I understand most of the movie but one scene I can't completely filter into
different buckets of reality is, the scene where they say Mimorin is going to
have another concert with the two other idols remaining in the group, and all
the otaku gather and seem to collectively see Mimorin there (it was written in
her blog I think that she would be performing, so everything thought she'd be
there). Was it the chubby female manager or performed in her stead? How would
no one have noticed? Or was it just Mimorin's delusion?

Perfect Blue - What was *that* scene?


This is more-so speculation on my part, so sorry if that this answer doesn't
suite well enough.

It is not true. Mima did not actually perform and the manager was not
performing as her. The image that we see is part of Mima's delusion as she
originally doesn't know that her manager is pretending to be her, and truly
believes that the person behind the blog is some sort of demented version of
her.

Because Mima is unable to separate herself from the blog, she sort of enters a
state of psychosis and through that altered reality, she sees herself
performing.

The crowd most likely was cheering on the group because it is stated earlier
in the film that the duet the remaining two members did had hit the top
charts. So it is probable that the fans are celebrating the group regardless
of Mima being there.
