn, but the location near The Wiltern held it down and kept the cream puffs going! Even international fans got to try them, which I’m really grateful for, as well as Kiara and Ina (Ina claimed the green creamed puff one, because that's what rival do).
Third, in preparation for Drawn to Dawn, we got a 3D Dance Lesson stream!
Alongside Kiara and Ina, we as fans got to learn choreo too, taught by the one and only Minami-sensei! We learned dances like “TakoTakover” and “EGO”, along with past songs like “Breaking Dimensions”. If you haven’t watched it yet, please do, because they’re all so cute together.
And lastly, watchalongs!
Day 1 featured Mori the Reaper, Baelz the Rat, IRyS, Kronii the Clock, Shiori the Archiver, Biboo the Gem, Mococo the Fuzzy, Gigi the Rizzler, Cecilia (Ina’s arch nemesis), and Raora the BEEG cat. All on Mori’s channel. It was such a mix of funny, emotional, and chaotic moments. Honestly, it just felt right having it there. The 6–7 year journey…
And then right across the street, we had Ollie. I’m sure you’ve seen the clips, so…yeah. Ollie is such a gem. Rewatching Drawn to Dawn with her commentary in the background had me dying of laughter.
Kiara even left a comment under her tweet, and Ollie’s response was..yeah, no that's very much like Ollie. I mean, just look at her face wwww
and then on Day 2, brought back the same crew, and just like Day 1, Day 2’s Stream was packed with emotions, especially during “Blue & Gold”. Even if it wasn’t your first time watching, it still hit just as hard.
Drawn to Dawn - Day 1 & Day 2
I won’t go into super detailed breakdowns of the paid portion, but please believe me when I say it’s absolutely worth buying the streaming ticket. The VOD closes on April 28th at 8:00 PM PST, so be sure to check it out here!
Day 1 kicked things off strong, with Kiara opening on stage with “Hinotori” and “SPARKS”. Immediately, the first thing that hit me was the fire effects, and I’ll never get tired of how well they enhance the performance.
Throughout her set, the use of fire and wind really helped bring everything to life and immerse you in the moment. And not only that…broke gang was crying because what do you mean we got FOUR songs in the free portion?!
We also got to see her new outfit: a beautiful, colorful (and yes, slightly spicy 👀) dress. Like Kiara said…it got HOT.
Another thing I really liked was how they elevated the stage. I’m guessing it was so fans further back could still see clearly, but even from pit, I thought it added a lot to the experience.
And then Ina came in…
Her performances of “Temari” and “Gunjou”? I’m sorry—my heart cannot handle this.
Her outfits were also incredibly cute (❁´◡`❁)
Especially the Drawn to Dawn outfit without the outer layer. I genuinely wish that was merch because I would wear that 24/7.
And of course… “Takodachi no Uta”…Insert Flare “ORENOINAAAAA” here.
Our priestess cannot be this cute. WAH.
Also, I have to talk about the towel.
As someone who hasn’t gone to many concerts, this was my first time doing the towel spin, and I’m SO glad hololive EN hinted at bringing one. I grabbed mine at Animate, and wow, it made the experience so much more fun.
At the peak moment, when everyone started spinning towels during the chorus…
I turned around for a second, and honestly, I don’t even know how to describe it.
The stage glowing bright.
The entire venue filled with purple and orange penlights.
Towels spinning everywhere like they were about to take off.
UOs flashing across the crowd.
And then the streamers fell…
You just…stand there, speechless.
That was Day 1.
Day 2 was just as insane, if not more.
Opening with “TAKO TAKOVER”???
I knew it was coming, but I still wasn’t ready.
And the chants? INSANE.
It was already loud in person, but hearing it again, you can tell the mics picked up everything. During the bass drop, I felt it. I’ve never headbanged that hard in my life.
And then “Palette” in the free portion too??
Broke gang was FEASTING.
Now… I need to talk about this part.
After “StarRingChild”, we got…
Man.
I can’t say this enough. This was my favorite moment.
As some of you know, I’m both a Takodachi and a Hoshiyomi. Ina introduced me to hololive, and Suisei’s music has carried me through some really difficult times.
So when Ina performed “Stellar Stellar”…live…in front of me…
I genuinely don’t have the words.
The two people who mean the most to me in this space, connected in that one moment.
Even now, writing this, I’m tearing up again.
