Absolutely fucking incredible Day 1, but I'm admittedly a bit biased because they did a ton of my all time favorite songs. Maybe I'll do a writeup on my thoughts later but it was really fucking great. Also, I'm like 99% sure I mingled with people from here just based on the way they talked. I can't prove anything but I'm on to some of you, but I mainly came here to talk about:

The NEI pamphlet has actually has a message from Takagi that honestly sounds a little bleak regarding the future of AS stuff: he essentially says that a "never end idol" isn't an idol that is always singing, dancing, etc., but rather an idol that no longer is your usual singing and dancing idol, but has been able to permanently leave a mark on history.
A more positive case scenario would be that the MR live stuff is going to "take over" as the main live events for AS but the current rate of AS lives (once every couple of years) will hold up for at least a few more performances, essentially just meaning more AS lives compared to the past decade. Remember, AS lives already fucking screeched to a halt following their 10th anniversary, with there literally only being three when ignoring smaller events like P meetings:
>2018: Hatsuboshi
>2022: Sunrich
>2025: NEI
They could easily slip in half a dozen MR lives between each actual seiyuu live if they really wanted to. A less ideal scenario would be that MOIW 2025 is it, but I do feel inclined to believe that there will be at LEAST one more in-person AS seiyuu live given how NEI is very deliberately not being labeled as a "finale" live in the same vein as a lot of other 2D idol series (Love Live, Macross, etc.). It's hard to say but age is finally starting to catch up to some of them, particularly Kami. I don't know if it was on camera for you guys but she had to totally keel over for a bit just to breathe in the middle of some performances like she did at HP2.
