Due to the complete suspension of the national tour with audience participation last year, this tour is a performance that has been in place for two years and can finally meet the audience. The youngest member on the team, Akira Kotaki (24), revealed: "On the first day of the performance, I almost cried when I looked at (Kiriyama) Terushi (あきと). Because he couldn't meet his fans last year, Tomohiro Kamiyama (27) also confided in the song, "I was about to cry when I sang the song "Evidence.". ”
On the day of the performance, Janis West sang "Evidence" and 29 songs, including the new song "Something New" written and composed by singer-songwriter Aimu (あいみょん). The atmosphere was heated by the 7 singles sung by the 7 people for the first time, and then continued to rise.
