So they're really positioning themselves for a live event. Promoting is a start I guess but it's really up to the group to show what they've learned.

As for their performance together, they're on the right track. Everyone looks like they're trying very hard to put on this show.

This anime is so weird. Or rather, the story. A debut live is such a milestone, and here we have these guys just deciding on it and getting to it within a single episode........ And not one of them can get a single person to attend, because everyone's every single friend/acquaintance/familymember has other things to do? I mean, I guess it's no surprise when it's so haphazardly scheduled and thrown together... but then again, I don't think we even got much of a sense of how much time passed by here. Either way, even Banri, who literally just agreed to join them last time we saw them, and who's somewhat of an internet sensation couldn't use that fame of his to get people to attend a debut? Or what about the university, couldn't advertise and spread the word at all? Wataru's brother, iirc, a musician himself, and their relationship has to be so bad he couldn't at all reach out to him? Come the hell on.... And then Ren's very last minute idea manages to snatch a single customer, a total random stranger literally off the street, from which(?) they snag an entire opening act for what's apparently a rather famous band itself? Yeeeeeeeah, just.... no. I'm sorry. I do like these characters, I know it's all rather idealised, but this just breaks the very basics of common sense realism on soooooo many levels, it's just bad.

Actually when I read several years ago about this business model that newbie in music industry has to bring their own audience I'm very shocked, no matter if you're rocker, dj, idol, acoustic, etc. I always thought that the newbie already get a payment from venue or organizer. I think this business model is not popular in my country yet but it's standard in western and japan.

Even I knew beforehand I'm still shock with this episode. It's not a happy-go-lucky story afterall. But I don't know why Wataru seems calm when he knew he'll be the opening act of his brother band, maybe he doesn't know his brother is in Gyrogalaxy-something? Yuto seems much more surprised.

Honestly, this episode just teaches a lesson about reality. Not every musician is an instant sensation. To throw together a debut concert without any advance preparation, and expecting success and popularity is not going to happen. It's also true that if you advertise, it doesn't guarantee people will attend.

welp the "no one arrived at the first concert" segment has been fulfilled. Have to say, everyone cancelling their arrival seemed pretty susp →_→



actual song was pretty good ngl, so already way ahead of original BanG Dream
