Airly Momoco at HYPER JAPAN, London

Airly Momoco started off her set with the song Fluffy Bunny, getting the crowd to clap along to the slow but upbeat tempo. She made bunny ears with one hand as she sang to the crowd and if the cuteness of this act didn't win the crowd over, her strong, lasting vocals in the next song Contrast most certainly did. The ballad pulled on the heartstrings of the audience as it was met with a round of applause.

The following two songs, Nico Nico and Fuwa fuwa fuwaffu, the most upbeat of the set, proved to have the most crowd interaction. Nico Nico was a very catchy, cheerful and lively song. Airly Momoco seemed quite out of breath by this point, but she still took a moment to thank the crowd and say that she was very happy. Her tiredness from the last song did nothing to stop her enthusiasm in the next, Fuwa fuwa fuwaffu. She was still jumping and clapping, getting to all points of the stage at once, and the crowd returned her enthusiasm by actively participating in chanting the choruses with even a few people dancing at the front.

It was no wonder that, after all that excitement, Airly Momoco had to take a moment to catch her breath and drink some water before continuing on to her final song of the night, Merci Merci. This was another slow but upbeat song, similar to Fluffy Bunny, but all in all, it made an enjoyable and happy way to end the night.

Airly Momoco constantly thanked the crowd in between songs. She was very gracious and made many attempts to interact with the crowd with the limited English she knew, trying her hardest to communicate. At the end of the night she thanked the crowd again and went on to say that she was happy to see everyone and thanked everyone for supporting her with a deep, respectful bow. A translator then spoke on her behalf, explaining that she had just come to the end of her European tour and that she was really pleased that she had got to perform, thanking HYPER JAPAN for this opportunity and also the fans for all their support. Finally, she asked the crowd to come together for a big group photo as a final goodbye.
