This song was completed because they were aware of the current live space where people sing along with clapping hands. The last song was "Mirai Note," in which May'n expressed her wish, "Let me sing for each and every one of you.

The song that closed the live was a collaboration between May'n and Konomi Suzuki. In past interviews, Suzuki had always said that May'n was the person she wanted to collaborate with, so this was a long-awaited collaboration. They sang May'n's song "Belief. The song was memorable for the way the two sang to each other, the way they sang to each other, and the way May'n's rhythmic footsteps echoed in the momentary silence. But what remained most memorable of all was the outpouring of emotion from the two, who were so happy to be on stage singing together that they could not help but be happy!　What was most memorable, however, was the outpouring of emotion from the two, who seemed to be so happy to be singing together on stage.
