The doors of the church opened and May'n appeared on stage wearing the white costume from the music video of the film, and the free live started with the danceable "Shine A Light. This song is the lead song from her 5th album "PEACE of SMILE" released last October 18. Its music video is included in the Blu-ray Disc of the limited first edition of the new single "You".

When she finished singing, she greeted the audience with "Hello everyone, I'm May'n! and greeted the audience. She looked around at the audience that filled the plaza and said to the fans in the back, "I can see you! I can see you! I've been looking forward to this event since it's been a while since I've held a release event in Tokyo," she said, smiling.

For the coupling songs of this single, they decided on the theme of each song based on the scene that came to mind when they heard the melody, and offered the lyrics to the lyricists. The second song, "Another," was written by Yuho Iwasato. The second song, "Another," was written by Yuho Iwasato. The theme of the lyrics was May'n's desire to "not encourage people who are suffering, but to empathize with them and affirm the fact that they are suffering. As she began to sing, the backlight on the stage changed from the blue of "Shine A Light" to red. This sad, medium number was the quintessential May'n song. She emotionally sang the lyrics, "I'll take your troubles as they are.

After singing "Another," May'n continued with "Monster," the third song on the single. This song was written by Seiichi Shindo of Porno Graffitti, who sang about the frustration of being trapped in a relationship from a male perspective. After singing the two songs, May'n said, "I performed both songs for the first time today. I'm looking forward to bringing these two songs to everyone on my upcoming live tour," said May'n, feeling a positive response.

The final song of the free live was the title track "You," the opening theme song for the second cool episode of the TV anime "Mahoutsukai no Yome. The main character Chise, who had despaired of living at first, gradually grew up and started to walk on her own feet in the second season of the TV anime. May'n herself says that the song was able to push Chise's back and give her the courage to walk on her own feet. I am happy to have found this song in this year of May'n's 10th anniversary. She sang the new song "You" strongly with a sense of speed, saying, "Please let me sing this song for everyone who came here, for 'you' only.

In April, she will start her "and You" concert hall tour, which will visit five cities throughout Japan. I would like to make my 10th anniversary year as May'n an enjoyable year with you all. Once again, thank you for your support! In her final greeting, she expressed her strong will to continue her activities with an unwavering mindset, never forgetting her original intention. Of course, the audience responded with loud cheers and the free live ended.

During the special event that followed, May'n handed out posters to visitors who had purchased CDs. The scene of May'n smiling and conversing with fans could be seen repeatedly.
