Since it was Shou’s birthday, the set list consisted entirely of Shou’s favorite songs! By the way, the music playing before the live started was the Final Fantasy soundtrack. During one of the MCs, Saga also told the fans that there would be no pre-made set list for this tour, that they would just go with their and each audience’s feelings and play the songs they want to play, meaning that every concert will be different! While it does sound fun, it’s also a big challenge to undertake!
The members were wearing their new costumes, but Tora put a red bandana over his left eye.
Shou: “It’s Johnny Depp over there! Jack Sparrow! *hums the Pirate of the Carribeans theme song*”
Tora: “This… I’m only seeing from one eye! It’s totally unpractical! Plus, I can’t see the left side of the stage, it feels lonely… Usually, I can see Saga next to me, but now I have to feel his presence so I don’t bump into him.”
While Shou, Tora and Saga go on talking about Saga’s butterfly eyepatch and Tora’s neck brace, Nao is seen covering his face with his towel.
Shou: “*after he notices Nao* What are you doing!?”
Nao: “I’m trying to feel Saga’s presence too!”
Before the first encore, all the members left the stage as usual, but Nao and Saga sneaked back after just a few moments and started singing and playing the birthday song!
Saga: “♪Happy Birthday Dear…”
Fans: “Sho-ooooou! Happy Birthday to You♪”
Saga: “What? -laughing- Shou-kun, ne! [Not Sho-oooou]”
Then Tora and Hiroto dragged Shou back on stage.
Shou: “*laughing shyly* It was just me in the dressing room. I thought ‘Oh shit! I made a mistake!’”
Then the staff brought a cake on stage along with a uchiwa fan with Shou’s character, Minto, on it. Shou tried to blow the candles but one remained lit no matter how many times he blew on it. Eventually, he managed to put it off with the uchiwa. When asked what his birthday wish was, he said “To be able to do the Budoukan live with everyone!” Then Nao admitted that he had made Shou’s birthday cake himself the day before, and Shou immediately went around his drumset to hug him gratefully.
Then, the staff brought another cake, this time for Saga who was really speechless.
Saga: “We’ve never celebrated my birthday like this!”
Hiroto: “That’s right. Every year when Saga’s birthday comes, the band is recording and it’s kinda ignored. *laughs*”
After moving the cakes at toward the back of the stage, the band was ready to give us an encore without so much as a rest!
Shou: “Are you ready? Does anyone need to use the bathroom? *everyone turns to look at Nao*”
Nao: *shakes his head*
After the last encore, they showed the full “Senkou” PV on two big screens on each side of the audience, followed by bonus pictures of Nao making Shou’s birthday cake. The last words to show up on the screen were:
“Happy Birthday Shou!
(Saga-kun too!)”
