3. Time, number of people, and the environment required to prepare for online distribution.

・This program has been organized into two parts and streaming from their own studio. We change from Instagram because of a number of viewers and image quality. Since Twitter has more followers for each member, the number of views increased. When the live-streaming starts, it is also considered that it is displayed at the top of the timeline. And because the image quality is better, the work process is easier to see. Twitter was the best in both the work process and streaming. The problem is that viewers and guests need to use another application “Periscope” for comments or participate. And also, being able to comment easier, It will be a factor to increase core fans.
・Media: Periscope or Twitter live-streaming.

・Basically personal organization: 3 MC and 1 guest.
・Live-streaming held every day from 20:00-22:00 for 2 hours.