Ina-san…thank you. Even rewatching it now bring me tears.
And of course, the rest of the performances were amazing too.
“One Last Kiss” was incredibly sweet, “Abyssal Hymn” hit hard, and overall the pacing felt really well done.
Also, intermissions!
From what I know, this might be one of the first times hololive used them like this (I could be wrong). But it was honestly such a great addition.
It gave everyone time to:
Grab water (which I desperately needed after Stellar Stellar LOL)
Check merch
Visit flower stands
Take a breather
And it worked really well for both in-person and live viewing audiences.
Then it was Kiara’s turn again.
KFP. Brace yourselves.
EGOOOOOOOO
The energy was unreal. You could feel it in the crowd AND on stage. And then “Martyr” hits and suddenly everyone’s screaming:
"MURDER! MURDER! MURDER! THE MARTYR!"
LOL. And then…“Retrospective”.
My personal favorite Kiara song.
I’ve heard some KFP say it’s underrated outside the fanbase, which is honestly a crime because this song is SO good.
And finally…“Blue & Gold”.
Seeing it live, the penlights shifting from blue and gold…to darkness…and then to Myth colors…
Emotional damage ×100.
Kiara also mentioned that the camera angles didn’t fully capture her intended vision, so adjustments may come later, and she’s hoping to do a watchalong once that’s fixed.
Also, selfies with the crowd??
So cute.
And I cannot forget “the scream.”
That moment where they shout without the mic so you can hear them directly…
I was in the PIT.
I heard it clearly.
And it’s just…surreal.
Knowing they’re right there. That they can see us.
I hope they truly understand how much they mean to us, because I wouldn’t be here without them.
And just like that…It was over.
Two nights of performances. Four days of experiences.
Afterward, both Ina and Kiara shared their thoughts afterward, and yeah…that’ll make anyone cry.
We’ve been here since debut. Six years of memories.
Seeing them on that stage…it meant everything.
But like Kiara said:
“It is time for a new dawn.”
P.S: This is a really beautiful wallpaper that you guys should check out.
I think it's a beautiful reminder of that concert every time you turn your computer on.
I also want to show you this message by our best girl, YAGOO!
Thank you for creating hololive English, YAGOO.
Interviews + Cosplayers + Pictures of Fan Events!
First off, the interviews!
I had the honor of speaking with some incredible people, names you’ll definitely recognize. We structured this into three parts:
Pre-concert questions
Post-concert reflections
Live cinema experiences
(Also worth noting: Ina and Kiara both have official interviews on the hololive site, which are absolutely worth checking out!)

Pre-Concert Questions
For our pre-concert questions, please welcome Ghost x Ghost, m-pien, LinkCat, Raz.gg!
What performances are you excited to see from Kiara and Ina?
Ghost: From Kiara, honestly, anything involving some good dancing, but as I know we’re going to get that, I hope she goes back to the beginning and performs Hinotori. And from Ina, I just can’t wait for everyone to chant “Ina Ina Ina, Ina Ina!”
m-pien: I love so many Kiara’s original songs, DO U might be one of my favorite. Also I’m exited to see the penlights color for blue and gold! As for Ina must be the TAKO TAKOVER! I can’t wait to shout the Ichi Hachi Takodachi! Also I’m excited to see what duo songs they will be performing.
LinkCat: For Kiara, the performance I'm most excited for is Hinotori! According to other diehard KFP, she has never sung it live since 3rd fes with the famous Kikkerikick! It's also her most mixable song (taiga faiya chants etc.) and one of her hypest, so we're all waiting to blow the roof off! As for Ina, I honestly like all of her originals, and I'm excited to do the TakoTakeover calls with all my Takodachi friends! But I'm really curious to see what songs she will cover from her senpais. She always takes a lot of care in her covers and her voice gives them a unique spin!
Raz.gg: I wasn't expecting any songs as I didn't catch up to much of their discography. However, I was excited to hear Ina's performance of "Menocopsis" and "Violet"; as well Kiara's popular hits like "DO U" and "Sparks."
Are you planning on attending any offkai and / or meetup?
Ghost: Probably not, as I will be drinking heavily before the show, and will be passed out by the end. That’s a joke. Maybe.
m-pien: I’ll be at the takodachi photo meetup on Saturday, also the takotori day 3 on Sunday.
