Weekend Livestream Spotlight: MANACLE Debut, 2&, a NECROMA Birthday and Depression Fest
The latest trend in idol lives is to not announce livestreaming options until the in-person show is sold out.

ZOMBIE POWDER kick off the weekend, sharing the stage with the hardest working unit in chika idol, Dan te Lion and others in the 41st volume of the excellent Diffusion Φ Brightness taiban series.
