The first song was "Goin'on". The venue was filled with cheers. The lyrics of this mid-tempo but exciting song, "One step up will expand your stage" and "We are one" were impressive, expressing the fact that the six members are still "i☆Ris" when they get together even if they have expanded their activities such as voice acting, stage performances, modeling, and solo debuts after the 5th anniversary.
