The concert concluded with the final song 'Rock with U', where fans engaged in a lively call and response, uniting the venue. A recording of the performance at Tokyo International Forum Hall A, which marked the start of the tour, was released on December 3. Through their solo activities, Yunho and Changmin continue to deliver different charms from their group activities.
