While watching a horror movie, Yukimura said he was talking all the time to drown out his fears, which was revealed by the two of them.

Tanaka is a charismatic sushi chef who "helps lost sisters find their mother. When he nominated Kitahara as the younger sister, she appeared suspicious, but she called out loudly to the audience, which was made to look like a town, to find her mother. After the three had finished their performances, a vote was taken by applause, and the most charismatic was Yukimura, the charismatic tissue man.

Next was the "Never Give Up, Never!" corner featuring "Wandering Dream Chaser". corner. encouraging the producer to make a decision not to give up.

I'm going to Hatsushima so I'll try my best to be an athletic model! (We encourage producers such as "I'm going to Hatsushima, so I'm going to try my best to be an athletic model!)

I'll be waiting for your good news!" Then, the live corner was held. They formed a circle and sang, "I won't lose. We will not be defeated by anyone. We are Stray Light! and then they sang "Wandering Dream Chaser" as the first song. The warm atmosphere filled with smiles up to this point was replaced by a tightened expression as they sang and danced, showing their strong and passionate will. After calling out the title of the second song, "Transcending The World," the three members sat down and took a low stance.

I would like to show you even better performances, so please continue to support us! (Yukimura), "Did you have a good time, producer?　Thank you very much!　That's all I can say!　Thank you very much!"
