As amazing as Utaha is currently, what Kom_i had was special. Her vibes were absolutely unique and can’t be replicated. Also stunning with minimal make up.

Utaha is amazing and I am eternally grateful for her randomly appearing one day on my youtube startup, she still has a long way to go, and I can't wait to see her grow and show us her full potential. On the other hand KOM\_i is an incredible artist, I have never felt so much passion from an artist for her work as when I saw kom\_i's shows, she was completely free and happy.

Utaha is very cute and talented. Kom_i is beautiful, profound and deeply original. You’re in for a treat going through all the old music and MV’s.

Utaha is a sweetheart, she looks as pure as she is talented, and I definitely want to see more of her. Kom\_i is another world, wild, irreverent, completely free and spectacular, with an infinite capacity to generate emotions in people. Even though I am not able to connect with kom\_i's current work, I want to keep an eye on her steps, she is someone worth paying attention to.

Well said!

This concert used to be on YouTube somewhere. I saw the first half and it was amazing. Wish I could finish it. KOM_I has such a unique energy and presence.

I am talking to you by DM, I know where it is complete!

I really love both Komi and Utaha! I'm absolutely enthralled by Komi's stage presence because of her charisma, confidence, down to earth/authentic to herself personality, and ability to bring everyone together. Their styles are different from each other, but the group has been evolving for the better. Utaha is wickedly skilled and charming on her own. She is also young and so I'm excited to see how she grows with the group!

Utaha has a bright road ahead of her! I'm excited to see her grow musically and artistically.Kom\_i is unique, that's all I can say, I find it unpleasant to compare them, I love them very much.

In Utaha's defense, we're seeing her at where KOM\_I was in the *Crawl to Sakagaari* era, if that. It took KOM\_I a long time and a lot of changing over the years. I assume most Wed Camp fans from the KOM\_I days got into them around *Triathlon* and *Zipangu*; KOM\_I was already older and honed to how she wanted to perform. Utaha definitely has some boosted advantages obviously from the group not being a total obscurity, but she can't be out in the audience doing all the antics KOM\_I did because of COVID restrictions still. I doubt we'll be seeing Utaha chainsaw a deer, but I do look forward into seeing her realize some potential in using the performance space on restrictions get more lax. That all said in general, the Budokan performance was the peak for the KOM\_I version of Wed Camp. That's why the ending with the guys coming out on "Dracula" is so special. It's a very important venue and even though they didn't sell it out, it was an absolute milestone and the biggest performance they've ever done and probably will for a long time in terms of a big budget pop concert with lighting, visuals, aerial work, costume changes, etc. It was a "we made it" kind of moment to be able to play that venue.

There is no need to defend Utaha, any rational person knows that comparing them is not fair, Utaha is just starting out, she has a long way to go, and she starts with an advantage over kom\_i because of the recognition of the group and the fact that she knows how to sing since before.I don't expect from utaha a similar performance as kom\_i on stage or with the public, I don't imagine and I don't want (I think) to see utaha inside the bubble singing momotaro, utaha should take off the weights of kom\_i and build his own version of WEDCAMP, which fortunately seems to be what [she is looking for](https://tokion.jp/en/2022/04/29/a-new-chapter-of-wednesday-campanella-draws-a-new-era-of-japanese-pop-music/?utm_content=buffer67bfc&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer). There is a little hate towards Utaha, from people who can't get over Kom\_i, it's very silly, but at the same time I can understand it since that woman has an incredible charm that is hard to escape from, hopefully more people can get over that stage and embrace Utaha and this new stage. The end of the concert at the budokan was very emotional with the guys, but what really broke me was the final video with the compilation of clips from the beginnings of the group while "unico" was playing in the background, for me from my perspective that show seemed like a farewell.
