Almost 3am for me, but I do it out of love for Aqours...yes...just gotta keep telling myself that...

This will be my Aqours Lost World Day 1 livetweet thread with my reactions and stuff — mute this thread or the hashtag #LOSTWORLD_DAY1 if you want to avoid spam/spoilers!

We start off with chibis of the 3rd years giving info about the show, no recording, etc. along with the official hashtag #LOSTWORLD_DAY1

First off, splash screens of Guilty Kiss in their New Romantic Sailors outfit! and holy FUCKING SHIT THIS SUBUNIT REMIX IS LIT

(someone who was at actually their lives please confirm if this remix has been used before lol)

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

If NijiGaku used their 1L audio for the audience cheers, I wonder which live was used for this one...they even have the "let's go!" audience calls for NRS so...their subunit live perhaps?

They start off the song by all shouting "LOST WORLD - START!!!"

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

About the venus - the stage seems rather small so they're definitely not at Tokyo Dome or anything lol

Like NijiGaku, they're using AR technology to add effects at key moments like the Riko-chan laser beam, Yohane eye, etc.!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

*venue, fuck it

Props include a clown & tent in the background...reminded me of LLfes a little haha

Immediately after that we jump straight into a Braveheart Coaster remix! and what the fucking shit no one told me the drops for this one were like this

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

lmaooo i just realized that the globe in the background (stage prop) is actually from the perfect world live logo

rip

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

there is a blue bandana tied around shukashuu's left leg sort of like a wedding garter and HELP I DID NOT NEED ANY MORE INCENTIVE TO STARE AT SHUKASHUU'S THIGHS...

CYaRon! never disappoints with how much fucking air they get when they jump!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

Anchan does an adlib during the instrumentals at the end asking everyone to comment a lot and get fired up for the online concert!

omg they bring out this huge Lost World banner with CYaRon!'s handwriting all over it, cute...

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

ASDLJFUNVAOLSDUFYVNADF

HOLY FUCKING FINALLY..........AZALEA

AMAZING TRAVEL DNA

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

ARISHA AND SUWAWA AND KINCHAN LOOK SO GOOD IN THE AMAZING TRAVEL DNA OUTFITS SAOIDFUNASVDODFYNPAODFPANDFVAPSD8FAS

ASDFIOVUNADSOFOA;;;;;;

(...i wonder where they got the audience calls for this one?)

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

not sure if it's all the really colorful/shiny effects, or if it's just my computer, or if it's a problem on their end instead of mine, but the quality/bitrate died for a bit during the chorus rip lol

lots of airplane/airport signs for the screen effects!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

okay the 2D illustrations really do not show how short the skirt looks on the girls irl...staring at arisha's legs again...wow...how surprising...

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

oh, unlike the other subunits, we actually get to stay with AZALEA this time and jump straight into Kuuchuu Ren'ai Ron! guess they get special treatment because they never got their subunit live like the other two subunits

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

there are neon circles that appear during certain closeups and moves and it's pretty cool even though it's such a simple AR effect

the real highlight has to be the explosion of little hearts for each arisha closeup though lmao, fucking same

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

wonder what hairspray the hair & makeup team uses on the girls because even with this dancing (not super intense, but still) their bangs look picture perfect lol

right after that, we jump into Maze Sekai! okay kids it's clap clap time~

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

the long skirt-thingy they got going on with their outfits looks really cool when they spin for the choreo in this song because it fans out all colorful-like

ooh they each get a mini dance solo during the short instrumental break before the 2nd half of the song!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

..........oh my GOD IS THIS THE CYAZALEA KISS VIDEO

IT'S CYAZALEA KISS HOLY FUCK

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

ASKDUFVALUXIFDYFOANDF THEY'RE WEARING THE CYAZALEA KISS OUTFITS

ARISHA EVEN HAS THE FUCKING CROWN ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

OKAY I WAS REALLY CONFUSED BECAUSE WE CUT TO THEM STANDING IN A PLACE THAT IS CLEARLY NOT THE LIVE STAGE FOR A FEW MOMENTS...and then i remembered that parts of the live are prerecorded lol, oh so this is how they're using the footage. interesting!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

lmao hiichan is livetweeting too...go follow her tweets, they're probably a lot more interesting than mine xd

she went all "HUH????????" at the beginning of CYAZALEA KISS haha

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

......oh my god no no no NO

it's the backstage footage from their first live with anchan's leader speech

then we get a highlight reel of 1L...god no NO I DID NOT ASK FOR THESE FEELS AT 3:40 IN THE MORNING FUCK OFF

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

THAT CLOSEUP OF RIKYAKO'S FACE AS SHE PLAYS PIANO DURING OMOHITO IS NOT HELPING

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

bgm for the 1L footage is aojump (TV edit perhaps?) btw, likely their live audio too!

then of course we jump straight to HPT footage with live audio from 2L being overlaid onto a 2L highlight reel, oh god i'm ahdfnasndfvl;asdfasd HELP TOO MUCH FEELS

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

the 3L highlight reel features not Wonderful Stories as I expected (the title song for the live), but MIRACLE WAVE!

the audience cheers in the 3L live audio during the flip...

