Haicalive Kyoto Mix

Haicalive Kyoto Mix (ハイカライブ KYOTO MIX) was a pair of virtual live concerts that took place at the Nintendo Live 2019 event in Kyoto, Japan on 2019-10-13 and 2019-10-14. They are based off of previous Splatoon concerts. The main act lasted for approximately fifty minutes, the longest yet for the Splatoon franchise. K.K. Slider from the Animal Crossing series also served as the opening act. While the setlist was the same between the two concerts, the dialogue portions were different.

Background
These concerts were originally announced on 2019-08-01. They took place in the Annex Hall of the Kyoto International Conference Center. There was one performance each day. The first performance was originally scheduled to start at July 27, 2024 before being delayed twenty minutes due to another event ending later than scheduled. The second performance on the following day was already pushed to July 27, 2024 as a result of the schedule for Nintendo Live 2019 being changed in anticipation of Typhoon Hagibis, but ended up being held a few minutes past July 27, 2024. There was a lottery system to determine who would be able to attend the concerts in person.

The concerts were live streamed on Niconico and YouTube for those who were not able to see the performance in person. Viewers were invited to comment on the Niconico livestream, but unlike previous Japanese concerts, these comments were not displayed at the concert itself. The stage where the 5thSplatoon Koshien regional tournament for the Kinki region took place also held viewing parties for those who were not able to get in the venue. Merchandise from all previous concerts were sold for this event in limited quantities.

Comparison to previous concerts
Most of Off the Hook's set was based off of their previous "Tentalive" concert held earlier in the year, while the Squid Sisters' set was based off of their appearances at Niconico Cho Party 2016 and previous "Haicalive" concerts held throughout 2018.

However, in addition to the opening act and some new animations, other new elements were brought in as well:


 * Splattack! was performed for the first time at a hologram concert.
 * Both Off the Hook and the Squid Sisters wore different colored versions of their outfits. They began wearing the normal variants of their outfits from the beginning of Fresh Start.
 * Off the Hook performed a Shark Bytes/Nasty Majesty medley to start their act. They also only wore variants of their casual outfits until the last portion of Ebb & Flow (Octo), where they have an on-screen quick change into their normal outfits.
 * City of Color was given a longer opening to introduce the Squid Sisters.
 * Callie and Marie join Pearl and Marina for the last portion of Ebb & Flow (Octo), dancing along and cheering until the end.
