Official Report
The first song was "Magical Night and Mysterious Waltz" by Sako. Amagatsu said, "Tonight we'll make magic for you! and then Sako said, "Come on, let's all sing together! They stood on the left and right stands, looking at each other and facing each other as they sang. When she pointed the microphone at the audience, they called out "1, 2, 3! During "Whimsical Merry-Go-Round," a song written by Sako for Tengetsu's album "Hakoniwa Dramatic," the audience twirled their arms with penlights in time to the lyrics, and the duo smiled broadly, "So beautiful! and their smiles were in full bloom. The sense of unity was extraordinary.

We've known each other for about seven years, but this is the first time we've had a two-man show like this. I was really looking forward to it.
I want to make this a wonderful night with you all!　Everyone loves Pokemon! (Sako)
Then, do I like ...... Digimon ? (Amagatsu)

After the greetings, they went on to "Inokori-sensei," with the name of a character to which each of them is related, and then to the lyrics. "Do you like Tenzuki?" "Do you like Sakotomo?" Do you like Amato?" The audience called out in full force as the two arranged the lyrics. The fun was getting faster and faster.

From there, Amatsuki went through his own powerful tune "DIVE! and then covered Sako's bouncy pop tune "Always". As she was about to pass the baton to Sako, Sako said, "Let's sing together." "Really⁉" she said impatiently, and Amagatsu sang one chorus of "Getta Bang Bang". Despite the unplanned turn of events, Amagatsu remembered the lyrics and the chorus choreography, which impressed Sako. Sako was impressed. After high-fiving each other, Amagatsu sang "Getta Bang Bang," and then Sako sang "Mikazukiri Size," a rock number by Amagatsu, to which Sako covered the image of Amagatsu who usually does not sing rock songs. Amatsuki was surprised by the unexpected choice of song, but such a challenge is also one of the best parts of a two-person show with Amato.

In a change from the band style, the two sang "FUTARIBOSHI" and "Ai Kotoba" with only Sako's acoustic guitar playing in the background. The two sang "Futari Boshi" and "Ai Kotoba" with only Sako's acoustic guitar playing in the background.

Then, Sako gently pushed the audience with her own song "Floria," in which she expressed her hope that "there is a flower that only you can make bloom," and then gave a touch of melancholy with "Bluebird," and again with her own song "Someday You're Gonna Break Up With That Guy," in which she comically involved the audience in the song. On the other hand, Amatsuki's "I'm sure you'll break up with him someday" was comical and got the audience involved. On the other hand, Amatsuki united the floor with "Little Love Song," and then thrilled the audience with her freshly composed new song "Marionette Lovers," before softly expressing her gratitude by playing the piano and singing "Present. Their desire to express themselves and their strong feelings for the music and their fans were clearly evident.

After making the audience laugh with a number of playful videos, they excited the audience with their own arrangement of Gen Hoshino's "Koi," followed by the first performance of a new song that they had written together for the occasion. The happy number, which began with beautiful falsetto harmonies as they looked at each other, was a new and big step for Amato. The last song of the show was "Words Not Necessary Promise," their first collaboration since Sako moved to Tokyo, and the strong bond between the two never wavered.

Then came the encore. The two of them called out the title of the song from behind each other's backs, and then they pressed the point with the word "Come" for "Romeo". The song "Shooting Star" was another song written by Sako for Tengetsu's album "Hakoniwa Dramatic" and for which they spun the lyrics together. The closing of the concert with "songs that are important to both of them" was nothing short of euphoric. The song was a euphoric ending to a song that is "very important to both of them.
