Which will include many new developments and events, like an anniversary logo and artwork, new goods, a live concert, a collab café. And a game project, which would be detailed later on.
Note that more members of theLive A Livedevelopment team shared their excitement for the stream on Twitter. We’ll update this article shortly with translations of their comments.
