This is Arashi LIVE 2020.12.31
OVERVIEW
The last live performance by the biggest Japanese boy band Arashi, held on December 31, 2020 at Tokyo Dome before they went on hiatus. It was the group's first live show broadcast via Johnny's Net Online.
A total of 28 songs were performed in the approximately 3-hour long show, including an XR performance that mixed the real space and virtual space, and an interactive experience that allowed fans to communicate with the band members in real-time.
RESPONSIBILITIES
In order to create a "connection" through the live online distribution, we provided technical direction for the interactive section, which was technically diverse and difficult to realize, including distribution to a very large audience, a unique system to connect with the venue in real-time, a function for viewers to be able to enjoy the show together with other viewers, and a system to reflect viewer contributions to the venue's production.
