The roar of applause that filled ArtReam Hall after Yuko Matsumoto's heartfelt acceptance speech for Best Traditional Album slowly began to fade as the lights in the hall dimmed once again. The cameras panned across the stage, signaling to the audience that the show was entering a brief break before the next major award. The crowd, still buzzing from Yuko's emotional win, began to relax in their seats, engaging in quiet conversation or checking their devices to catch up with the online reactions flooding the internet. A few seconds later, a brief message appeared on the screens across the hall:
"We'll be back in a moment after this short break."
