The 2-day event certainly had its problems, but I would call it a success because it managed to do the things it set out to do, albeit with some opportunities for improvement.

The lack of coordination between departments marred an otherwise successful event.
There was something different about this performance. The girls seem to be more energetic than I remember them being in all the videos I’ve seen. Surely, the effect of actually being in there has a lot to do with that feeling, but the mood, the energy was on another level.
It always makes me happy to know that Filipino AKB fans have a way of making every member feel special. The fans cheered at all the girls like they’re all superstars.
This event is organized by the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines and produced by Hallohallo Entertainment Inc (the people behind the upcoming AKB48 sister group, MNL48). It features two idol groups, a cosplay competition, and much, much more.
