He also raised his towel as a beer mug and sang "Kampai I'm going! and performed "Bokuno no ☆☆☆Kikaku" (My ☆☆☆Plan).

The fourth guest group was 2HEARTS, featuring Tomoyuki Morikawa and Fumihiko Tachiki, who sang the powerful song "Kokoro saki hakimare.

It had been a while since 2hearts had performed live, but the backstage hosts were overwhelmed by their singing voices that showed no signs of blanks, and Suzumura said excitedly, "It really was a rock festival. In the midst of all this, the two members of 2HEARTS appeared wearing white and afro wigs, showing a mischievous gap between their brawny stage presence.

A touching reunion between Mitsuo Iwata and the four hosts

The last of the guest part was Mitsuo Iwata, who was a longtime host of "OREPARA" and graduated from the program in 2013. Returning to this stage as a guest, Iwata performed "Grasshopper" and then opened his speech by saying, "I'm home! How are you guys?" and was happy to see his "Ole Para" fans again.
I once told you something. I once said, "If we do 'Oregon Para' in the summer, it will become 'Oregon Summer. Then there was a scene...but they were using it! (laugh)." He went on to reveal the story of the birth of "O-Re Summer," followed by "Wake Up, Baby, Wake Up! and "Cute Osiris.

The release of the CD and the title of the song are still up in the air, but more information will be released in the future.

Ms. Suzumura was the top performer of the host part. After singing "INTENTION" in the dusk, she said cheerfully, "Now that the sun has set, let's get excited! and performed "SHIPS" with full of energy. They performed "Aiue Ongaku" and "Clap for me! and ran from the right end to the left end of the stage. The blue penlights were waving in unison, and Suzumura's smiling face as she looked around at the audience was impressive.

Next, Ms. Ono appeared on stage. However, he remained upright for a while even as the audience cheered. Amidst the endless cheers, he struck a Michael Jackson-like pose in time with the sound effects.
After performing "ROSA ~Blue Ocean~," he asked the audience, "Are you ready to sweat yet?　Let's dance together, Conifer Forest! and sang and danced to "Ardent ANSWER.

Ms. Terashima appeared next and her first song was "sunlight avenue. This time, he changed the lyrics specially and sang, "Let's walk on the road of Ore para no michi. Terashima jumped up and down while encouraging the audience to join in with "Solani x Melody". The scale of the piano and the band's melody seemed to soar into the dusk sky as the title suggests.
Terashima-san's setlist for this concert was designed to suit the outdoor setting and the time of day. Fuji and the stars in the sky, I would like to close with this song to wish for the further development of OREPARA," he said before moving on to "Star Tail. The song "Star Tail" was a fantastic scene with yellow penlights swaying in the dim light, and the emotional guitar rock was exploding.

The last performer of the night was Mr. Morikubo. During the MC, he looked back on the stage and thanked each of the performers. Then, "It's getting cooler, so let's get hotter," he said as he performed "Stand down. The audience raised their fists in the air in unison.
The audience raised their fists in the air in unison. There have been many things that have happened to us, and there have been many things that have happened to everyone. Today, we have guests who joined us for the first time, guests who came back, and staff who support us. Let me say to you all. Thank you!" and the final song "never ends..." with a heavy rock sound. During the a cappella part, their clear voices reached far beyond the forest surrounding the venue.

After the sun had completely set, the four hosts appeared for encore and sang "Sleeping Things". Fans chorused the phrase "Bokurawa nattekita yo" (We were born to be born), which echoed through the Conifer Forest in high spirits. Then DearDream, Toyonaga, Hatano, and 2HEARTS appeared in turn. When Ms. Iwata came out last, all the performers ran left and right across the stage, enjoying the call-and-response with the fans.
