On July 31, 2016, female artist ChouCho's live concert "ChouCho 5th Anniversary Akosuteitokubu ~Ryocho Matsuri~" was held. Many fans came to the venue, shibuya duo MUSIC EXCHANGE, to celebrate her 5th anniversary. Akiba Research Institute reports on the daytime performance, which was a great success. Please feel the atmosphere of this special day, which was filled with cover songs and collaborations with special guests that can only be heard here.

ChouCho's first solo live in a year and a half was so crowded that even the standing room in the back was filled with the audience. Some fans were wearing 5th anniversary T-shirts and muffler towels made in collaboration with "Girls und Panzer," for which ChouCho sang the theme song, and all were anxiously waiting for the show to start.

After the scheduled time had passed and the venue went dark, a variety of songs released over the past five years were played on guitars and violins. The venue was filled with warm applause when ChouCho appeared, led by a prelude appropriate for such an acoustic live performance. She was dressed in a pure white one-piece dress, which contrasted vividly with the black costumes of the backing band.

Her debut song "Kawarumirai" opened the 5th anniversary live. Sitting on a chair, ChouCho sang each lyric carefully. The second song was "Sleeping Butterfly," a coupling song for which she wrote the lyrics. The second song was "Sleeping Butterfly," a coupling song for which he wrote the lyrics, and which was performed aggressively with the fans clapping their hands.

ChouCho said, "I was really looking forward to this day. I hope you can relax and enjoy the show to the end." Fans congratulated the band on their 5th anniversary. He also said that he wanted to challenge himself to do something different from usual for the anniversary live, and confessed that one of the things he wanted to do was to solicit cover songs. The audience was surprised to hear that more than 150 songs had been requested in advance. In the afternoon session, he selected "Platinum," a song that had received many requests. The song was one of Maaya Sakamoto's best-known songs, which she often sang even in her indie days, and she captivated the fans.

In the following MC session, she revealed her musical history leading up to her debut. She said her father had been playing guitar for as long as she could remember, and music had been a part of her life since she was four years old. He formed his first band when he was in high school. "My first performance was at a high school festival," he said, looking back on his youth with a nostalgic expression on his face.

He also said that under the influence of his band members, he listened not only to ani-songs but also to Western music. So for the second cover song, ChouCho decided on "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette, a Canadian female singer who is a favorite of ChouCho's. The song is a powerful and powerful song that roared throughout the live music venue. With her powerful voice roaring throughout the live house, she showed a different side of her.

Producer Junnosuke Sato of Lantis took the stage as a guest player in the middle of the live performance. The surprise appearance by the man who discovered ChouCho on Nico Nico Douga was an exciting surprise. Sato praised ChouCho's singing voice, saying, "Even though it was in a high key, it came out very beautifully and had a pure feeling," which led to her major label debut. When ChouCho learned the reason, she looked a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you very much.

The two chose "secretgarden," the title track of their second album, a remixed version of a song that ChouCho wrote the lyrics for for the first time and created together with Sato. Sato looked nervous, saying, "It's been eight years since I played the piano in front of an audience, so I'm anxious," but his impressive piano performance was applauded.

The audience cheered her on with her masterful piano performance. The next song is going to be really exciting, so I hope you can stay seated," he asked the audience. ChouCho called out to the audience, and they all stood up. The audience sang "DreamRiser," the opening theme song of "Girls und Panzer" and "piece of youth," the theme song of the movie version, in succession, illuminated by the green psyllium waved by the fans.

ChouCho talked about "Girls und Panzer: The Movie," expressing her joy, "I was able to fulfill my dream since my debut to sing the theme song for the movie. She mentioned that some theaters are still showing the movie more than half a year after its release and expressed her gratitude, saying, "I am so happy to sing the theme song for such a much-loved work. In the end, they sang "kagami," "Asterism," and "starlog" from the "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya" series in three consecutive songs and left the stage to loud cheers.

For encore, she appeared again in yukata (summer kimono). The red and white flower pattern and yellow obi were cute, and the stage was filled with a refreshing atmosphere typical of the "Ryoucho Matsuri" festival. She also tried her hand at acoustic guitar, which had been a goal of hers for some time. She also announced that she would try her hand at storytelling on her live tour starting in October, and expectations for her future activities are growing.

During the finale MC, she revealed her feelings: "I have dreamed of becoming a singer since I was a child, but my singing voice is not unique and my character is very ordinary, so I sometimes wondered what I would be like as an artist. But I realized that because I don't have my own color, I can be dyed in the colors of any anime. I will continue to do my best to bring out the best of various anime." When he expressed his determination, fans applauded enthusiastically.

For the last song, she sang "Yuushisa no Riyuu", the OP theme of the TV anime "Hyouka". After finishing the song, she greeted the audience with a live voice without a microphone, "Thank you very much! and closed the daytime session.
