Critical reception

Writing for the United Daily News, Tso Kuang-ping described: "There are not many singers who can make such large-scale singing and dancing performance in C-pop industry.

From everyone's reaction and word of mouth, there is no doubt about the good reviews."[33]

gollark: Wait, what if we treat passing/failing proposals as a 1D cellular automaton?
gollark: Oh, and also, pass proposal but translated to Latin, pass proposal 3 days ago, pass proposal *in* 6 days, and randomly reassign all rule numbers.
gollark: It may take a little while to do the necessary votes, but it would be ENTIRELY worth it.
gollark: I think we should use instant runoff voting, with the options to choose between being pass proposal, fail proposal, revote proposal but the second most popular option is unavailable, wait 16 hours and then revote, fail proposal but pass its dependents instantly regardless of other rules, crab, pass proposal and next/previous proposals, reclassify proposal as an SCP, pass the proposal but with every second letter removed, pass the proposal but backward, and frog.
gollark: Because I deployed the bees.
