　After being welcomed by loud applause, they appeared on stage and immediately started to sing "Otona wa Kiwatte Kurenai (Otona wa Kiwatte Kurenai). Her singing voice gradually became stronger and more elongated while showing a little bit of nervousness. The atmosphere of the venue quickly became JUNNA's own.

　She asked the audience, "Have you listened to my mini-album 'Vai!　Thank you for today!　The reason I am able to be on such a stage and have so many people here is because of my activities in the unit Valkyrie. I would like to sing the most exciting song from Valkyrie!　The fans were delighted by this song, and they shouted loudly and excitedly. Then they went on to "JINXXX". When the jazzy intro started, the audience started clapping. Her vocals are filled with such overwhelming power that it does not matter what kind of venue.

　The ballad "Playing with Fire," which is included in her mini-album. Although she has an image of strongly singing rock songs, in this song, she delicately expresses herself while retaining her coolness. Her vocals were so emotional that I was shaken to my core when I heard the last verse of the song.

　Compared to the more mature singing, the MC was cute.
I'd like to hear what your favorite songs are. By the way, I like 'Otona wa Owanai Kudasai Kurenai'! He started from the back and asked the audience which song was their favorite. The audience raised their hands in splendidly divided hands. Then who says he likes "Vai!　......... Everyone should raise their hands here! The audience was not able to read the question, and the band made a comment to the audience who did not understand the question!　Some of the audience sang "Vai! Ya! Vai!" together during the chorus, and JUNNA's soulful and impressive vocals roared out.

　Although the mini-live consisted of five songs, the 30 minutes went by in a blink of an eye, and the audience was able to experience firsthand her talent as a vocalist. The event ended with a high-five exchange with the fans who had gathered for the high-five session.

　Her first solo tour "JUNNA ROCK YOU TOUR 2017 ~Vai! She will be performing at a live house with a live band, and we can't wait to hear what kind of singing voice she will bring to the "live" performance that she loves the most.
