Since this event was the last single of leader Takeuchi Akari, who will graduate from ANGERME on June 21st at the Yokohama Arena concert, a total of about 1,000 people attended the two events. Since Takeuchi's graduation live after this performance and the "Sayonara Nakano Sunplaza Music Festival" on June 11th, many fans, especially Takeuchi's fans, gathered at the venue.
The event started with their latest song "Ai no Kedamono". The theme of the song is "carnivorous" love, and it is a wild and powerful song that is typical of today's ANGERME. The theme of the song was about a girl in the jungle, and the song was also unique, embodying "the strongest onnanoko" = "the strongest ANGERME girl". After the powerful performance, Takeuchi greeted the audience with "Hello everyone who came to our single release event! Takeuchi said, "It's been a while since I've seen you." Takeuchi smiled at the close proximity to the fans, saying "I was scared to be so close to the fans for the first time in a long time." The MC was centered on behind-the-scenes stories about the production of the new song, and the atmosphere was very lively.
After the MC, they performed three songs in a row. Takeuchi went on to announce the upcoming live concert on June 11th, "Sayonara Nakano Sun Plaza Music Festival," and the release of her first photobook "roundabout", and to promote her graduation concert to be held at Yokohama Arena on June 21st. When she talked about her graduation concert, some fans were already shedding tears.
The last song was the first performance in front of the fans. The song was provided by Tsunku, who has been watching over Takeuchi since her debut. It has been 3 years and 7 months since they had a song by Tsunku, "Zenzen Okiagarenai SUNDAY", which became the group's first single to reach No.1 on the Oricon Weekly Chart. The theme of "Dousousei" is a pledge of trust between the members of ANGERME as well as between ANGERME and their fans.
A press interview was also held prior to the event.
Asked by a reporter what she wanted to hear from the latest single "Ai no Kedamono," leader Takeuchi said, "The theme of this song is female strength, which is a little different from the image of strong women that ANGERME has sung up to now. We worked hard on the dance. It is the most difficult dance in ANGERME. I think you can see the strongest ANGERME in this song."
Takeuchi also touched on another song, "Dousousei" saying, "It's been a long time since Tsunku wrote a song for us, and he made it into a really great song, partly because I'm graduating. The music video, which shows a different side of ANGERME, is also noteworthy," she said smiling.
Also, Takeuchi, the leader of the group who will graduate from the group and Hello! Project, spoke about her current state of mind. "I really don't feel it, I don't feel sad or anything at all, it's a strange feeling. Up until now I've been the one to see them off, and at that time, if it was a week before or something, I would be soaking up the loneliness, but now that I'm the one graduating, I don't really feel it. I think I will probably continue to feel this way until the day of the graduation. I'm looking forward to the Yokohama Arena concert more than the graduation live," she said.
Sub-leader Kawamura Ayano said, "I have always dreamed of performing in an arena. I'm sad to see Takeuchi-san graduate, but I'm also happy to be able to stand in the arena. I want to show the current ANGERME to as many people as possible, and I hope this show will lead us to the next stage so that we can perform in an arena again. My dream is to go on an arena tour, so I want to make the concert a success so that it will be the first step in that direction!"
Takeuchi also touched on her future plans after graduation: "The members who have graduated from ANGERME are all very active, so I want to do my best to keep up with them too. I have a dream to become a world-class calligrapher after graduation, so I will do my best to achieve it. I also want to be a person who can support ANGERME from the outside and be a source of strength even after graduation. I want to do my best so that I don't lose to everyone else!" she said.
In closing, Takeuchi said, "This single is really the culmination of the current 10 members of ANGERME. When "Ai no Kedamono" was completed, everyone's performance was so cool that I felt I could leave the group without any worries. This will be my first and last solo performance as a member of ANGERME at Yokohama Arena, but it will be my first time to perform on the big stage since I joined Hello Pro Egg. It was the first time I was allowed to perform on stage as a solo member of ANGERME. I joined Hello Pro Egg on June 22 (2008) and will graduate on June 21 (2023). I think it is fateful and wonderful that I can move on to a new path exactly 15 years after joining the group."
