During a lot of songs (such as the intro, Corona, FANTASY, VELVET, Heisei juushichinen shichigatsu nanoka, 4U, WATERFALL and the beautiful name), fans held their light and the scenery created was truly breathtaking! It truly felt as if the Nippon Budoukan had been turned into a starry sky!

Also, toward the end of Heisei, there was a loud BANG and it started raining silver ribbons from the ceiling. Fans grabbed them (if they could) and waved them in the air!

I don’t remember exactly what was said during the MCs, but they were a bit shorter than usual, and definitely more serious (even Tora was at a loss for words for once). All the members thanked the fans for their support until now, which allowed them to be able to stand on the Nippon Budoukan stage and realize the dream they had since they were in high school. They asked everyone to please continue the support them with their future endeavors.

After the last song, the lights went out and the PV for “GEMINI-0-Eternal” was aired. Then there was an announcement about the Nippon Budoukan live’s DVD, which will be released in May this year. They also announced a spring tour called “PRELUDE to “Gemini”" which includes 10 lives + 1 FC-only live. More details to follow.
