This time, they are leaving Studio 101 and, under the title "Venue101 EXTRA," will hold a public recording at NHK Hall for the second time this fiscal year. The event will be broadcast over two weeks. In WEEK1, which will be broadcast on Saturday, September 26, four live performances will be delivered.

ONEW, who is also active as the leader of SHINee, will cover Kirinji's famous song "Aliens." Da-iCE will perform "Unlimited," a song with a long-held chorus note that straightforwardly encourages listeners with "You can go even further," and M!LK will perform "Jikuu Koete Universe," said to be the concluding part of a trilogy themed around "love," following "I love you so much, die!" and "Explosive I love you." And WEEK2 on Saturday, October 3 will also be delivered with plenty of highlights, including live performances by Ayumu Imazu, ≒JOY, BALLISTIK BOYZ, and M!LK.
