I've always wondered, how do idol audiences coordinate their various shouts and glowstick colors and gestures? Are there like YouTube videos explaining what to shout when during what songs? And if so, who decides these things?

nah, kado's was much less cool. said child only appears for like 3 minutes of screen time throughout the entire series, and appears to be poochied immediately after she leaves the screen

i guess the thing that makes kado notable to me is that it had a good deal of potential. up until episode 7 or so it seems p philisophical and interesting (though it does make some missteps up to this point, like having an MC shidou who is a master negotiator who never loving negotiates but whatever).

it then goes on to completely squander all of it's potential via a number of tonal shifts through episodes 8-12 that feels like the creators deliberately did whatever they could to spit on its previous potential. we're talking about an anime that goes from "what would happen if higher beings came and gave us technology well in excess of our own?" or at least looking like it's going to analyse that to magic alien waifus and the MC pointlessly, intentionally getting himself killed and having his kid kill the antagonist 3 minutes after his pointless death just to surprise the antagonist (also, this whole tactic was supposed to be negotiation somehow :downsbravo:). also, said kid is literally not mentioned 3 minutes before she kills the antagonist.

usually songs just have really obvious places for the call and responses and gestures that an audience will naturally flock to. As for the glowstick colors, those are generally official but made very obvious by stuff like the coloring of the CDs, the colors of their outfits, etc.

There's technically callbooks too that lists out what to do, but I didn't memorize anything other than vaguely knowing to go from blue to orange in koi no naritai aquarium, and I'm pretty sure only like 30 people knew what to do for Walkure. Despite that, Walkure was one of the big cool moments where everyone in the theater just responded and went to red and purple, which was pretty drat cool. Same with wake up girls, where pockets of people knew to go green, which caused everyone else to go green, and then transition into white in one of their songs.

yeah, part of it also is just that when a few people in a group start doing something, the natural instinct is to go along with it. so only the (relatively) few turbofans have to know the call and responses/transitions/whatever, because everyone else will just go along with it.

That's an interesting thing, though. Despite obviously having some obvious... let's call them "skidmarks", showing that it started in the late 80's, aside from Phantom Blood, most JoJo arcs have stood the test of time fairly well.
