According to Nanase Aikawa’s blog, this was surprisingly the first time she sang with an orchestra in the background.

『Luka』, who traveled to Cowcon to enjoy the concert, commented on Instagram that Nanase Aikawa’s performance 「was different from usual, as she sang with an orchestra, but I was very impressed with the depth of sound in every song I heard with the orchestra」.
「There were also comments from Misato Tanaka and Minami Hamabe, who appeared in a commercial for Hokkoku Shimbun, and VTR appearances from Kanpei Hazama and Shingo Katori,」 said Luka.
