◆A dream vacation at “hololive Island”!
This year's theme for “hololive SUPER EXPO”, which will be held for the third time this year, is“hololive Island”.
“hololive Island” is a mysterious island where the female and male talents of Hololive Productions spend their daily lives, and although there are usually only islanders there, we have decided to welcome tourists for two days to show our gratitude. This is the setting.
The venue is roughly divided into five areas.

In addition, at the first “hololive SUPER EXPO” held in 2022, there will be an exhibition of real costumes of all the talents of “Hololive” and “Holostars” who were enrolled at the time, “Hololive Shrine” where fortunes were distributed free of charge, There were booths where visitors could participate, such as the “Hololive Court'' and “Holo Fortune Telling Hall,'' as well as a booth that recreated the office that appears in the anime video project “Hologura.''
The 2nd “hololive SUPER EXPO” held in 2023 has an updated exhibition content from the first one, and mainly popular distributions such as “hololive athletic meet”, “hololive kindergarten”, “hololive summer 2022”, etc. The attractions are mainly based on the image of the project.

It is great here! “hololive SUPER EXPO 2023” Field Report[All handwritten messages included, 222 photos]| Inside
The event “hololive SUPER EXPO 2023” was held at Makuhari Messe on March 18th and 19th. We will be reporting from the field about Hololive Production's largest event with a stage and exhibition!
The previous two “hololive SUPER EXPO” had booths with a focus on reality, and many projects where you could experience the distribution content, and the main concept was to experience Hololive production firsthand, but this year, we decided to jump to “hololive Island”. Each booth was set up with a theme. The content was interesting and focused on situations that had never been seen before.
In addition, the previous two “hololive SUPER EXPO” had long lines and paid stages, but this year it seems that each booth has been adjusted to reduce congestion and allow more visitors to enjoy the event, so anyone can feel free to participate. The exhibits centered around fun photo spots that stood out.
At last year's “hololive SUPER EXPO 2023”, the popular booth “Hololive Art Fest”, where visitors had to wait in line, changed to free entry on the second day, so we prioritized the benefits for visitors and decided to adapt as needed. It appears that it is compatible with . Although some exhibition booths that were expected to be crowded required numbered tickets, this year we were able to cover all the booths without waiting in long lines, making it a highly satisfying event. It's typical of Hololive that they are close to their fans.
In addition, there were many cases where visitors were voluntarily forming a line while giving way to each other for exhibition spaces that originally did not have a waiting line. I was able to give up my space to a fan in the crowded exhibition booth by saying, “Would you like to take a photo? Please go first.'' I was impressed by how not only a fun but friendly space it was.
◆Aim!Handwritten “doodle” complete
At the 1st “hololive SUPER EXPO”, the real costumes of all the talents were exhibited, and at the 2nd “hololive SUPER EXPO”, there was a lot of content to be introduced each time, such as “art festivals” created by each talent and handwritten messages at the ceremony gate. This is a difficult event.
This year, there are no such elements and you can easily compile your manuscript! That's what I thought, but when I actually went around the venue, my face immediately turned pale. This year, there will be “graffiti'' handwritten by the artists all over the venue, and it will be fun to find them.
Not only the autographs and messages written on the life-sized panels of each talent, but also the message board at the “HOLOBLUE RAiNYSKY” booth and the message board near the entrance gate. What's more, there are messages written on even the most ordinary posters and exhibits, so it's all worth seeing!
There are cases where you can find something by looking for it, and there are cases where you find something while checking the photos you took and realize, “I found it in a place like this!'' Probably no one knows all the “graffiti”… It was so huge that it was scattered throughout the venue.
If so, I would like to capture it on camera and introduce it as much as possible!
To be honest, I don't know if I was able to complete it or not, and it's extremely difficult to take photos in a crowded venue without disturbing those around you. It's hard to say that I was able to photograph every single piece of graffiti, but I did my best to photograph as much as possible.
Please note that the photos included in this article are not displayed on some news sites due to specifications. Please see the publication source, Inside.
◆Introducing each exhibition booth!
[Hololive Summer 2023 (Town Area)]
This is the largest space during this event, and Hololive's female talents will be showing off their glamorous swimsuits! Located in the center of the town area, surrounding this booth were the “HOLOBLUE RAINYSKY” booth and the “hololive x Honeyworks Horohanigaoka High School” booth. In addition, as a feature of the theme song “Seishun Archive” of “Hololive Summer 2023”, an exhibition of the original drawings used in the MV of “Seishun Archive” will be held. It attracted the attention of visitors.
[Town bus (town area)]
A booth modeled after a bus stop where retro-style wagon buses would transport islanders. On the day of the island's festival, this wagon bus starts moving by itself at midnight…? Nearby, Laplace Darkness, Koyori Hiroi, and Crowe Sahana were also seen wearing aloha shirts.
[HOLOBLUE RAiNYSKY (Town Area)]
“Once a year, there is a day when it rains while it is sunny.On that day, it is always sunny and there are raindrops floating in the sky.
The islanders celebrated this mysterious day by holding a festival called the Amagasa Festival.
Umbrellas were used as containers to catch the rain, and were decorated with various decorations to entrust wishes. The sight of the town decorated with hydrangeas continues to fascinate visitors.
The umbrellas are decorated with various decorations for the islanders, and are said to contain the feelings of the islanders, such as things that they like and things that represent their wishes.
During the actual Amagasa Festival, a shrine maiden selected from among the islanders wears a white dress-like costume and performs a dance.
The dance was performed toward the sky in hopes of good harvest and prosperity, and it looked like the petals of a flower were being spread toward the sky. ” (from the explanation panel)
This is the booth that most strongly evokes this year's theme, “hololive Island.” As stated in the explanation on the above explanatory panel, a fictitious festival was set up, and decorations were placed based on that setting. The colorful vinyl umbrellas spread all over your head are magical. You can feel the dedication of the event staff in not only creating the situations, but also considering the detailed settings of the island. It was a fun location to take photos.
In addition to the handwritten messages written by Hololive's female talents, a mini-drama was also shown on the monitor inside the booth.
