ShowAyanocozey: Kishidan performed as guests at ayu-chan’s tour finale. A “One Night Carnival” where we sang together with ayu-chan and danced together with everyone in TA. It was the best scene, the best moment. Actually, since Kishidan is a band, this “One Night Carnival” was the first time we danced in front of anyone. We’re really the worst dancers, but we trained all night long, as a thank-you to ayu-chan who helped us out at Kishidan Banpaku. Did we dance well? Did our efforts show?

ShowAyanocozey: We just received lots of messages of love from everyone in TeamAyu. It was really so fun. Thank you.
