The highlight of the show was the wild encore calls from audience members who had not previously heard of Starmarie. Long lines formed at the greeting session after the organizers cleared out for the second stage.
Fans packed the meet and greet session afterwards at the Moon Romantic Restaurant on April 18. The girls went on to perform their exclusive show at PIPE Live Music to culminate their Taiwan expedition. The show was a wild success due to the exposure from their Local-vs-Band Touch The Japan ticket sales.

Starmarie went on to perform Good Morining Hamamura Show, Splendid Alibi of the Emperor, Honda Kyoju no Dying Message.

They performed 17 songs in succession without any MC breaks: Who Killed Circus, The Three-starred Restaurant -Paul’s invitation, Cinderela can live only 124 days the rest of her life, 1/3 no Junjou na Kanjou the energy level kept rising.
