HIMEHINA Stage Director Gohgo Says He Staged the 2015 Nico Nico Cho Party Vocaloid Break
The interview ties one lineage together: the concert language used for Vocaloid character shows and the concert language used for virtual YouTubers, with several of the same people still on the staff.
Reporting from 1 source: PANORA.
Gohgo, who writes, composes, and directs the total stage production for the virtual artist duo HIMEHINA at Studio LaRa, told PANORA in an interview that he handled Nico Nico Cho Party stage direction from 2012 to 2016. He said viewers of HIMEHINA's October 4 grand finale compared its glass-break staging to a 2015 Cho Party moment he made with an MMD team.
The comparison appeared in viewer comments before it appeared in the interview. After HIMEHINA's grand finale on October 4, people watching the free stream said the moment where the glass breaks during "Hibikase" looked like something from Nico Nico Cho Party, and that a HIMEHINA show plays like a Vocaloid show.
Gohgo said the resemblance is not a coincidence. He directed Cho Party stages, Vocaloid shows included, from 2012 to 2016, and built the glass-break entrance with an MMD team. He said music director Tetsuya Oyama has worked with him from then to now.
