This emerging artist uses an anime avatar to communicate online, a familiar characteristic among utaite enthusiasts, and she remains resolute about preserving her anonymity. Throughout the concert, meticulous lighting arrangements made sure her face remained concealed, while strict rules forbade any recording or filming.
