• event report version 0.7 by Hitoshi Doi, 2017.08.14

This was a public broadcast for the new Abema Fresh show by Maeshima Ami, KokoKore . The guest for this first broadcast was Hata Sawako.

I arrived in front of Abema Studio at around 20:50, and there were people lined up across the street. The staff was passing out numbers, and I got number 15.

At 20:57 everyone went in front of the studio window, which had the curtains down. Only those with tickets can stand in front of the window and watch. They lined us up in two rows. I was the last one and stood in the second row, far right.

The curtains went up at 20:58, and Ami was sitting by herself. There were four (or five) cameras in front of the table, of which three (?) were in use.

The Abema Fresh broadcast had a delay of around 10 seconds.

There was a speaker outside so the people can hear the voices. But they also had other music playing pretty loudly, and the sound of the trains (just across the street) was pretty loud.

At 21:30 the staff switched the rows, so I was able to go to the front row, very far right.

After the broadcast ended, Ami walked close to the window, and waved goodbye to the fans as the curtains were going down.
