Asti Recalls Six Dances a Day in a Rabbit Head at NAMYA Fest

SHINSOUGUMI — Asti, a streamer with Shinsougumi (10Reijou), spent a three-hour late-night stream on Friday looking back at NAMYA Fest, a live fan event Asti performed in alongside two fellow talents.

The event ran in two parts, a daytime show and an evening show, and each included dance numbers, which meant Asti danced six times in one day. Asti said that was a lot for someone with little stamina, and that the rabbit-head costume worn on stage made it harder: the view was poor, breathing was heavy, and the stage lights were hot enough that Asti came off soaked in sweat. Asti said the final dance left them out of breath, and viewers who attended said they could see the mouth hanging open under the costume.

“I really love people who can work hard.” — Asti, on the people around the event

Asti also told of a mishap in the second show’s hero skit. While trying to reveal a villain from under a hood, Asti kicked a prop sake bottle at their feet. It rolled across the stage and knocked over three bottles of water standing in a row, spilling all of them. Asti said they stood stunned, and the audience was stunned as well. Asti also said the event’s segments, including a lotion game, balloon popping and a pose-based vote, were their own ideas.

Chat filled the first minutes of the stream with thanks and congratulations for the event, and 27 Super Chats came in, many of them messages from people who had attended. Viewers traded notes on the personal-item gacha prizes, and during the busiest stretch of the night they commiserated when Asti noticed that none of their own items appeared at the merchandise display.

Asti said they will stop paying for dance and voice lessons from next month and would like to hold a larger event, a solo event, and a second NAMYA Fest, saying that would depend on fans coming. Near the end, Asti thanked the two fellow performers for their effort and said a cosplay cooking stream would follow the next day.