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

4L (sailing to the sunshine) uses MIRAI TICKET as the audio! Probably the best choice to make here actually, since this is the concert where they debuted the Aqours ship-

oh GOD THEY INCLUDED THE ANCHAN/AINYA KISS FOOTAGE IN THE HIGHLIGHT REEL ARE YOU KIDDING ME

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

THE CLOSEUP OF FURIRIN AND RIKYAKO CRYING DURING THE 4L ENCORE ALSO IS NOT HELPING

MY FEEEEEEEELS

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

5L features Brightest Melody! Again, very fitting as this was the "final" song for Aqours (at least according to the anime/movie timeline) and overall one of the highlights of 5L among all the other great songs in the setlist~

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

.........? wtf katotatsu and the uranohoshi orchestra? with plexiglass barriers?

wait WHAT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE 6TH LIVE TOUR OPENING THEME??????

WHAT THE FUCK NOOOO WE COULD'VE HAD THIS LIVE IF IT WASN'T FOR COVID-19 ARE YOU FOR REAL

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

now we're getting splash screens of the aqours (2D) members in their fantastic departure outfits!

...there was a loading screen that showed "perfect world...loading...lost" and the same for 6L lmao...rip;;;

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

all 9 of them are on a big cart vaguely shaped like a whale and in the fantastic departure outfits!

not much room for them to do particularly big dance moves (think aqours ship), but the choreo is still pretty cool!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

okay if them being on a huge cart that is definitely in some kind of other venue wasn't a clue that this was prerecorded, the jump cuts to them suddenly being off the cart definitely would let you know lol

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

holy fuck the whale is actually covered in LED screen...thingies...idk what it is...so it can change colors and stuff during the song

it lit up in bright (UO) orange for the chika solo at the climax!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

the sparkly blue outfits for fantastic departure and the deep red lipstick they use here really does give it a kpop feel lol

oh, MC section! they say they can see the comments! so uh...hm...this venue with the whale cart is the actual live footage portion?

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

even with the prerecorded portions the sound guys are still struggling lol, i can hear them breathing very clearly

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

anchan quickly lets each subunit briefly have their moment in the spotlight as they go over the first part of this online live - right now we're at azalea and of course we're spending extra time on them!

the comments seem to be saying their outfits are cute!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

they let ainya do a "it's been 1 year and 4 months~" in the style of NINENBURIDESU lol

oh my god they added a blinking eye to the whale cart (who is officially referred to by the girls as poepoe of course haha)

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

introducing the fantastic departure outfits, starting with the hat trio! kinchan, rikyako, and arisha! nice of the camerman to give us a split screen here as a closeup~

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

next trio is the bare midriff trio (lol) - aikyan, shukashuu, ainya!

though their midriffs aren't showing that much unless they actively raise their arms

but of course shukashuu shows off her a lot~

ainya actually has a mini bun instead of a hairloop!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

final trio is furirin, anchan, suwawa - long sleeves + skirt!

furirin says that ruby's a bit more grownup here because she has black hair ribbons lol

they point out the gradation (ombre...color fading thingy) on the skirts as cute too!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

member c&rs now, starting with aikyan as usual! we're moving through them pretty quickly...

of course, we get kinchan and anchan doing the riko-chan sandwich as usual~

anchan tells us to make sure to write MI-KA-N in the comments for hers!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

okay yeah these are seriously high speed c&rs

suwawa air-hugged shukashuu and they lightly joked about social distancing;;

arisha's c&r was probably the longest thanks to her getting a bit more time to joke around with the buu buu desu wa~ portion

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

...? they let aikyan introduce the next song so does this mean OH YES YES YESSSSSS

DEEP RESONANCE

(...the hissing sound when they inject smoke into the stage is really distracting lol why is it so loud)

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

they're still wearing their fantastic departure outfits for deep resonance and are at the same place, so this is live! poepoe gets lit up in flashing red colors in speeds as needed for each part of the song.

...oh my god that kinchan vibrato was a work of art

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

the girls line up and do a mini dance solo at the instrumental climax!

we also get a nice summoning circle screen effect for the yoshiko solo!

thank you again @ cameraman for the shukashuu focus during her super-fast spin, truly we are blessed

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

AIKYAN SCREAM WAS

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

after a fade to black, we then jump into aqours pirate desire with the girls each holding black flags with a unique aqours logo on it (the aqours logo A with a nautical decoration) -

OKAY NO THAT CLOSEUP OF SHUKASHUU'S IKEMEN DANCE PERFORMANCE FACE IS UNFAIR!!!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

there are flag holders in the stage right behind them where they place the flags right after the beginning of the song (they wave them around for a bit during the slow portions of the song)

lots of blue & orange flashing on poepoe!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

is this a you center song? shukashuu seems to be the dance center here and

okay WTF when did she get on top of poepoe

HOLY SHIT SHE'S SPINNING AROUND A HUGE FLAG LIKE A BOSS

WHY IS SHE SO COOL WTF

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

they have aqours pirate desire kept on as the bgm as each of the girls take their flag and...strut down a red carpet? ???? what is this....

