Official Live Report ] (*Honorific titles omitted)
On June 4, 2017, Ai Nakajima's first solo live after returning to music was held at Shinagawa Stellar Ball. The lights decorating the stage and the band members' performance gradually overlapped, and the audience's excitement rose with the claps of the fans who had been waiting for this day. Then, "Omawase! The first song was "Saijo no Moment" (The Best Moment). The first song was "Highest Moment", the coupling song of the first single after her comeback. and the fans' voices pushed Nakajima's back as he sang "This is the starting line. The "high" tension that started from the opening of the show continued without a break into the steel plate song, "That's just another story behind the story, isn't it? which was followed without a break.

This live performance was composed as if looking back Nakajima's path. The song "Tenshi ni naritai (I want to be an angel)," one of the two debut songs, was the first song to be performed. The song was sung by Nakajima, who had struggled and flown away from the hurt in the midst of the healthy phrase, and it had a strength that oozed out from the song. The cute idol pop song with hand gestures that she sang in the same corner was also Nakajima's 18th song. The next section was a section of songs from around 2010, which mainly featured songs that could be listened to in a relaxed manner. In the song "God's Mischief," the harmonica tone of "Chappie the Great," the banjo player, struck a chord with Nakajima's gentle, elongated vocals. The fast-moving "Wish," from the band's third album, was a song from the period leading up to their hiatus from music in 2014.

The band also performed "AME (Rain)" for the first time, in which they participated as guest vocalists in Rasmus Faber's work. The section was a collection of songs that are rare in live performances, mainly electronic songs, but the band also playfully incorporated "Raspberry Kiss," a song well-known to fans. The phrase "Love for you" sung in the intro to the song is also the title of the live performance. Transfer" and "Marble" were arranged by the band in a way that could only be done at a live performance, bringing the audience together. I want to make a future where we can sing songs we've never sung before. Today is the first step.

Nakajima said he started thinking about returning to the band just this time last year. But he never imagined that a year later he would be performing in front of so many people. Nakajima prefaces his speech by saying, "I want to convey my serious feelings," but he also makes us laugh by expressing his joy by saying, "I'm choked up with tears.

She continued, "I want to thank everyone who came to the concert today, as well as the people who support me in different places, my family and friends, and the staff. I am here thanks to the support of everyone. It may not be a straight road, but I will keep moving forward. The last song of the show was "Watashi no Sekai," the first single after the band's return to the stage, which contained all of their current feelings. Nakajima, who gained "wings" with his debut single, has now soared through the storm and is once again soaring through the sky.

The audience shouted "Mamegu! When Nakashima reappeared in a white two-piece outfit with her hair tied back in a single knot and began to sing "Baby" a cappella, the audience cheered even louder and the seats blazed green. The audience burst into a green blaze of excitement. The "Macross F" medley, filled with "Kirakk☆" and "Dokun, dokun, dokun," reached its climax with "Houkago Overflow. She held back tears and murmured, "Thank you also to Ranka Lee, who was the reason for my debut. Then came "Kinkiro - I'm glad I fell in love with you. Nakajima opened his arms and hugged the yellow psyllium lights all around the stage. I'll always be with you," he said, smiling lightly.

I was so happy to get a double encore, and to have my live T-shirt remade for myself. He was happy about everything and seemed to be enjoying this time with us. He turned his regretful feelings into laughter, "Are you all coming to my house now? and then they started the last song, "Ai wa Meguru". The audience was filled with happiness as they clapped their hands and shouted "love is coming back" in a call-and-response.

The concert lasted about 3 hours, 23 songs in all, including a medley. Nakajima showed a performance that seemed to unleash his recharged power, and the audience repeatedly shouted "Welcome back! repeatedly from the audience. I want to make an album! I want to tour! I want to make an album! These words will remain in our hearts as a "promise" that we will surely receive someday, even after we wake up from the dream-like live performance. As they left the venue, they encouraged their fans, "Let's work hard again from tomorrow! and sent a shout out to the fans. This was Nakajima's last day at the age of 27. It was the best day to end a turbulent year.
