Mio birthday live retrospective, 22-08-2024
>pre-talk
Mio started preparations for the live on February. Mio's happy to be able to gather this many people and grateful to every single one for accepting her invitation. Last live was mainly her originals with the simultaneous release of her album and this time she wanted to do a cover live. She wanted to perform songs that she doesn't sing much, songs Miofa wanted but she hasn't sung much of, and popular songs in general.

>Medley
Despite the fact that Mio was doing a cover live, Mio still wanted to sing her originals so she decided to sing three songs in a medley at the beginning.
The initial draft of the stage was a lot more urban so staff-san put in more greenery. Maybe to fit with Mio's tastes.

>晴る
Mio notes that she has her usual members for the live but couldn't get Ayame or Subaru. Out of the guests, Watame, Pekora, Marine and Polka were out of the ordinary.
As for why Mio had Towa sing 晴る, Mio wanted to contrast the usual cool songs she does with Towa. Mio felt her repertoire has grown with the songs she's selected for this live.

>Mela!
Mio likes how the instruments only start after the first line. The lyrics mention about wanting to become a hero, a hero would extend their hand. Even though Mio and Polka don't collab much, Polka went out of her way to take over morning streams when Mio was hospitalized and making OhaMio trend even without Mio. Polka going out of her way made Mio feel like Polka's her hero.

>じょいふる
Hatotaurus stole the spotlight. Mio felt the song was perfect for the energetic Korone and also cute for Watame so why not get both to liven it up. Mio also couldn't stop laughing at the big Miofa shaking wildly to move the towels with their tiny limbs.

>グッバイ宣言
Mio notes how short the skirts are on the JK uniforms and how the bare legs might satisfy some people's fetishes. Mio thinks the uniform really fits Pekora. Mio likes Pekora's high voice so she picked グッバイ宣言 for her and also because the song's about becoming a hikki. Mio almost couldn't sing it with how high it was.

>ダーリンダンス
Mio's wanted to sing the song with Fubuki for a while. Mio states FubuMio will always be present in her lives. Mio really likes the ちゅ Fubuki does during the song, Fubuki really put her heart into it. It's barely visible but Mio had actually adjusted the crowd to make a heart when the penlight shines. Mio wonders if the cameraman has an ass fetish with how they filmed Fubuki and Mio.

>美少女無罪パイレーツ
The song was really famous and Mio wondered how far she could take the Marine impression so she picked it. Much to her surprise, she didn't feel like she sounded similar to Marine and she kept returning to normal voice while singing. Marine's voice is really special, Mio still has much to learn.

>東京シャンディランデヴボゥ
Mio got the idea to sing this song from when Mio, Okayu, and Korone (Subaru but couldn't make it) went on a glamping-like trip walked to a konbini at night while singing the song. It was a countryside so no one was there. Mio thought the song would be easy but it was way harder than she thought.

>Merch
Mio wanted the set to be on the cool side this time around. Mio says the front print on the shirt is actually pretty big. The sacoche bag strap pattern is also woven instead of just being printed. might be small but a lot of holos are also releasing bags so do wear hers alongside the others if possible.
