Soyeon transformed into a punk rock girl, passionately singing 'Butter-Fly', the OST from the animation 'Digimon Adventure', along with her guitar performance, receiving explosive reactions. A giant penlight that embodied the 'Digivice' added visual enjoyment to the stage. Minnie, Ugi, and Shuhua performed '愛♡スクリ～ム！' with a cute performance, which became a big hit in Japan this summer. The members shared their thoughts, saying, 'Although it was a two-day performance, it felt so short because every moment was fun and happy. We would be glad to have many more opportunities to meet in the future.' They concluded the concert with the fan song 'Neverland', gifting unforgettable memories to the fans. The venue was also attended by Akira Kawashima from Kirin, who had previously declared himself a fan, and First Summer Uika, who made a cameo in the music video for 'どうしよっかな'.
