I know most anons here probably didn't watch Kiara's space, so here's a transcript of the relevant part.
43:00
> Gura had a head injury so she couldn't sing
> Kiara was thinking of singing by herself because she thought the panel would be boring if it was just that, but also thought she shouldn't put herself on the center like that.
> Gura might not be singing so she thought she could sing one of Gura's songs to make up for it.
> Thought she might be criticized just for singing her song so maybe she shouldn't do it.
> In the end, audience asked for it so she sang it anyway (Reflect).
46:30
> Originally she wanted to do the panel in actual VR.
> But when she realized she had to do it early in the morning in Japan, she was like "oh fuck that".
> Didn't want to do VR so early in the morning in an unfamiliar environment with the potential for all the tech scuff and stress, didn't want to risk things going wrong and not working.
> So she asked Gura if she was fine with just a Live2D panel (VRchat had said this was fine too). Gura agreed.
> In hindsight, with the head injury, Gura probably wasn't going to do it in VR anyway.
49:05
> Think it's cool that Suisei, Calli and some others have done 3D concerts for conventions, she wants to do that too
> Tried to do that Docomi in Germany but it wasn't an option
50:45
> "ID also did that with Vivid cruise" - chat. "I wants to do something like that too... hellloooo?"
> I'm never gonna get a solo real venue concert so can they at least get me to perform in 3D at a convention?
> That's like the least they could do for me y'know?
> I've just become really pessimistic at this point. I've just realized that there's not gonna be much done. For me.
> I've been fighting really hard to not just get this birthday concert this year (which has been delayed half a year) and she's been insisting on getting an anniversary one too.
> Because it's the third anniversary! We've been here for 3 years, we've never had one anniversary 3D.
> I've been insisting on it since February but I haven't gotten ANYTHING about it.
> So probably not gonna get anything. Also doesn't look much better next year.
> Doesn't seem like I'm gonna get anything like that next year, but I'm gonna continue insisting.
> Because I feel like its only fair that after 3 years of being here and being so patient and working so hard and doing our own thing in the Ame studio, finding out own way of handling things.
> Like.. y'know? The Japanese side gets first year, second year, third year, every year y'know?
> And I've been waiting for 3 years. And 3 years is a lot in this.. business.. company really.
> And 3 years is also such a special number so I'd have really liked to do that.
> But, alas.
> "time to push it early for the 4th year!" - chat
> Nah it doesn't matter how early I push it.. like, I was very early. *sigh*
> When I joined, the oldest gens were around for 3 years.
> Back then they seemed super experienced, like super senpais right?
> So now I'm also super experienced and super senpai, but if.. we just keep on having to do all these things by ourselves y'know?
> It's a bit.. or very, what's the word.. when you get your hopes and dreams crushed *laughs*
> Discouraging, yeah. Disheartening yeah that was the word I was looking for.
> It's everything, all of those words.. frustrating, discouraging, unfair, demoralizing, fuck yeah, all of that.
> But I'm not giving up. I'm not going to give up.
> I want to do the same things that others get to do. At least ONCE.
