The show at Zepp DiverCity (Tokyo)

The first two shows of the additionally announced shows have come to a close! Expectations were high for said shows, as fans were expecting these shows to potentially turn into a treasure trove for rarely performed songs. Koshi also made clear in an MC, why they added these shows: “There was a huge gap between shows after the Ajinomoto Stadium show, so we called the Zepp venues, and they happened to be free!”
Furthermore, a funny scene played out during the show at Zepp Namba: Tak told the audience to tell somebody if they’re feeling unwell. That somebody is going to come rescue them in that case. A fan in the crowd then shouted “Matsumoto-san! Please come rescue me!” to which Tak replied “I’m at work here… (laughs)”.

Check out the setlists for both shows below.