oh wait what this is cool each of them gets a closeup moment

anchan spun that flag around so quick & fierce ssg ikemen~

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

SHUKASHUU OF COURSE GETS THE LAST MEMBER FOCUS AND HAS THE MOST SMUG/IKEMEN FACE AS SHE SPINS AROUND THAT HUGE FLAG

we then cut to them back on the Perfect World-decorated stage for wake up challenger, still in the fantastic departure outfits!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

ouch, sww kind of dropped the ball on her solo... well, it's a live so what can you do;;;

kind of disappointed that we didn't get the SIFAS WUC outfits for this song (pretty sure i would've combusted if they did come out wearing those), but this is fine too!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

pretty sure this song is gonna rise to the ranks of daydream warrior in terms of how fun it is to watch - oh my god the hopping around and the big shukashuu grin during this last chorus wtf

cute! CUTE!!!!! ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

fade to black, and a closeup of the "ONLINE LOVELIVE! LOST WORLD" logo for a while

then we fade in to a REALLY CLOSEUP VIEW OF THE GIRLS PRESUMABLY CIRCLED AROUND A CAMERMAN??? EXCUSE ME @ UNIVERSE PLS LET ME BE REINCARNATED AS THIS CAMERMAN IN MY NEXT LIFE

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

anchan thanks us all for watching this online live and we get a close up with each girl - next song is kimikoko! it's so cool how we can see the girls up close like this, really makes you feel like no.10...

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

tbh i found this the most interesting part of the live so far, seeing the girls' backs as they go into formation for kimikoko gives you the sense that you're actually on stage with them and sending them off after doing the aqours circle-up...

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

they're still wearing their fantastic departure outfits btw!

also, no leapfrog wtf...they opted to just pass by the camera doing iconic poses (like ganbaruby). guess this makes sense with the smaller stage size here? even though this is a prerecorded segment...

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

they thank us and the screen fades to a picture of aqours written in the sand while comments are presumably shown in real time! we also get audience audio of the "a-ku-a" encore calls (is this from 5L perhaps? considering how disorganized it sounds lol...)

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

...soooo are we not getting an encore sp meter like nijigaku or

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

guess not lol

we jump into jimo-ai dash! the og jimo ai pair (aikyan and shukashuu) do an adlib at the beginning thanking us for the encore calls!

still wearing the fantastic departure outfits...i half-expected them to be wearing t-shirts so this is new lol

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

we get cool screen effects for each duo/trio combination - each member logo along with a neon color border!

actually even more than the lack of a t-shirt, i'm disappointed by the lack of the iconic baggy socks from their dance mv lmao

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

by the way, for this song we have guurinpa (aikyan, anchan, arisha) on the top portion of the stage (right in front of the screen) with the rest of aqours on the main stage!

also we got the aqours chibis from the SIFAS training camp featured on the screen lmao

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

???? announcement????

anchan jokes about there being no kin~ kon~ announcement bell because it's an online live, then she gets ainya to summon the sound instead with her SHITTO FAIYA~ lol

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

oh, SIFAC is gonna be a PS4 game????

SIFAC "wai wai home meeting"?

lol featuring square enix, nice

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

2nd announcement: 5th anniversary exhibit ~Pieces of Aqours~ from 12/23/2020~1/7/2021 at Numazu

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

.....why couldn't they make SIFAC a switch game, why tf does it have to be ps4... :((((((

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

anchan says this next song is really their final song! we even get audience audio of the "EHHHHHH??" lol...

we close with aozora jumping heart!

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

they're still in their fantastic departure outfits...is this the longest we've seen aqours wearing the same outfit in a live lol

biggest benefit to online live: complete silence during the aojump climax, my ears are finally blessed :^)

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

social distancing so they air grab hands instead of actually holding hands for the encore bow

and WHY ARE WE GETTING THE CYAZALEA KISS BGM FOR THE ENCORE LMAO THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF BGM I WANT FOR A FAREWELL

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

we got a unique narration by the cyazalea kiss guy with the typical chuunibyou stuff (STAND UP AGAINST THE DARK, THE LIGHT OF HOPE WILL NOT BE EXTINGUISHED etc etc) at the end btw!

and now we have the QR code with the survey, time to take it~

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

along with the usual age range / gender / location demographic info, the survey also asks me for my occupation

why do they want to know how many office workers get through the suffering of their work day via aqours lol

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

okay, done with survey!

they also asked where you bought merch (such as cds and character goods) before and after COVID-19 forced most of the world into lockdown, interesting...guess they're doing some marketing research here.

#LOSTWORLD_DAY1

thanks for reading this thread and sorry for the disorganization of it all;;; looking forward to day 2 of the stream, which i'll be making a dedicated livetweet thread for as usual!