LinkCat: I really need to rest so I don't have any concrete post-concert plans. I'll probably just go with the flow and grab some food with whoever I end up with after the show. However, I am planning on attending the Day 3 event that a bunch of my friends are hosting (since 2 days is clearly not enough!)
Raz.gg: I wasn't but I was going to a takodachis fan gathering on Day 2. However, It was cool to go to the HoloTakeover afterparty after the Day 1 concert. Their events are always fun to go as they bring a big community vibe. Be at a lookout for their afterparties if you plan on going to any major VTuber events like Drawn To Dawn.
What are you rocking for your concert outfit?
Ghost: Hopefully clothes. Seriously though, I’m just there to see what everyone else is wearing, as see if I can spot any of my merch on anyone. Ghost is always watching.
m-pien: I’ll be wearing my self made Ina t shirt, ina happi and Ina Thai pants. I also have a self made takodachi cap!
LinkCat: For Day 1 I am rocking the KFP hat from @KamiOshiApparel, the HoloWeen shirt (it's the only shirt I own with both Kiara and Ina on it) and the official Kiara happi. For Day 2 I was going to just wear the Breaking Dimensions shirt, but I got a huge surprise in line! 2 years ago I had left my only Kiara shirt at DoKomi in Germany and it's been in Europe ever since. But I ran into my friend and she brought it back for me all the way from France! So I'll be wearing that, the hat, and the fanmade Kiara happi from Breaking Dimensions. I'll also have my Kiwawa bracelet from @ToriaP16 and the Aqua Crew necklace that I wear to every event!
Raz.gg I have this reputation of being well dressed everywhere for these types of events, so I'm always looking good. Day 1, I came straight from my work so it was your typical button up with tie and slacks. But with a violet tie Day 2, maybe just something light with jeans as the atmosphere was intense inside the Wiltern. This time with my Korone happi. I know she's not there, but I have to represent my oshi somehow .
Post-Concert Questions
And now for our post concert questions! Coming from our guests above as well, Ghost x Ghost, m-pien, LinkCat,Raz.gg, as well as BugMaster, the original buff Takodachi!
How was the concert?
Ghost: It was fantastic! Super fun to have Ina & Kiara in our great city. Amazing to see all the fans going crazy. If anyone even wants to go to one of these live, but hesitates- don't. The energy from the crowd in a show like this can never be properly describe. You just have to experience it.
m-pien: Soooo amazing! It will be my lifetime memory.
LinkCat: The concert was as amazing as I could have dreamed! There are a lot of Kiara songs that I've been waiting to cheer for live, and she did all of them! The choreography from both talents was on point the whole way through, and especially in the encore you could tell they were having so much fun with it! I was so so impressed that Ina could match Kiara's moves. They've really come so far since that first routine in Studio Ame! Cheering at the barrier on Day 1 with my close friend @SalubriousBeets was an unforgettable experience. We went all out for our oshi! On Day 2 I stood back a bit more so that I could fully take in the experience surrounded by my fellow KFP and Takodachi. It wouldn't be the same without the sense of community and familial bond that we all share.
Raz.gg: It was excellent! Hololive concerts are something every vtuber fan should experience at any point as their production and performances are worth the price of admission. The lighting, sets, costumes, and obviously, talents are always something worth seeing.
BugMaster: So the concert was amazing. Both days were fantastic but day 2 definitely takes the spot for me... what a day!!
What was your favorite performance from the concert?
Ghost: For Kiara, it was Blue and Gold. My seat was high and in the middle, so I could see the split of the penlights perfectly. Plus, the subjects of the song... For Ina, while it was incredible to hear the crowd screaming "Ina Ina Ina! Ina! Ina!" during Tako Takeover, it was actually her singing One Last Kiss that really hit me. Love that song, and it was a nice surprise.
m-pien: It’s so hard to pick one since they chose so many songs I love. I think blue and gold might be the one impresses me the most, seeing the venue split in blue and yellow color, while listening to Kiara’s beautiful voice. It was so touching that I cried so hard
LinkCat: As exhilarating as all the hype songs were, nothing could outdo the emotions I felt during Palette from Ina Blue and Gold from Kiara. Like many in the venue, I started this journey with Myth. All 3 remaining members have held a concert now, but we will not forget those two mythical talents who struggled alongside them, and who will never get that chance. Kiara wanted to continue singing on stage with them, and I wanted to continue to cheer for them, but their paths have now diverged. Blue and Gold is the perfect tribute song to remember them by. We will forever hold them in our hearts.
