~ The audience could see her toned tummy as she achieved her "goal for this year," which was to "split my tummy."
VTR Birthday message from ANGERME Kawamura Ayano :
~ Kawamura : "Yume-chan appeared on our show "Nishino Kaze Brand," and every time Kawamura spoke of Yume-chan's good qualities, she was humbled. Kamu also told us that Yume-chan is a regular at the Takoyaki Museum. Yume-chan said, "I know Kawamura-san likes tuna, but she went out with me for octopus too." She hopes they can go out again.

"I really wanted to sing with just the three of us (Kudo, Endo Akari, Mendako), but it was difficult, so I asked my Mendako plushie friend to join me to eat dinner.", explaining her skit.
3. Suhada wa Nettaiya (OCHA NORMA)
- Opening Talk :
~ "I am Kudo Yume, and I am 19 years old today. Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu"
~ "When I joined Juice=Juice, I was in the third year of junior high school and was 14 or 15, so I'm surprised to think that it's been five years since then," said Kudo, who was happy to meet everyone on her birthday.
~ She explained that this year is the Year of the Rabbit, so she folded origami paper into a rabbit for everyone.
~ In the first event, she folded origami paper into rockets to represent the fireworks go boom like "Capriccio"
4. Shunrenka (Tsubaki Factory)
5. Iroppoi Jirettai (Morning Musume.)
6. Aa Susukino (S/mileage)
7. Thanks! (GAM) / with Mendako
MC :
~ Since "Thanks!" usually has two people singing, so she brought her Mendako out again. "I was glad to be able to perform this song," said Kudo, "because I memorized the lyrics on the lyric card with arrows to move to the right and back."
~ She chose to "Iroppoi Jirettai" this time, and she said it was one of her favorites. She had hoped to do it someday, so she was happy that it came true.
~ Before going to the second half, Kudo wanted to show the power of her teeth, explaining that she always bites some candy in the dressing room, so she wanted to show that. She said that she has a habit of eating a bag of candy and putting it away on the shelf after she has decided how many pieces she will eat in a day.
~ When she asked, "Are there people who chew candy right away and eat it as if it were a snack?" A few hands went up, and Kudo was relieved to hear that there were a surprisingly large number of people. She explained that she also chews candies and is good at eating candy apples. She had hoped to show her candy apples someday and moved on to the topic of Endo Akari, speaking of apples.
~ Kudo said she was very happy that Akaringo loves me and helped me today, and that she is a good junior. After that, she suddenly started dancing and explained, "This is the Akaringo love dance~" Kudo is embarrassed that she can't show this dance to her.
8. Daite yo! PLEASE GO ON (Goto)
9. Shabondama (Morning Musume.)
10. Suki Kamo Shirenai (Kobushi Factory)
VTR : A video is shown of Kudo Yume talking while making Origami. She talked about her new photobook and said that her favorite part was the one with the light purple loungewear, when she realized she had made another type of origami shape instead of the rabbit she was suppose to make and smiled shyly. While watching anime, she was doing a "fold 50 origami and sign 50" pace, which is a lot of work since she has an Osaka show this year.
MC :
~ "I've turned 19 years old and I have a lot of challenges to face, as I think about today's event, I can only say 'I will grow up,' but I want to make everyone feel happy that I joined Juice=Juice and happy that I became an idol." she said.
~ "I'm 19, and I'll be 20 next time, but when I see the videos of the great seniors of Hello !Project at the age of 16 and 17, I'm overwhelmed and I wish I could be there." She said that she would like to continue to experience various things and become a full-fledged member of the project while feeling various things from this event.
~ "I am extremely positive, so I will do my best to bring cheer and energy to you. I hope you all can take time to relax, eat, sleep, walk, and exercise, even though you may be going through a difficult time every day."
11. Yume Sae Egakenai Yozora ni wa (BEYOOOOONDS)
*Kudo went down to the audience and asked them to sit, then sang while walking down the aisle and returned to the stage from the stairs on the other side of the aisle.
She waved to the audience goodbye after the song and left the stage. End.
