So picking up where the last thread left off, the final word on the latest drama is much the same as the previous ones: Doki's come out doing well if sporting a few new scars, the Dragoons remain as committed as ever, the people responsible for the drama have had their reputations (such as they were) utterly shredded, and the Nijisisters remain (as ever) a bunch of petty pricks.

Here's Mujin with the rundown, which admittedly is a bit long but pretty comprehensive if you want something to kill a bit of time this weekend.

If I had a nickel for every time somebody tried to throw Dolibird under the bus aand ended up losing all their credibility with everybody who wasn’t delusional or a sociopath I’d have two nickels.

Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

I can't link to it, because she privated it immediately, but Doki ran an unarchived stream of her 3D concert from Anime Expo tonight, and it was... amazing. Only about half an hour long, but then she was paying for the whole thing herself. And it's a pretty packed half-hour, I mean, there are costume switches, guest stars, the whole nine yards. With songs in three languages and some really sharp choreo. She said later she only had a month to put the whole thing together, which... no wonder her concert model didn't have any tail feathers. She must've worked them all off.

She finished with an original song that I hope will get its own video in due time, but to me the highlight was the one English-language pop song she chose to cover: "I'm Still Standing".

The girl can dance, I tell you what.

She said in the afterparty stream that she's working on an improved version of the VOD with some of the rendering cleaned up and whatnot, similar to what Hololive did with the 6th Fes VODs, so the fact that this version wasn't archived doesn't mean nobody will ever get to see the show again, for which I am grateful.

A behind the scenes quote also
> "During the concert we had a dragoon pop up and sing a certain part because its SO HARD
> and we needed someone who COULD sing the female voice and hit notes that high
> And so I hit up Shachi and asked if she was down just for the end and she was"

And also more credits
> orgot to mention, huge shout out to dooby, laimu and snuffy for doing last minute chorus backing for party rock !!
> They recorded it for me in a day for the backing tracks !!!
> For those who were wondering who the Right Dragoon was, it might be b6

When I saw another post in this thread I got terrified that Doki was the victim of more Internet Drama again, I'm glad to see this is a positive post.
