At the start time, a clock is displayed on the screen, and the hands of the clock tick to advance. When the needle pointed to 7:00 in the morning, the opening video of the members getting up, choosing clothes, and getting ready for the morning started. After completing the preparations, the seven went to the meeting place for the date. When the video ended, a powerful cymbal sound rang from the other side of the curtain, and 7ORDER's "1st day" began with "Ame ga Hajime no Chigi". The curtain rises with an exhilarating band sound, and Kentaro Yasui (Vo) calls out to the audience with all his might, “Yoyogi! From the beginning of the live, as if responding to their enthusiastic performance, the Yoyogi Daiichi Gymnasium was illuminated by seven colors of penlights that shimmered and shook all at once.

Ken Arashi Abe (Vo) said, "I'll make it the best date in Yoyogi last!" The venue is filled with warm air. “SUMMER-sama”, which was performed from the last tour, was a big hit with the original choreography that has become well-established among the fans. Moroboshi and Abe stepped out onto the runway under the glaring sound of the sun shining down and engaged in a powerful rap exchange. In the punk rock number "Aozora to Bakudan", Yasui picks up a guitar and joins the band ensemble. In this song, which consists only of twin guitars, bass, and drums, Moroboshi, Reo Nagatsuma (Key, Vo), and Abe dash down the sandy beach like the lyrics, "Take off your shoes and start running on the sandy beach." , the members strummed with a sense of speed behind their backs, and they were playing innocently like children.

Once the members left the stage, "Cafe 7", where Keigo Hagiya (Dr, Vo) serves as manager, opened. Three people, Nagatsuma, Abe, and Morohoshi, came to the cafe and started a comedy with the theme of thinking about confession lines. Morohoshi sincerely confessed, "If I score a goal in today's game, please go out with me!" In response to Nagatsuma's confession, "If someone scores three points in today's match, go out with me!", Abe immediately replied, "You decide!" Abe said, "If I hit a home run in today's game, get down on your knees and say meow meow." When the three people asked Hagiya for help, the "7 Cleaner" that everything turned white in an instant, and the coins that fell under the vending machine. A TV shopping-style video with a "random trading card" that can be taken is played, and the venue becomes more and more chaotic. Finally, Miyuto Morita (B, Vo) burst into the scene, and when the skit ended, the R&B number "Cafe latte" co-written by Yuma Sanada (G, Vo) and PES started. Set in a café, the members lightly dance to chill sounds and saxophone solos, asking the audience to clap. Riding on the sound of claps, they took their steps, and when the venue came together to enjoy the music, ``Hotaru no Hikari'' played and Yasui announced that the café closed.

The spotlight hit the center stage that continued from the hanamichi, and it was Morita who went up to the stage alone. In the silence, he sat on a chair in the center of the stage with the audience staring at him. Morita started dancing to “Rest of my life” as soft piano sounds played. On the main stage, Moroboshi sang softly, and each member joined in and spun the song. With the beautiful harmony of the 6 members in the background, Morita dances gracefully as if performing a song, and towards the second half, the dance becomes more dynamic as if releasing emotions. The audience breathlessly watched 7ORDER's new song and dance expression using two stages, and at the end, Morita sat down on a chair again and gave a big applause when he finished the performance. After that, when the venue went dark, Yasui appeared on the left side of the main stage and started singing the love ballad song "Moshimo" gently. Hagitani appeared on the right side of the stage, and his pure singing voice resounded throughout the venue. The other members slowly went up to the center stage, and after the two of them slowly continued singing, Hagitani and Yasui also walked along the hanamichi and joined the center stage members. Each of the 7 members held a bouquet of flowers and formed a circle facing the audience, staring straight ahead and singing their love for “you” in front of them.