Raz.gg: My favorite performances were from Ina's "Meconopsis" and Kiara's "Chimera." And their duo performances of "Kirameki Rider" on both days. The feeling of that song live really invigorated the Wiltern Theater that night. On day 1, it was going over Kiara's discography and just energizing the crowd to kick things off. I did like the portion of Day 2 of Ina paying homage to her senpais.
BugMaster: My favorite performance for the concert was probably Chimera! The bass in the venue went sooo hard, the fire effects timed with the beat during the chorus, the syncronizing of the crowd's penlight with the flames, the beat and the insane danse is engraved in my mind
Beyond the performances themselves, do you have a favorite moment from Day 1 or Day 2? MC segments, fancams, fan chants, etc.
Ghost: As I said before, the energy from the crowd was electric. It was also fun to take to other fans, something we don't get to do a lot here at Ghost Manor. And selfishly, it was rad to see so many peeps wearing our tees!
m-pien: I think it’s the part Ina and Kiara reading the letter they wrote to each other, they said they both loved how each other shined in their own way on stage. They’re so different in performance style, but mach so well to make this concert amazing, just like they supporting each other to make their dream come true. I love how they love and support each other so much, it’s so sweet
LinkCat: This may surprise you, but the most impactful moment was actually Ina's MC where she got emotional about her past. I have been very in tune with Kiara's journey across all these years, but Ina is a talent that I haven't put much time into compared to the rest. Hearing her talk about her struggles, I could sense an entire parallel journey that I just wasn't keyed in to. For the first time, I could feel the emotions that my Takodachi brethren have been building onto for the last 5 and a half years, and the weight of that moment will sit with me for a long time.
Raz.gg: I did like the fact that there was so much pyro! The funny thing is that I remember there was smoke at Calli's Sololive and thought "there's gonna be pyro next, is there?" And they used so much of it. Another thing I liked was the sentimental moments from Kiara and Ina. It really meant a lot that a lot of time has passed and it's now year 6 of their careers. And all the good and bad had led them to this moment. I hope that they should be proud of all the work they have put in for this concert.
BugMaster: But my absolute favorite moment was Ina's speech, Right after the acoustic version of Violet. The tears started at the end of the song, after we got to gently say the last lyrics... And then Ina came in and smashed my heart to smithereens. That speech made me incredebly happy and emotional, while pooring out my tears because of the emotions I couldn't hold. Right after the speech in the intermission one of my friends went down from the mezzanine and, with a third friend, we hugged. And I needed that hug And at the end of the concert while waiting to get my props back, I saw two of my friends who were in the pit. They saw me, and their eyes were watery... one of them said 'I'm so glad I got to see this here', and my tears came back and we hugged it out again. These moments are burned into my heart and mind and I'll truly never forget them
If given the opportunity, give us one message you’d like to share with TakoTori!
Ghost: Myth is my oshi, so I'll always support the ladies. That said- Kiara... Ina... Next time, please give us a day 3, 4, and 5. Ok? Ok. Thank you forever.
m-pien: I’m so happy to be able to witness you guys’ hard works and made your dream come true! Thank you so much! Love you TakoTori!!!
LinkCat: You were, are, and will continue to be, our idols. You are worth it.
Raz.gg: Thank you for coming to LA! I've been to concerts in the Wiltern where they were good shows but didn't fill up the whole area. Until your concert came in. "Sold Out" was an understatement. To me, it felt like a full house. I want to thank the KFP and Takodachis that have made this concert in full force. They really brought the house down. Lastly, I can't wait to see what's the next chapter for both Kiara and Ina.
BugMaster: You've made it. You were right to give yourselves the chance. You are talented and deserve the success you fought hard to achieve, and we are blessed to accompany you on this journey. Thank you, my oshis
Live Cinema Questions
And now for our Live Cinema Questions! Please welcome KiiraKii, who attended the Hong Kong Live Cinema showing! I'm sure many of you know them through the TakoTori project, but they're also an awesome cosplayer as well!
What was your thoughts on Kiara and Ina's performances at Drawn to Dawn?
