  Enter multiple heart emojis in a row.

  Nico Nico Live

  Enter “8” multiple times in a row.
  Example: “8888”
  

  * Sending a large amount of emojis at once may result in your message hitting the automated spam filter. Only a few emojis are necessary to send your applause to the venue, so we recommend that you limit your message to 4 to 10 emojis at a time.