When “Moshimo” ended, a four-on-the-floor beat resounded, and “Feel So Good” started. A camera followed the 7 people happily joining shoulders and jumping on the runway and stage, and the smiles of the members bursting onto the screen. With Yasui's song "Let's go see the light over the horizon" as a signal, the seven marched together on the hanamichi. In an open atmosphere, a catchy dance with a thumbs-up good sign spread throughout the venue. The MC will be a memory story of the tour, and the focus will be on Yasui and Abe's "Hokkaido Missing Incident". The night before the performance in Hokkaido, Yasui and Abe had finished their other jobs and were planning to board a plane to Hokkaido, but even though they had put their luggage on the plane at the airport, they missed the flight and ended up on the day. It is said that it is gone. When asked by the members, "What were you doing?", Yasui confessed, "I was eating eel...". While all the members were tsukkomi all at once, Hagitani wondered, "I understand Kenarashi, but isn't it unusual for Yasu to be like that?" There was also a scene where a sharp point was made. 7ORDER's penlights were sold for the first time on this tour, and after that there was also a corner where they would use the lights of the penlights to take questionnaires from the audience. Abe's question, "Which do you prefer, the first day of the tour or the last?" Nagatsuma also tried to take a questionnaire and started talking, "You just talked about the hotel, didn't you?" "I'm not doing it" and start to be confused. Nagatsuma tilted her head, saying, "I feel like I was doing it in my head," and said, "I'd like to talk about the hotel next time." left a mystery as to whether he intended to take

After Yasui's words, "It was getting dark in the blink of an eye while we were talking about that. Then, please enjoy 7ORDER at night from here." "Bar7", which is the master, opened. Hagitani, Sanada, and Morohoshi performed elegantly using bells and bottles, and finally performed a fan pose with group gymnastics. After the other members joined in and excited the venue with their dance, the words “Date with Leo & Alan” appeared on the screen. Then, Abe and Nagatsuma appeared on the stage, which was dyed in vivid pink lights, and began singing "Casis". Abe's passionate singing voice and Nagatsuma's sexy singing voice echoed alternately, and the other members also colored the luscious expressions of the two young people with their dance. In addition, the seven performed "Make it true", "Perfect", "&Y", "What you got" and "Break it" in a dance mix medley. When the 7 members performed powerful dances in an arrangement unique to this tour, the enthusiasm of the venue increased even further.

When the seven left the stage, a CG image of a winged monster in motion began. The monster focused on the Yoyogi National Stadium and fired a powerful beam from the chest engraved with the letter "7". Furthermore, he peered into the venue from the roof of the destroyed venue, and continued to shoot beams from his eyes. Smoke blew up on the center stage ahead of the beam, and the members of 7ORDER appeared from it. They started dancing "MONSTER" on the stage dyed in red lights. The seven of them performed a powerful formation dance with glaring eyes, and hot flames continued to blow up on the main stage. After that, the members moved to the main stage and stood by at their respective instruments. The stage was dyed in blue lights, and a fantastic atmosphere spread in the venue. Yasui said, "Everyone, thank you very much for spending your precious time here today. In a world where many things are difficult, people are talking about whether entertainment is necessary, and I'm thinking a lot. There have been times, but the reason why entertainment exists is because of the people who come to see it,” he says earnestly. Then, “The reason we were able to run to the end was because of everyone who came to see us, and because you came to see us, we were able to stand on the stage like this, and in such a big venue. That was a big thing for us.” He nodded as if to reconsider his thoughts, and then said, “It’s always you who make that dream come true. And it’s the members. Believing that we can push ourselves or give someone a little bit of courage, we will continue to run forward as a 7-member group. Looking around the venue, Yasui commented, "As the night progressed, it became time to see the starry sky." Yasui said, "The pure white world where everyone's hearts are united like this, the rainbow colored world of seven colors, and the pitch-dark appearance of everyone raising their hands and looking at me with serious eyes. Each and every one of you always gives us courage. Please use the courage you gave us to continue singing on this stage." After Yasui said, "Please let us sing our precious song in the scenery created by everyone," the song "Musoujin," written by all the members of 7ORDER, was played. The raw voices filled with each person's thoughts spread throughout the venue, followed by romantic guitar phrases and saxophone solos, and at the end, a magnificent sound and powerful, straight voices reverberated as if carving out their way of life. rice field.

