Koganei Niko Marks Two Years With a Singing Stream and a Nov. 28 Announcement Date

HOLOLIVE — Koganei Niko of Hololive’s DEV_IS FLOW GLOW marked the second anniversary of her debut on Nov. 9 with a singing stream, and used it to announce that she will hold an event on Nov. 28 that she described as carrying a major announcement. She said the start time would be shared once it was settled and asked fans to put the date in their calendars now.

She opened with “Kaiju no Hanauta” and said she would go nonstop because time was short, moving from one song to the next with little talk in between. Partway through the set she stopped to compose herself, saying she was not crying and that the song was simply too good.

Around the 45-minute mark she sang a song for the first time, one she said she had wanted to perform for a while. Later she called the evening’s hardest song, a cover she said was the first one she posted after her debut, one with no place to breathe, and asked everyone watching to join in. Chat filled with applause emoji and nostalgic comments as she sang it.

After that she gave the announcements. Besides the Nov. 28 event, she said a new cover would be published at 7:05 p.m. that evening, a cover of a song titled “Gekko” (月光). Her first cover after debut and last year’s anniversary cover came before it, and she said a link from the stream would lead viewers to the new video. She called the stream’s long run of songs a vocal warm-up for it.

She closed with a final song, said she would keep going at her own pace in her third year and asked for continued support. A second, short stream followed with one more song. The broadcast drew 93 paid messages, many of them anniversary greetings.
