On the day of the live, it was raining from early morning in the Tokyo area, but the weather turned for the better in the afternoon as the sun shone through. The venue was completely cleared and about 3,000 fans gathered to watch the concert.

When it was time for the show to begin, the opening video was shown on a monitor in the center of the stage with nostalgic background music. The atmosphere of the venue was completely tinted with the cute content reminiscent of a "date with Marie Uchida." The title of the live was finally announced and Marie Uchida appeared in a red one-piece dress with the introduction of the first song "+INTERSECT+". Although it was the first time for her to perform at a live concert, the audience's voltage was quickly raised by her well-matched dance performance with the four MAAYA dancers.


During the MC part, she opened her speech by happily calling out to the fans, "It's sunny now, isn't it? and the fans responded with cheers, sharing the joy of being able to welcome their first outdoor live under the clear skies. The fans cheered and shared the joy of their first outdoor live in sunny weather.


As the song "Crossfire" was about to start in the middle of the show, the audience started the song with a call and response of "Can you speak louder? The song started with a call and response of "Can you speak louder? The song is energetic and fast-paced, and the audience sang along with the chorus while shaking their towels in unison. While the performance was overflowing with enthusiasm, during the interlude, Marei Uchida shot water with a small water pistol toward the audience with dancers. As if the water guns were not enough, a huge water pump appeared on stage immediately after the performance. The giant water pump appeared on stage shortly afterward, and the audience in the back of the stage was drenched with water with such force that they forgot about the water guns that had appeared in the first half of the show, and they smiled with satisfaction.


During the next MC part, Marei Uchida suggested to take pictures with the audience. Katsuhiko Kurosu, the bandmaster of the MAAYA band, was in charge of the photo shoot, but his silent shutter release drew laughter from the fans.


As the sun set and the mood changed to a moody outdoor venue, she sat on a high chair on the stage and said regretfully, "The time I have with you all is really fleeting, and I pray that I can spend this wonderful time and view with you again. I pray that we will be able to see this wonderful time and scenery together again," she said regretfully. After the performance, a transitional video played to remind the audience of the "end of the date" and conveyed the sentiment, "I will always remember today's memories.


After the quick change, they reappeared in Japanese-style yukata and performed "Moratorium Dance Floor". With the red penlights shining all over the audience seats after the sun had set, they charmed the audience with their gorgeous dancing with the dancers to the danceable rhythm. During the interlude toward the end of the song, a lift appeared on stage and threw a hand towel to the audience from a height of about 3 meters, leaving the stage to the thunderous applause.


The applause gradually turned to calls for "Maaya," and the audience rang out for an encore. After a while, Uchida, wearing a live T-shirt, appeared on stage again to meet the fans' expectations. He ended his speech with the words, "It's a date until you go home! He ended the show with a cover of RC Succession's "Ameagari no Yozora ni" ("In the Night Sky After the Rain"). The smoke filled the stage and the performance had a rock flavor that is usually rare to see at a live concert.


For the last song, they performed "+INTERSECT+" again, which is also used as the title of this live. Running around the stage in all directions with water guns in hand, they sang the song and their first outdoor live performance was a great success.


The band will be performing at NHK Hall in Osaka on July 29, so if you are interested, please keep an eye out for them there as well.