While the performance of "Musoujin" lingers, the lead track "agitate" of the latest album "Re:ally?" started with a fresh guitar sound that stirs the heart. With a beautiful sky that seems to go on forever in the background, they released a band sound with a sense of scale, and sang as if to unleash their impulsive thoughts. The last number is 7ORDER's first song, "LIFE", which has undergone a transformation through arrangements at every live performance. In this tour, the arrangement is based on the rhythm of the audience's clap. Together with the audience, the performance of this song was created, and in the outro, Morohoshi and Nagatsuma faced each other and played an emotional solo part as if they were interacting with the saxophone and keyboard. The members spun a rich ensemble around the two solos, and at the end, the seven gathered around Hagitani's drums. Through the polished arrangement of "LIFE", 7ORDER's unstoppable evolution was shown, and Yasui's roar of "Fly!"

When the applause for an encore continued for a while, a preview video of Abe's starring movie "Two Out Full Bass", which will be released on March 25, was played on the screen. When the video ends, Abe stands on stage with a guitar and begins singing the movie theme song "Les Paul", which is in charge of 7ORDER. Beginning with Abe's powerful singing and guitar, the members' performances joined in, creating a straight rock sound. For the encore of this tour, an attempt was made to select songs from the two songs proposed by 7ORDER by majority vote with penlights, and the candidate songs for the final performance were "BOW!!" and "What you got." "What you got" was chosen as a result of the majority vote, and the members sang this song loudly.

At the end, the members greeted each other one by one. I was really happy to be able to share the energy! Please come see us again. Thank you for today!" Hagitani said, “I was able to come back to Yoyogi Daiichi Gymnasium, a place where I have many memories. I was really happy from the bottom of my heart that I was able to make it through safely, and that I was able to make a lot of fun things with everyone during that time.” This tour was made by everyone, including the staff, the audience who came to see us.Thank you so much for letting us run this far.But I want to do more tours!Please let me do it again!If everyone comes, we can do it.

Abe said, "Standing on stage like this and feeling that everyone needs me makes me feel alive from the bottom of my heart. Everyone needs me, but I need you too. Thank you for always being by my side." Looking around the venue. Nagatsuma enthusiastically said, "I feel like it's gone by in the blink of an eye. I've been doing it since the first day, but I think it's thanks to everyone's smiles that it doesn't feel like the last time." Even when I started talking, I was getting more and more teary, saying, "The staff must be tired, but they greeted me with a big smile... even though they were tired... everyone was early in the morning..." go. Then, "Thanks to everyone. Recently, I've been able to see a lot of artists' live performances, and I think it's thanks to everyone that I've been able to stand there without anything. From now on, I want to continue to cherish my smile!" She said with a tearful smile.

Sanada said, "I really love everyone! It's the same for everyone who's come to see us right now, the staff, and the members. I think it's all thanks to everyone's love," and said, "I'm really happy to be able to hold this mic and sing at this venue. I want to tell myself when I was little. Everyone, thank you so much for bringing us this far! And let's continue to look at various scenery with a smile." Yasui said, “I am truly grateful that I was able to finish the race so far. They are working for people.I think it's amazing again.I'm grateful to everyone.Thank you very much." I'm sure there's a lot going on, but please keep your mind and body healthy, and keep smiling. Let's meet again!"

Even after the 7 people left the stage, the Yoyogi Gymnasium was filled with applause filled with feelings for them. Called by that feeling, the members reappeared on the stage. At the end of the day's date, they presented "Lonely night" to the fans and lightly stepped on the center stage. After finishing the performance, when 7ORDER tried to say hello again, the words “Date with 7” were projected on the screen. It was a performance that even the members didn't hear, so the video started with the sound source of "Feel So Good" in the background, with voices saying "I don't know about this" and "What is it?". It was a surprise movie full of tour memories from the staff to 7ORDER. The members were deeply moved by the loving surprise, saying, "I'm happy!" While reminiscing about their 3-month tour, they moved to the main stage with a feeling of reluctance. Yasui called out to the audience, "Everyone can't speak out, but please say it in your heart. Please," to the closing words. The seven held hands and lined up in a horizontal line on the main stage. After saying, "Everyone, thank you so much for letting us run through all 33 performances. And thank you for your continued support." It echoes in the first gymnasium. There were seven people who raised their hands high with a fulfilling and radiant smile while receiving the applause of the audience.
