how to watch?

• if you live in Japan you can buy a ticket and go watch them in person​
• if you want to watch it online you can do so via a paid live stream susbscription (available even outside Japan)​
• you can wait a few weeks for the performances to pop up at Youtube or bilibili​

where are my favs?

while the line up is "almost" complete they are likely to announce a few more acts, so there is a chance, its worth mention that its pretty packed already so i wouldn't get my hopes high

PARADISES!

Damn that's a hell of a line-up

is an amazing line up!
i think its also the biggest so far? last year there were 80 / 90 groups iirc, but we are already over 100 and with a few more weeks to spare

i do think several major groups are missing, for example no "-46 groups" (maybe because "-48" are already in?)

I'm a bit disappointed to be honest. There are some big acts but not many that I'm interested in.

I noticed that they moved some of the gravure groups (2i2, bababambi) to the main event this year, I wasn't even sure that they released music until I saw 2i2 on Oricon recently.

 

[BianTwo]

That's a lot of groups
