Luka raised the vibe of his rapping, creating a sense of exhilaration that can only be expected from a live performance, and the venue was filled with excitement.

With the VTR in between, BABYMONSTER reappeared in fresh white clothing. At the “Message Board” corner where the members answered questions submitted in advance by the audience, Chiquita was asked, “Who is your favorite Japanese character?” and answered, “Actually, like ASA, I like Kuromi! ” he answered.

Rami also responded to the question “Tell me your favorite part of “BATTER UP” with “Luka’s rap part!” In response to the request, Rami brilliantly improvised and expressed RUKA’s high-speed rap. Ta .

There will also be a “BM STUDIO” corner where each team member draws a picture for 3 seconds and the audience guesses the theme. There were some unusual answer illustrations that seemed difficult to get right, but all of the fans who were designated as answerers answered correctly.

The game ended in a draw, and everyone was given a crown as a reward. In addition, BABYBONSTER has come up with various ideas to create an event to entertain fans, such as a corner where autographed goods will be given away through a lottery.

Before the final performance, the seven members greeted each other in turn. Ahhyun said, “Thank you to everyone who came today. It feels like the time has passed so quickly.

Laura also said, “Thank you for having fun with us. I’m glad that we were able to finish the fan meeting in Tokyo safely.”

In the last part of the main event, the seven members showed off their amazing singing skills in front of the stand microphone.

In the pre-debut song “DREAM” released in May 2023, the lyrics that contain the will and determination of the girls ahead of their debut are sung with videos and photos from their trainee days in the background, inspiring emotion.

In addition, “Stuck In The Middle”, set to a gentle piano melody, is delicately expressed as the seven members make eye contact. Then, during “Scars To Your Beautiful” (original song: Alessia Cara), which was the group vocal mission song for “Last Evaluation,” the members stood shoulder to shoulder, and at the end of the performance, they joined together with the audience in handclaps. All members had overwhelming singing voices that were comparable to main vocals, and the deep harmony resonated.

Even after the main event ended, the cheers and calls for an encore continued, and BABYMONSTER reappeared on stage in response to those calls. He performed “Stuck In The Middle (Remix)” wearing event goods such as a T-shirt and a cap. In contrast to the ballad-like original song from earlier, the stage performance is full of smiles and includes dance.

When the members turned around after singing, there was a surprise slogan on the audience’s hand that read, “Let’s continue to see many different scenery together.” The seven people looked impressed and looked around at the scenery.

The last performance of the stage was a remix version of “BATTER UP”, which was released for the first time that day. The members bounced around to the four-on-the-floor beat, and the audience jumped along with them, making the venue feel like a dance hall. The show was wrapped in a sense of unity and had a gorgeous ending.
