Mio holofes 5 aftertalk, 17-03-2024

>Thank you as always
Mio starts by thanking everyone for their hard work. Mio thinks the event was extremely satisfying and she'll check out everyone's submissions for AsaMio after the stream.

>Holofes/Expo
On Friday, Day 0 of the event, they were allowed to tour and sign on a lot of things for the expo. Mio is shocked at the size of the venue this year, even mentioning again how the seating stretched beyond the horizon, and especially the fact that the whole venue was just one giant floor with no upper levels. There were troubles, of course, like the giant pillars blocking the view and being far away from the active screen, but Mio thought overall they worked it out pretty well.
Mio was amazed by the intensity and vigor of the crowd, it shook her to the core when she was on stage. During stage 2, Mio was placed on the rear end for both her solo and group songs - which made her think Miofa must be wondering when she'll perform. The moment Mio appeared on stage, Mio could feel the accumulated energy from Miofa who have been waiting for her almost tremble the earth. The penlights too, thus far they've been mixed between red and green, leading to the Miofa forest is burning and Christmas color jokes, but this year was overwhelmingly green. Mio wonders if Miofa whispered to the people next to them that Mio's color is green.

>Aspirations
Mio loved how energetic the crowd was and how explosive the reaction was during the last "baka mitai" during Night Loop. Mio expresses how she isn't satisfied with only one solo song and wants to do a sololive. To have been given an extremely supportive and powerful reaction from the crowd, from that many people, despite having been made to wait for so long, struck Mio's heart. Mio wondered how she can repay this favor and thought she won't ever forget this feeling. She's extremely thankful to Miofa and will work even harder from now on, she wants Miofa to feel proud to have supported Mio. Even after having entered her sixth year, Mio still considers herself to have not changed much while others have been moving in leaps and bounds, becoming more skilled and more popular. Mio will keep trying her best, in hopes of one day becoming a part of this group of successful people.

>Delight and Respite
Still tearing up, Mio exclaims she had fun with the event overall. Since her appearance was quite late in the schedule, she had a lot of time to wait and send off everyone, chat around, play cards, eat snacks and meals, and spy on the attendees with the cameras. She also met ID members and gave them snacks. In the break room, she played with quite a few people. Subaru had wanted to play cards so she brought out her deck and played President with Subaru, Pekora and Nene. Mio thought Subaru and Nene were often caught in slumps where they couldn't deal while Pekora played pretty smoothly - Mio thinks Pekora does have an image of being good at games. Halfway through, Polka came in and started backseating Nene for her plays. Then Iroha and Lui came in and played as well; Iroha was in a pretty similar place with Subaru and Nene while Lui was smart in her plays. Mio also played old maid with Botan, Korone and Iroha in another break room, though Iroha didn't stay for long. Mio says to watch Korone's retrospective and ask her what happened when they played old maid.

>MC section
When they were discussing what they were going to do during the MC section, Mio had thought Polka would be the one to tsukkomi and she could freely joke around but in the end, the three played boke with no one to slap them for their jokes.

>Gamers Live Event
Mio begins by asking Miofa if they've followed the twitter account and to please do so if they haven't already, to relieve staff of their worries about the event. As scheduled, Fubuki will reveal more details on the 22nd so Mio won't say much but Mio is excited to perform at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium, it's a big venue. Mio is sure everyone was surprised by the new gamers song suddenly playing in the background when it was revealed. The event itself will be more focused on entertainment as gamers usually does, Mio hopes everyone will look forward to it. Mio is surprised by the reality that the event is barely two months away as there's still a lot to prepare for. Mio states how this year might be a busy year again for her with the live event, no more Spring-Summer break. Despite the rapidly advancing time, Mio is still excited for the event. She wants to bask in the energy that Miofa have given her during holofes again, standing in front of everyone on stage is a wonderful feeling.

Mio doesn't know what awaits her in the future but she'll always carry this memory of Miofa supporting her with her and hopes to be able to give Miofa a reason to be this impactful again, hopefully during her sololive.
