#aqours first live
for everyone that didn’t go to the second day of the live and is currently very confused about what happened, i talked to a bunch of people and read the twitter updates and according to that:
Rikyako(riko) plays the piano for Omoi yo Hitotsu ni Nare. It went really well during day 1 but.. didnt quite go as planned during day 2. She missed a couple of notes during the beginning, then messed up at the glissando. and because she was still wearing her mic everyone could hear her sobbing and saying a lot of ‘gomenasai’s. they had to cut the performance short. Anchan(chika) was the first to bolt up the stairs to comfort her, Ainya(mari) following close, telling her ‘daijoubu’.
at some point, Suwawa(kanan) and Ainya(mari) were beside Rikyako while Anchan(chika) brought her a water bottle and a towel to wipe her tears while Shuka(you) tried to calm down the rest. Aikyan(yoshiko) also ended up crying with Rikyako. but the audience was so supportive too! everyone was chanting Rikyako’s name and changed their kingblades’ color to pink (riko’s color) to show their support for Rikyako;;;
after Rikyako calmed down, they restarted Omoi yo and it went flawlessly (altho you can still rikyako crying in the mic while playing). Omoi yo ends with a close up to Rikyako and you can see her hands shaking as she hits the last note. Mattete Ai no Uta played after this (something that didnt happen during day 1) and most of the kingblades still stayed pink.
i should really also note that before this, iirc, it was only suwawa with any piano experience. rikyako actually learned how to play so she can do this for omoi yo. please don’t be angry or disappointed at rikyako for messing up, she really did her Best and worked super hard for this.
