  1. There will be partially different concert setlists for each of the 3 days of the concert.
  2. The concert requires 50% more CG animation than normal, due to the daily changing setlists.
  3. Something about “old Miku(s) making an appearance” (using old models, perhaps?)
  4. Illustrator APA will be hosting drawing teaching sessions.
  5. There will be an exhibit of Crypton’s “R3” animation technology (a form of real-time motion capture).
  6. An all-new life-sized Miku statue is in production for display at the event.
  7. Mobile and desktop wallpapers can be downloaded after completing questionnaires at the event.