KiiraKii: I’ve always felt that Kiara thrives on the stage, and her section was no exception. Every song she performed over the two days were so thematically distinct yet flowed into the next set: I truly feel like her passion and planning really showed through in that way. Her idea to introduce wind in her performance was an inspired choice that blew me away: i can’t wait for other Hololive members to take advantage of this new technology! For Ina, she is my personal favorite in Myth and I’ve always felt a connection with her soft spoken yet charmingly mischievous nature. I was completely bowled over by her performance because I couldn’t have imagined how much her singing ability would evolve over the years. Her classic originals always strike a chord with my emotions and her handpicked favorite japanese pop songs always seem to match my preferences too: I found myself near tears twice when she kicked off with Gunjou and when she sang her hauntingly beautiful rendition of Umi no Yuurei, which threatened to shake the speakers at my cinema viewing to pieces with the bass.
Was this your first hololive concert live viewing?
KiiraKii: I’m happy to say that it’s not: only recently has Hong Kong been getting all kinds of official live viewing opportunities like its neighbors in Korea and Taiwan. It all started with a rescreening of Stages 1 through 3 of 5th Fes at a local cinema in December 2024, which I gladly sacrificed arm and voice to throughout the day long marathon. Since then, it’s been HoloMeet, Stage World Tour and guest appearances… my wallet fears for the future.
What was your experience like going into the theater? How was it like watching the concert at your theater? What did you like and maybe not like about it?
KiiraKii: The theater itself isn’t much to speak of: Hong Kong’s live viewing locations for this event were in cinema branches, which range in size from large, fancy locations to small affairs that only offer small areas for photo opportunities for those interested in that sort of thing. Both days’ locations featured a simple backdrop with the concert’s main PV printed on it. What the location lacked in fanfare however, the energy and building excitement from the local fans more than made up for that! I personally havent got any complaints about my experience. Perhaps people with higher standards for audio would have mentioned the bassy thrumming of the struggling speakers during the aforementioned Umi no Yuurei as a negative, but I felt like it didn’t hinder my own experience by much.
Cosplayers
Of course, speaking of cosplayers, there were many cosplayers during Drawn to Dawn, cosplaying not only Ina and Kiara, but also other Myth talents such as Mori Calliope and Gawr Gura!
It always make me smile whenever I see cosplayer cosplays, because it's such heavy work sometimes, and I want them all to know how appreciated they are. That's why this section is dedicated to all the cosplayers~!
Starting with…
Heidi, cosplaying as Kiara with her 6th fes. outfit
Chloe cosplaying as Ina in her 6th fes. outfit!
Toby cosplaying as Kiara in her new song, EGO! Seriously, that's some fast cosplay right there!
Amechan as Kiara, holding a tiny.. adorable.. so cute.. so squishy... Ina~ TakoTori forever!
Julius as Raora, and VxPenguin as Gawr Gura! Look like Kiara has found her new pink ehe~
DarkiPanda as Ina in her Drawn to Dawn outfit!
And that's all the cosplayers! It's always so cool to see all the cosplays and the work people put into it!
And some other awesome fan events!
Before we wrap things up, take a look at all these awesome flowerstands!
While unfortunately I don't know which flowerstand was made by which Takodachi and KFP, I just want to at least mention the amazing work they put in!
So many beautiful flowerstands, cute artwork, and...god, I really want to take them home and display them right infront of my window...They're so pretty, I just love love love it!
With that, we can get started with our first fan-hosted event, the Kiara flag!
Made by Ube, the flag shows off all the cute Wawa from her 6th fes. journey! In fact, the original image is actually much bigger! So cool!!!
And with more flags, this double-sided Drawn to Dawn artwork printed out onto a flag by Solrac!
They went around having fans sign it, which was super cool! I wonder if you guys can find me on there~ hehe :3
And.. what is this? It's a wild takodachi, carrying around Ghost x Ghost merch! This dang Takodachi looking so smug, it's adorable!
Also Takodachi Photoshoot Meetup! Organized by ParuParu, there were so many Takodachi that came together! So many WAH, so much praying, so many not-a-cult moments!
In fact, even Flare herself noticed us and responded!
Final Words
And that's it! This is the longest articles I've written, so first and foremost, I apologize for the delay.
It's been such an honor writing this, and I'm glad I was able to include so many awesome things!
Thank you to Ina and Kiara for performing, thank you to all the Takodachi and KFP I've met, got the chance to talk to, interviewed, and just hang out in general!
It is genuinely so amazing seeing all the works everyone have put in.
With that, I'll see you all next time, my fellow Holofriends!
