The Venus Project Premium Live took place on September 23, 2015 at Tokyo Kinema Club. This was the first Venus Project Live which had all six main members.

The live was scheduled to start at 16:00, and they started letting in at around 15:30. But the elevator was very small, so it took a long time to get in.

They also passed out a Venus Project clear file to everyone as they entered.

Tokyo Kinema Club was much larger than the live houses for the previous lives. The stage was pretty high, so you can see pretty well even from the back. It was all standing, and there were probably 400 to 500 people.

I was number 111, and got a spot on the right side, around 5th row. If the stage was low, I wouldn't have been able to see much, but the stage was high enough.

The event started around 15 minutes late, as Sawako and Marika came onto the stage wearing Halloween costumes (cute witch outfits).

The event flowed as follows.

• opening talk by Sawako and Marika [around 10 minutes]

There was a large screen at the back of the stage, and they showed pictures and the names of the songs on the screen during the songs.

All of the main seiyuu wore the Venus Project T-shirts.

During "Aoi Kaze", at the beginning of the song, Sawako walked down the stairs that was on the left side of the stage. But her shoes (sandals) broke, and she couldn't stand right. So she took off her shoes and sang the song without shoes.

The event ended at around 19:00.

After that there was a cheki photo session with the seiyuu. This was for those who won the right to get their picture taken with the seiyuu in the PS Vita game.

After the cheki photo session, they had the high touch session. This started around 19:35. It seems almost everyone participated at least once. There were probably over 200 people who went multiple times.

I went three times, and left before 20:00. There were still many, many people left.

There were also a few TV cameras at the event. Parts of this live was broadcast on the September 27 broadcast of Venus Project TV .

They started selling the Venus Project character CDs at this event.
