Before the concert even began, one could feel the tension and excitement filling the venue. Bee-kun and Honey-chan noticed many fans were already testing out their new penlights, while others ran through their lyric books to make sure they knew their favorite songs. Once the lights dimmed, suspenseful music began to play, and everybody focused their eyes on the middle of the stage. The first artist on stage was THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS, who performed five of their songs in red military uniform costumes. For those who knew the TV anime THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS, they were able to recognize the songs being performed and also got a small scene of the TV anime, voiced by some of the members.

As THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS walked off stage, the theatre settled down from all the excitement it had just experienced. Meanwhile, Bee-kun and Honey-chan were still trying to catch their breath from all their screaming and singing. However, as Wake Up, Girls! took center stage, the crowd reached a new level of excitement. As the seven members danced in their cute outfits, and performed several of their hits, tons of fans became part of the sea of penlights. Bee-kun and Honey-chan were left speechless, as they saw the crowd thrusted their penlights in the air, all in a perfect and smooth motion.

The next group to take the stage was JUNNA and Minori Suzuki from the tactical unit, Walküre. Unfortunately, not all the Walküre members were there, but JUNNA and Minori Suzuki still managed to rock the house. As they sang their songs from the TV anime Macross Delta, Bee-kun, Honey-chan, and the audience were left in awe from hearing JUNNA hit some amazing notes.

In between songs, JUNNA and Minori Suzuki entertained the crowd by having a small conversation with fans. Now bringing you a Bee-kun and Honey-chan exclusive, Bee-kun and Honey-chan can confirm that ⅖ of Walküre, like In-n-Out burgers. Once the duo reached their final song, Minori Suzuki, who voices Freyja Wion, spoke with the crowd and prepared them to sing “Run ga Pikatto Hikattara.” As everyone sang at the top of their lungs and the venue was covered in penlights, Walküre left the stage and the crowd was ready for the last performance of the night.

Lastly, the group many fans were waiting for; Aqours, from the anime Love Live! Sunshine!! As each member stepped on the stage, Bee-kun and Honey-chan were amazed to see how the sea of penlights would change according to the Aqours members color. For their first song, Aqours performed “Aozora Jumping Heart” while the song’s music video was being played on the big screen. However, one thing that Bee-kun and Honey-chan observed was that the girls were simultaneously dancing the same moves as their anime characters. It was very entertaining to see how each member was able to dance around each other and end each song with a killer pose. For the last song of the night, Aqours performed “Yume Kataru Yori Rume Utaou,” and it left the everyone craving for more.

As the last group of the night left the stage, Bee-kun, Honey-chan, and every fan in attendance was begging for an encore. Like Dr. Seuss once said, “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” But everyone at the Microsoft Theatre still couldn’t believe what had just happened. Fans couldn’t believe they had just seen THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS perform for the first time out of Asia.

Fans couldn’t believe they had just seen Wake Up, Girls! perform in those adorable outfits. Fans couldn’t believe they had just seen a 16 year old JUNNA and Minori Suzuki rock the house with their amazing voices. Fans couldn’t believe they had just seen the full Aqours team perform right in front of their very own eyes. All the performers took the stage once more to thank the fans for their support. And with that, a sold out Anisong World Matsuri ended at the Microsoft Theater.
