For the past twenty six years, still going strong, is Anime Expo, known to many as merely "AX", is an American anime convention that has been held in Los Angeles, California for a good majority of its initial run. This year is no different for the popular convention, one of the largest North American conventions as of 2017! With that said, the convention would yet again return to the Los Angeles Convention Center, and surrounding building's such as the venue Microsoft Theater, along with the hotel JW Marriot among other spots, showcasing numerous events and activities to partake in joining.
Day 0 would begin on the 4th of July, with Day 1 through 4 happening the day after the holiday. Known to many as "pre-show" night or "preview" night, would consist on some activities ranging from some panels, screening's of anime episodes, films, and other area's with games, booth's set up with minor giveaways occurring every now and again.

During the group's performances though, was spent like this, where Aqours would play 3 songs, then take about 20 minutes to talk with the audience, this not being bad but then again it was just a mess and not much of a good set-up. For one the group spoke minor English, with them speaking entirely in Japanese, with an English translator presents, but not being able to translate quickly enough, or not even bothering at all. Plus there were not subtitles provided on screen until towards the end of the performances, with the subtitles provided being in Japanese, as opposed to English. So everything in that sense of the entire concert was as said just a complete mess of a set-up.

Through it all though, Aqour's first official U.S.A. concert, as a full on show with them alone, was good but could have been better, if the subtitles were better suited, as well as the translator provided to give those in the crowd, what was being said as well. As for the other side project acts CYaRON!, Guilty Kiss, and AZALEA, their performances were fair, with Aqours' being decently good, but could have been so much better. Their song list taking such songs as "Mirai no Bokura wa Shitteru yo", "君のこころは輝いてるかい?", and "Yuuki wa Doko ni? Kimi no Mune ni!", among others. Again their side projects, playing a mere 2 songs each performer, had their more recognizable tunes, that the audience knew immediately.
